Winter’s chilly, dry air can be very hard on our skin, especially here in Arizona. And the holiday season can be very hard on our wallets… So we have a solution for both. With this home-made sugar scrub recipe you can cure your skin without putting a dent in your wallet. Organic plant –based ingredients nourish and protect your skin naturally, so you can attain that healthy glow by using ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.
Ready to get started? Here’s what you’ll need:
2 cups of brown sugar (lightly packed)
½ cup of olive oil (or any plant based oils such as almond, coconut, or sunflower)
¼ cup of honey (honey not only moisturizes your skin, it helps hold the moisture in)
1 teaspoon of vanilla (this is purely for scent, so if you prefer something different you can use a tablespoon of your favorite dried herb.)
Simply mix all of your ingredients together in a tight sealing container and massage into your skin before a bath or a shower. To make sure the mixture lasts longer you can toss in the contents of one punctured Vitamin E tablet (not only will this keep the oil fresh, it will add healing power to your home-made scrub!).
