- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Directions: Warm the coconut oil to its liquid form to make mixing easier. Combine ingredients and stir.
Why it works: The honey naturally draws moisture to your skin, and the brown sugar acts as a gentle exfoliate. The coconut oil is a moisturizer with a small molecular structure, so it’s easily absorbed and doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy.
Alternate face scrub (for all skin types)
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 1/2 cup powdered milk
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- Petals from 2 dried roses
Directions: Mix for about 45-60 seconds in a blender. Pour about a teaspoon into your hand and add warm water. Mix into a spreadable paste and gently scrub onto your face, avoiding the eyes. Rinse thoroughly.
Why it works: The rolled oats soothe the skin. The rose petals also have a number of soothing properties: antibacterial, moisturizing and anti-inflammatory.
