\n\"\"<\/a>Making your own sugar scrubs can be a little intimidating but it is really no trouble at all.\u00a0Once you get used to making your own, you will see that it is pretty simple.<\/p>\n

WHY MAKE YOUR OWN SUGAR SCRUBS?<\/h4>\n

By creating your own sugar scrub, you can control\u00a0the ingredients so that they are pure,\u00a0natural or even organic. Using a sugar scrub will give your skin a beautiful glow\u00a0<\/a>because it sloughs off those dead skin cells. It can also help with periodic breakouts.<\/p>\n

Sugar<\/strong><\/span>
\nSugar makes an excellent natural exfoliant. I like to use pure cane sugar as it is more gentle on the skin than organic raw sugar.<\/p>\n

Honey<\/strong><\/span>
\nHoney is a natural remedy for breakouts because of its healing properties and ability to draw out bacteria from the pores.<\/p>\n

Coconut Oil<\/strong><\/span>
\nCoconut oil can be extremely nourishing for the skin. In fact, using straight coconut oil on the skin as a moisturizer is perfectly acceptable.<\/p>\n

Lemon Juice<\/strong><\/span>
\nLemon juice can act as a brightening agent for the skin, giving your skin a toned, even appearance.<\/p>\n
