Ingredients
- 1/4 Sugar- I used a mix of brown, white (granulated) and white organic cane sugar. Sugar is a great gentle, natural exfoliant. Since many other exfoliants are rougher and can sometimes do more damage than good, balancing it out which brown sugar helps to gently remove dead skin cells.
- 1/4 cup Olive oil- Olive oil is jam packed full of nutrients and antioxidants such as vitamins A and E which are both incredible for your skin! Vitamins A & E can help to repair skin damage from sun exposure and pollutants in the atmosphere.
- 1/4 cup Coconut oil- Reduces inflammation, keeping skin moisturized and helping heal wounds. The medium-chain fatty acids found in coconut oil also possess antimicrobial properties that can help treat acne and protect the skin from harmful bacteria.
- 1/2 Honey- Naturally antibacterial, so it's great for acne treatment and prevention. Full of antioxidants, it is great for slowing down aging. It is extremely moisturizing and soothing.
- Juice of one lemon- Lemons are rich in vitamin C and citric acid, so they can help brighten your skin when used over time.
Instructions
- Add half the sugar to all the other ingredients and mix well.
- Mix in the rest of the sugar.
Apply to the skin in a circular motion to boost circulation and scrub off dead skin.
This will give you smooth, glowing and youthful looking skin. It is great to do before and inbetween shaving to prevent ingrown hairs.
Use within a month or so.
