During these harsh, dry winters it's important to stay moisturized and exfoliated. If you're like me and on a budget, it's not likely you're going to be splurging on a Kiehl's body scrub. Instead, try this wonderful at home scrub using ingredients you likely already have laying around. The bonus? This scrub smells wonderful, is great for your skin, and makes shaving a much more enjoyable experience. PLUS you can ease your mind that you're not scrubbing a ton of chemicals onto your skin since you know exactly what goes in it!
What you need:
Brown Sugar
Coconut Oil
-Substitutions: Almond oil or olive oil. Coconut has TONS of benefits though.
Lemon juice
-Naturally squeezed is best, but the packaged stuff is good too!
Honey
*Optional* Oatmeal
In a jar put as much brown sugar as you'd like to use for your scrub. I used about a cup. If you want it more coarse, use more, less coarse, use less. Warm up oil for 15 seconds in the microwave. Add to brown sugar. Stir. Add spoonful of honey and spoonful of lemon juice, or the juice from half a lemon if using fresh.
You can tell after stirring how the consistency is. If you'd like it more coarse, add the oats or more brown sugar.
Voila! Scrub over body and enjoy a relaxing experience! The scent is wonderful and the oil leaves the skin feeling great.
