Tips to Make this Mermaid Sugar Scrub
-
Store your mermaid sugar scrub in an airtight container for up to three days. Storing it in the refrigerator can be refreshing on tired feet, but it won’t extend the life of the scrub.
-
Add just a few drops of lavender essential oil to the mixture to turn your mermaid sugar scrub into a calming, aromatherapy enriched experience.

Mermaid Foot Scrub
Winter feet need a summer refresh from this mermaid sugar scrub! It's a quick and easy beauty DIY to smooth and soothe tired feet.
Materials
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cold pressed coconut oil
- blue soap colorant
- optional: blue and/or purple sugar sprinkles
- optional: 5 drops of essential oil
Tools
- Jar
Instructions
- Mix the coconut oil and sugar together in a bowl.
- If your scrub is not as solid as you'd like, add more sugar. If you feel it is too dry, add in a dab of coconut oil until you get the consistency you want. Because coconut oil will solidify if it is cooler, using your hands may activate more of the oil, so be aware that the consistency can change.
- Add 2 drops of blue coloring for a little tint and mix well.
- Place your sugar scrub in your jar and add sprinkles, as desired (you know, for a little more fun).

Can u use food coloring instead of colorant?
Sarah Nenni-Daher says
Kim, You can, however, it isn’t recommended because it can stain tubs. I use soap colorant which can be picked up at JoAnn’s and most craft stores (though I get most of mine from Amazon).
