natural humectant, meaning it draws moisture into your skin, keeping it
hydrated.

How to make
the scrub
·
1. Measure ingredients: Start by
measuring out 1 cup of sugar and placing it in a mixing bowl. Sugar will be the
main exfoliating ingredient in your scrub.
·
2. Add honey: Pour in the
honey. Honey will help to bind the ingredients together and
add moisture to your skin.
·
3. Add oil: Next, a cup of olive oil or coconut
oil. This helps to nourish and hydrate your skin. Coconut oil can also add a
nice scent to the scrub.
·
4. Mix together: Stir all the ingredients
together until well combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky. If you
want, you can add a few drops of essential oil for a pleasant fragrance.
Lavender or peppermint oils are good choices.
·
5. Store the scrub: Put the scrub in a clean,
airtight container. You can store it in a jar with a lid. This scrub can be
kept at room temperature and should last for a few weeks.

How to use the
scrub
·
1. Prepare your skin: Before using the scrub,
make sure your skin is clean and damp. You can use it in the shower or after
washing your face.
2. Apply the scrub: Take a small amount of the scrub and gently rub it onto your skin in circular motions. Be careful not to scrub too hard. Focus on areas
that are dry or rough, like elbows, knees, and feet.
3. Rinse off: After scrubbing for a
few minutes, rinse off the scrub with warm water. Make sure all the sugar and
honey are washed away.
4. Pat dry and moisturise: Gently
pat your skin dry with a towel. Apply a moisturiser to keep your skin soft and
hydrated.
Tips
for best results
- Patch test: If you have
sensitive skin, do a patch test before using the scrub all over.
Apply a small amount to your wrist or behind your ear and wait 24 hours to
see if there is any reaction.
- Use once or twice a week: Using
the scrub too often can irritate your skin. Once or twice a week is enough
to keep your skin smooth and healthy.
- Customise your scrub: You can
customise your scrub by adding different ingredients. For example, adding
a tablespoon of lemon juice can brighten your skin. Adding ground oats can
make the scrub more soothing.
Making your own honey and sugar
scrub is easy. Not only does it save money, but it also lets you know exactly
what you are putting on your skin.
