Home Made Body Scrubs

Today's post is on home made body scrubs! I love the quick and easy recipes that you can just throw together after a long day. So I decided to share my secrets with the world. These are really good for getting rid of dry or scaly skin, and this is just a few, I will post more in the future.

Body Scrubs

• Coffee Scrub
• Honey Scrub
• Margarita Scrub

Coffee Scrub

You will need:

• 1 tbs of Coffee (any temp.)
• 1 tbs of milk
• 1/2 cup of coarse or brown Sugar, if you don't have it coarse Sea Salt will do.
• 1 tsp of oil

So to start put your Salt or Sugar in a bowl, add your oil and mix well. This prevents the coffee from dissolving the sugar. Now add your milk and coffee, only to about this consistency. You will want this consistency for all the scrubs. Rub face for 30 sec - 1 min, then leave on until your face feels stiff. Wash off with warm water and pat dry. And on a personal note, I like using hot or warm coffee for a relaxing effect.

Honey Scrub

You will need:

• 1/4 cup of Honey
• 1/2 cup of Brown Sugar

Simply mix the honey and the sugar. Rub face for 30 sec - 1 min, then leave on until your face feels stiff. Wash off with warm water and pat dry.This scrub feels GREAT, and it makes your skin so smooth. and really moisturizes. This one is super easy and I always find myself making it.

Margarita Scrub

You will need:

• 2 or 3 tbs of lime juice
• 1 tsp of olive oil
• 1/2 cup of Coarse Sea Salt

This is a really great scrub, but I don't recommend it if you have moderate to bad acne or any broken skin or cuts on your face. Though technically speaking if you have cuts or broken skin on your face you shouldn't be using any scrubs. Anywho...Add your salt, then oil, mix well and then your lime juice. This scrub is very invigorating, good for a girls night made with a margarita to drink as well.

If you want you can also triple the recipe for any of the scrubs and put it in a jar for later use, it also can make a really nice gift, tie a little bow on it.
