DIY Coconut-Lemon Face & Body Scrub

Making your own sugar scrubs can be a little intimidating but it is really no trouble at all. Once you get used to making your own, you will see that it is pretty simple.

WHY MAKE YOUR OWN SUGAR SCRUBS?

By creating your own sugar scrub, you can control the ingredients so that they are pure, natural or even organic. Using a sugar scrub will give your skin a beautiful glow because it sloughs off those dead skin cells. It can also help with periodic breakouts.

Sugar
Sugar makes an excellent natural exfoliant. I like to use pure cane sugar as it is more gentle on the skin than organic raw sugar.

Honey
Honey is a natural remedy for breakouts because of its healing properties and ability to draw out bacteria from the pores.

Coconut Oil
Coconut oil can be extremely nourishing for the skin. In fact, using straight coconut oil on the skin as a moisturizer is perfectly acceptable.

Lemon Juice
Lemon juice can act as a brightening agent for the skin, giving your skin a toned, even appearance.

HOW TO USE

Use your scrub on the face and body 2-3 times a week to exfoliate the skin. Ironically, it is not best to scrub it on your skin. Gently roll the sugar scrub over the skin in circular motions. For breakouts or extra exfoliation, let the scrub sit on the skin for several minutes in the shower before rinsing off. The ingredients will have more time to soak into the skin.

If you would rather buy a coconut-lemon scrub from a professional skin-care line, instead of making one, try a lemon scrub from Simply Refined.

I recommend throwing out any unused DIY sugar scrubs after about a week of making it. As with any completely natural product, it is important to use it up quickly, while it is still fresh. Enjoy your beautiful glow!
