If you’ve never done Mary Kat Satin hands then you are missing out! It is my favorite hand moisturizing, exfoliating, skin softening scrub and I love it even more because you can make it at home! This is a copy cat way of making Mary Kat Satin hands which will cost you just a few bucks. Also, these are PERFECT for gifts! Just grab a cute jar from the dollar store and a ribbon to decorate it!
Enjoy…..your hands are going to LOVE you after this! 😉
Ingredients:
- 1 bottle of Dawn Olay Beauty Hand renewal soap
- Lots of sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons Coconut oil (optional)
Directions:
- Fill your jar 3/4 full with sugar
- Slowly add in the dish soap and stir softly until it is all combined. Do not add too much soap because you want this to be the consistency of paste.
- (Optional Step) Add coconut oil and mix well (this needs to be room temperature so it is oil but very important, do not add hot coconut oil to the sugar mixture or it will melt the sugar and not be considered a scrub anymore).
- Store with a lid and use whenever your hands need some TLC. 😉

I have been making this scrub for years (without the coconut oil)- I have used it in gift baskets for the ladies in our family and they all loved it. Take that scrub, a bottle or bar of lotion, a scrubber, some nice nail polish, and cheap spa socks/ gloves and you have a fairly reasonably priced and thoughtful gift. Especially thoughtful for winter hands or for summer flip flop feet.
Totally trying this. Pinning now! Thanks!
Pinned.
Never tried this before but I just mght have to. Thanks for sharing.
Can you use the pink Palmolive version with vitamin e? I that. When doing dishes, the dawn takes forever to rinse clean.

What size soap do you buy and how much sugar? I’m wondering how much this will make and how much I need 🙂
Does it have to be that kind of soap or whatever you have laying around?
I made this according to directions but after sitting all the sugar went to the bottom and only have dish soap on top.
After reading Beth’s comment I am thinking I will include a wooden craft stick with it… just gotta figure out a cute idea for attaching it!
I tied the craft sticks on with ribbons.
Dollar Tree has one pkg hair ties all colors $1 for 50 ties.
You have to mix it up before use. I have some expensive scrub that I have to do the same thing with.
I made this for Christmas gifts, only I add olive oil too. No need for lotion after using.
Great idea- How much olive oil?
This is just not Mary Kay. So disappointing. The sugar all goes to the bottom. Mary Kay is the best. Mary Kay smells much better too.
This is a thumbs down for me! 🙁
I agree. At least half the reason why I like MaryKay is because of the scent.
Hi,
This is what I use on my hands in the summer when my hands are full of dirt etc. from gardening and in the winter to remove that dead dry skin from your hands. If you don’t like the smell add some essential oils.
