DIY Organic Brown Sugar Body Scrub: Money Saving Tip!
The winter months aren’t far off - many of us may be experiencing cold weather by the end of this month! Even though I do love winter, unfortunately my skin does not. I’ve tried a lot of different body washes, lotions, scrubs, etc, but when I tried this recipe for homemade body scrub I was in love. Not only does it leave your skin soft and moisturized, but the smell alone will have you hooked!
An added plus to making it yourself is that you save on the higher prices from many of the popular beauty stores. With simple and few ingredients, you can make this fast, and starting pampering yourself today!
1 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 cup sweet almond oil
2-3 capsules Vitamin E
1-2 drops of Vanilla Extract
Mix the ingredients well. Keep the scrub in an airtight container and it will last about a week (if you don’t use it all before the week is up!). Use it in the shower or by the sink to keep your hands moisturized and exfoliated (great for DIY manicures).
This also makes a fun and frugal gift idea for friends, neighbors, or family who love to smell good, pamper themselves, and enjoy quality ingredients. Check out discount stores for containers, wrap it with a bow for some holiday flair, and attach a gift tag.
