How to Make Your Own Cucumber Scrub at Home
Step 1
First, add the chopped cucumber to a food processor. Next, add in the remaining ingredients. Process until smooth and the cucumber is completely processed into smaller pieces. Add the cucumber to a jar for use or gift-giving.
Be sure to store your cucumber mint sugar scrub in the refrigerator. You can take it out a few minutes before use to make the product easier to use. Be cautious when using any product with coconut oil in the shower. It can make the surface slippery and dangerous.

I would love to use this scrub in the mornings. Sounds like a great way to wake myself up!
This scrub sounds fantastic can’t wait to try it. I am assuming with the fresh cumcumber addded that it wouldn’t have a long shelf life, how do you suggest preserving it?
I would keep it in the fridge and use as quickly as possible!
Any thoughts on using fresh mint instead of or in addition to the peppermint oil?
I haven’t tried it personally. Sorry!
This looks so good! What a fun gift to make for friends or to enjoy yourself!
Thanks for sharing! Does it keep long?
It does not have any preservatives so it won’t keep long. Store in the refrigerator.
