Honey Sugar Scrub :)

Bonjour Lovelies! 

Honey!
            I have a new obsession! Honey. As a part of my skin care routine. Normally when one thinks of Honey, they think of sweet, bees, or food. Skin Care usually doesn't come to mind when I usually think of Honey. I was doing some natural skin care research for things you could do at home, when I came across a lot of posts and videos about the skin care use of honey. Naturally, I was intrigued. After reading quite a few things, I found out that Honey is a natural antimicrobial. This means that it kills and resists bacteria. Plus, it is a natural humectant and therefore good for moisturizing. So, using that, plus my knowledge of lemon juice and sugar, I decided to make a all in one scrub that contained moisturizing, antimicrobial, and exfoliant properties. If you didn't read my post about Chamomile and Lemon Juice toner, Lemon Juice is a great natural exfoliator. We all know that sugar is a great exfoliator as well. I combined all three things to create the best scrub for the face and lips!

You Will Need:
  • 1 tablespoon of honey (doesn't matter which kind. I used orange blossom)
  • A decent squirt of Lemon Juice ( I used "real lemon" )
  • 4 tablespoons of White Granulated Sugar 
  • A small tupperware contained (preferably with a lid for storage)
Instructions:

  1. Place sugar in container.
  2. Mix honey with sugar
  3. Add Lemon Juice
  4. Mix again
  5. Apply to face
  6. Massage into skin
  7. Rinse.
I Hope You Enjoyed!
xoxo Liv
