DIY Body/Face Scrub
Exfoliation is the process of scrubbing your body and/or face with gritty ingredients to remove dead skin cells. Exfoliating your skin two to three times per week is the key to keeping your skin soft and smooth.
The ingredients in some scrubs include dyes, frangrances, and even stuff you can't pronounce! Those pricey "all natural" exfoliators have ingredients that you can find in the the grocery store.
You don't need to spend tons of money on a scrub, just make your own! Here is a simple recipe to make your very own face/body scrub!
DIY Scrub:
1. Pour some sugar into a bowl, tupperware, jar, anything that will hold it.
2. Add a little water to make a paste and scrub away! This can be used for both face and body.
- Tip: Wet face or body with warm water before scrubbing.
Some variations of the recipe:
- Substitute sugar with sea salt for a salt scrub or mix both sugar and sea salt together for extra scrubby goodness!.
- Instead of mixing with water to make the paste, try mixing it with olive oil, grape seed oil, sweet almond oil, or even honey. All of these ingredients are very moisturizing and won't clog pores.
- Don't forget to mositurize, moisturize, moisturize after exfoliating! -
See, I told you it was simple. Talk to you later my little beauty hunters!
