How To Make Fudgy DIY Chocolate Scrub Bars

These attractive-looking DIY chocolate scrub bars are perfect for your skin as we approach the chilly months.
However, they can be used at any time of the year if you don’t mind some coconut oil goodness once in a while.
The ingredients in this DIY sugar scrub are similar to those in a brownie recipe.
It contains brown sugar, which gives brownies a fudgy center.
Thick coconut oil and unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich-tasting brownie.
Unfortunately, you can’t munch on these, but your skin would appreciate them.
Though I didn’t add vanilla extract to mine, you can add a few drops to yours for an extra delicious aroma.
Also, feel free to create these in any shape and wrap them up as handmade holiday gifts.
Just make sure to label them “Chocolate Body Scrub Bars.”
So your loved ones know exactly what they were meant for.
Let’s make them.

How to use your DIY chocolate body scrub bars
- Before exfoliation, ensure your skin is clean to benefit from the products used.
- Then apply this scrub just like a soap bar on clean damp skin. The warmth from your skin would melt the coconut oil, making the product spread easily.
- Then with gentle circular movements, exfoliate your whole body, and let it sit for several minutes. When you are ready, rinse off the scrub with lukewarm water.
- Now don’t be tempted to grab a towel to dab off the water on your body. There’s no need for that. Allow the water droplets to evaporate on their own.
- You only need to moisturize your elbows, knees, and feet with coconut oil or a moisturizer of your choice.

A few important things to look out for when using this DIY cocoa sugar scrub bars
- First and foremost, this scrub is not coarse or tough on the skin.
- I believe it has to do with the packed brown sugar tiny granules.
- So if you worry about sugar granules, don’t fret; you’re fine.
- This homemade chocolate sugar scrub is messy, though not as much as the DIY coffee sugar scrub.
- It may leave some stains on your bathtub or shower curtain. But nothing soap and water can’t remove.
- Also, these melt and apply easily to the skin, thanks to the heat from your body.
- Lastly, wash the tub or shower cubicle before you step out to prevent slipping.
