Body scrubs are great! They leave skin feeling fresh and smooth as well as healthy and glowing by exfoliating off old layers of dead skin. (They are also a must before applying sunless tanner or getting a spray tan.) However, sometimes you just don’t have the money to buy one or just don’t have one on hand to use when you need a good scrub. No worries….you can make your own body scrub using ingredients that you most likely already have stashed in your kitchen pantry. Below is one of body scrub recipes that I have found while scouring the web….enjoy!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup course brown sugar
1 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients; mix well
- Apply to body and massage into skin
- Rinse
Just remember the consistency of your scrub should be not too oily/runny but it also shouldn't be dry/crumbly. Also, you can always adjust any of these recipes to better suit your needs and preferences. If your scrub is too oily/runny just add some more sugar or salt. If your scrub is too dry, add some more oil.
