I’m excited to introduce you to my favorite tea tree coconut oil face scrub. It’s made with three ingredients and serves as an exfoliator, moisturizer, and make-up remover, all-in-one!
I battled dry and sensitive my whole life. Then, I started using a simple combo of coconut oil and sugar to exfoliate my face and my dry skin vanished. I started making my own coconut oil sugar scrubs 10 months ago and have used them everyday since. (Sometimes twice a day!)
When I was visiting my in-laws last month, I got a little cocky and used whatever soap was on-hand to wash my face. I paid the price, and by the time I got home my skin was starting to breakout.
Instead of going back to my old routine of exfoliating with a basic sugar scrub, I kicked things up a notch and used tea tree essential oil to make an easy foaming face wash for the morning and a tea tree coconut oil face scrub for the shower. Tea tree essential oil is a natural way to treat acne and it smells amazing! (More info on WebMD here.)
To make my homemade coconut oil face scrub, I used organic, raw Skinny Coconut Oil. I received a free sample from Skinny and Company and couldn’t wait to use such a high-end product on my face. Skinny and Company say that their coconut oil is “the premium coconut oil on the market” and, as a coconut oil connoisseur, I agree!
Whether you use Skinny Coconut Oil to make the perfect smoothie or whip up a homemade face scrub, you are going to love this stuff!
Homemade Tea Tree Coconut Oil Face Scrub
Yields: 4oz homemade tea tree coconut oil face scrub
Materials
- 1/2 cup organic coconut oil (I used Skinny Coconut Oil)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 10 drops organic tea tree essential oil
Directions
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and spoon into container.
To Use
- Massage into your face with circular motions for 30 seconds. (Avoid hairline so it doesn’t get greasy.) Rinse and pat dry. The oil will absorb immediately and you’ll be left with soft, sweet-smelling skin.
I’m happy to report that my skin is back to normal and feeling great. Many thanks to Skinny and Company for sending me a sample of Skinny Coconut Oil!

PS do you know anything about a electric canner for vegetable and so forth, I have a ceramic stove top and cannot use a canner on it.
I buy the sugar at the grocery store, the coconut oil from Skinny and Company, and the essential oil from Wyndmere Naturals (I sell it in my online shop). You might like my lavender sugar scrub. It’s very soothing and includes Vitamin E. Here’s the link:

I’ve never tried an electric canner. Sorry! I would check on Amazon for something.
Have you thought abt using this mixture on your hair ?, may be a stupid question but just wondering. Curious mind.
I’ve been making my own face scrubs also , will try the tea tree oil one next . My skin has never been better
That’s great feedback. Thanks!
I breakout easily. Will this make that worse?
I’m not sure. Have you used coconut oil on your face before?
Yes and it does wonders skin has never felt better.
Tea tree is good for breakouts.. I’m not sure if the coconut oil would counteract that
It shouldn’t. Break you out unless your allergic to coconut. Coconut oil is a carrion oil. It can be used for basically anything from food to face to hair its very versatile
How well/long does this store for? For example would this store well enough as a Christmas gift?
Yes, definitely! If you use quality coconut oil and essential oil, it will probably last a year. Just store it in a cool, dry place.
When you rinse it off, does the coconut oil clog the sink at all?
I don’t think so. I’ve never had that problem, but I don’t have old pipes.
Looks great!! What kind of container do you use for it? I hear you can’t put EOs in plastic, but I’m afraid of glass in the shower.
I’ve used these three:
I’ve also used regular glass jelly jars.
You can use plastic except with oils/blends containing citrus
EOs should alwaysbe stored on glass containers. ?
Just tried this and the sugar dissolved almost immediately. Didn’t really “scrub” much. Is that normal. Will the sugar clog my pores? I was surprised how it dissolved, I was expecting to rinse it off… Thanks 🙂

It dissolves pretty quickly in the shower.
Maybe try using sugar in the raw, which has larger crystals? I’ve made brown sugar scrubs, and it doesn’t dissolve much.
