Do It Yourself Body and Face Scrubs | DIY



Hi sweeties,

Even it's winter and we are not going to the beach we still need to exfoliate because - I think - we still need wax and we want soft skin.


Why is so exfoliate is so important:

It's important because our skin is always renovating so exfoliation will take off all of our dead skin and give us an healthy skin.


My favorites:


  • Face and Lips:
Honey and Sugar


Mix 2 tea spoons of honey with 3 of sugar. Apply it and let it for 5 minutes. Take it off with tepid water or cold to toner your face. 
Honey will leave your face very moisturized but still need to moisturizer after.



  • Body:
Body Brush
Brush your body every days - I don't do it because I'm lazy and I forget - around 5 minutes before you get into the shower and you will notice that your skin will be stupidly soft.

Any kind of Oil and Salt 


Our body - mine does - needs an "harsh" exfoliator so I like to use cooking salt. Depends of your body length or if you only want to use it in your legs - as I do -  is around 3 full soup spoons of olive oil (but could be any other as baby oil/coconut oil/etc..) with 5/6 spoons of salt. And body is around the double. Let it for 10-15 min And take it of with tepid water. 


If you think your body will get oily - as I did first -  it's wrong, left your body super moisturized and smooth. If you want skip applying moisturizer.  



Coffee 
In this one you can use or not any oil if you are with wet ground coffee .
You will need: 1 1/4 cup ground coffee,  1 1/4 cup brown sugar , 1 cup coconut oil, 1/4 cup honey.  Mix them very very well. Apply it with circular motions. Cling wrap the most problematic areas and let it be for 10-20 min. Take it of with warm water.  

Because of the caffeine, will improve blood circulation and reduce the appearance of cellulite and varicose veins. Caffeine, being a natural antioxidant, prevents premature aging and draws out toxins from the body.



See ya Saturday,
Helena xxx.
