Hi everyone,
As the weather begins to cool, our skin becomes more high
maintenance. The best thing you can do to keep your skin healthy and fresh till
spring is to exfoliate and moisturize, and this Sugar & Olive Oil scrub does
both! Sugar Olive Oil Scrub You Need:
•1 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
•2 Tablespoons Organic Honey (does not have to be organic, regular honey is
fine too)
•3 ½ Cup Organic Sugar (does not have to be organic, regular sugar
is fine too, but no Splenda)
•4 Measuring utensils
•5 Chopstick or
stirring stick
•6 Clean container
Steps:
1.Add the extra virgin
olive oil to your container.
2.Next, add the honey. NOTE: Adding in this
order will help to get all the honey out of the measuring utensil
3.Add the
sugar to the mixture.
4.Stir well with the chopstick or stirring stick
Ta-da!
Tips:
- These amounts don’t need to be exact, and you can adjust the proportions as
needed.
- Do not store in the fridge – this will harden the mixture, which you do not
want.
- Don't be afraid of the oil! It won't clog your pores!
To Apply:
- Wash your face and make sure your makeup is completely removed before
applying the scrub
- Use a tiny spatula to scoop 1 little scoopful, and apply all over your
face
- Scrub in a broad, circular motion (avoid your eye area!)
- After about 60 seconds, rinse off the mixture
- Pat dry your face
- Usually, my skin feels thoroughly moisturized, and I only apply my eye cream
and acne solution after drying. But if you feel your skin still needs it, you
can also apply moisturizer at this step.
- Use only at nighttime, but not recommended for nightly use. If you have
sensitive skin, try using it once a week. If you have oily skin, twice using it
once a week or every 3-4 days.
This scrub is natural, organic and fresh, and it should last you up to 30
days. It works great on any type of skin, too; I’ve used it every winter, and
I’ve never had a problem with it.
BONUS: This scrub also works great on dry or rough skin on
the rest of your body. Apply it to your heels and feet for an at-home pedi
treatment!
Let me know if you give it a try!
