I tried this recipe in two different formats to test each one. With one I put 1/4 cups coconut oil, as the recipe states, and 1/2 cups sugar. The other I put 1/4 cups olive oil and 1/2 cups sugar. Just to make sure the test was not a gimmick, I also put in a control variable which was just made of sugar, nothing added in. I put the control on one of my legs with the olive oil on half a leg and the coconut on the other side of the same leg. I did this so it would be easier to feel the line of difference between them.
These were my findings under a warm shower (after shaving):
CONTROL – SUGAR:
Smell: n/a
Grease factor while showering: –
Grease factor after showering: –
Exfoliation/roughness: Quite rough in use, but easy to wash off.
After shower feel: It felt smooth but dry.

COCONUT OIL:
Smell: It smelled like coconut as one would expect. I found it quite nice.
Grease factor while showering: It was not as bad as you would expect. While I was making the mixtures I thought this was going to go horribly because of how greasy it would feel when I tried to wash my hands. While showering there was a totally different feeling, it was really relaxing and nice, not too abrasive.
Grease factor after showering: My skin feels smooth. On the leg that I used the olive oil scrub it feels like there is a light moisturizer on it, but on the coconut side it is definitely a thicker layer. It is not a bad thing and it definitely feels better than just the sugar!
Exfoliation/roughness: It was not rough at all! It was really smooth to scrub on but you could feel the sugar working its magic with exfoliating.

OLIVE OIL:
Smell: Let me just warn you that it does NOT smell good. While making it the olive oil smelled so bad and I thought I was going to hate it. While showering the smell was quickly washed off and there was nothing left.
Grease factor while showering: It was easy to apply and did not feel as greasy as I would normally expect. Truly surprised!
Grease factor after showering: There was definitely a difference in the thickness of the “moisturizer”. This one was definitely a lighter feeling after showering and drying off.
Exfoliation/roughness: It did not feel like it was exfoliating as much as the other two did but it was very smooth to put on and rub.

Overall I am impressed with my findings and I hope this will help you too!
