Making your own skincare can be a little intimidating but it is really no trouble at all. Once you get used to making your own products, you will see that it is pretty simple.
WHY MAKE YOUR OWN SUGAR SCRUBS?
Creating your own sugar scrub allows you to carefully select the ingredients that come into contact with your skin, including more natural and organic options. Sugar scrubs provide gentle exfoliation, helping to remove dead skin cells and reveal smoother, softer, more radiant-looking skin. Regular exfoliation may also help minimize occasional breakouts by keeping the skin’s surface clean and refreshed. Each ingredient in this scrub has been thoughtfully selected for its beneficial properties, making it a simple and effective addition to your skincare routine.
Sugar
Sugar makes an excellent natural exfoliant. I like to use pure cane sugar as it is gentler 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 complexion a more 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 apply the sugar scrub to 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. This allows the ingredients more time to soak into the skin.
I recommend throwing out any unused sugar scrub after a couple weeks 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!
