You’ll also need a container to put your Exfoliating Sugar Scrub in. I love mason jars, but you can also use a cosmetic jar or a jar with a spoon.
How to Make DIY Hawaiian Bath Scrub
Combine the Epsom salt, sugar, and coconut oil. Stir until mixed.
Divide the scrub equally into 3 bowls.
Add 5+ drops of Lemon essential oil into bowl #1.
Stir in the drops of yellow gel food coloring in the same bowl (#1). Mix well.
Add 5+ drops of orange essential oil into bowl #2. Stir in the drops of orange gel food coloring into that bowl. Stir well to blend both the essential oil and gel food coloring.
Add 5+ drops of rose essential oil into bowl #3. Stir in the drops of red gel food coloring. Stir well to blend the essential oil and gel food coloring.
Layer the colored scrub in the order of your choice. Example: yellow on the bottom, orange as the second layer and red as the top layer.
Choose a container or jar with a lid of your choice. I’m a huge fan of mason jars, but you can also use a cosmetic jar.
Place in a corner of your bath tub.
