Make your own body scrub...
I tore this recipe out of a magazine some time ago and recently rediscovered it in my "inspiration" folder that I keep for the blog. Seeing as how summer is around the corner (cue super smooth skin) and we are all looking to save a little green- this seemed like the perfect time to bust it out. It is easy to make and execute and most of the items needed to make it are probably already in your cabinets.
Ingredients:
Finely ground coffee beans
Brown sugar
Sesame oil
One sliced orange
Warned honey
Fave body lotion
1) Combine equal parts coffee and sugar, then slowly add sesame oil till mixture has the consistency of a soft paste.
2) Standing in shower and using both hands, firmly massage scrub in circular motion from feet to shoulders.
3) Now repeat the massaging motion but with the orange slices (probably will need about 8 for the whole body) - this will improve your circulation.
4)Apply a thin layer of honey to skin, leave on for five minutes and rinse. (You may want to bring a magazine into the bathroom with you for this step so you are not just standing in the shower twiddling your thumbs!)
5) Finish with your fave lotion.
Keep looking fabulous!
