Finally finished my tube of face scrub which had been around forever. I had been thinking of making my own for some time now and found plenty of cool ideas.
Decided to try the simplest, fastest combination with ingredients available in my kitchen.
Mixed a teaspoon of honey with equal parts oil (I used olive oil) and stirred in brown sugar until a very thick paste is formed.
Got in the shower, scooped up the paste and scrubbed away, followed by a wash with my cleanser to remove the oil. I used the remainder of the scrub on my neck, shoulder, back... you get the idea. No waste.
Solution:
Honey + Oil + Sugar = Scrub
Observations:
Honey - Soothing and smalles nice. Tasty too.
Oil - Dilutes the honey so it is more manageable. Also moisturizes.
Sugar - Gentle abrasive. Finer grains are gentler on the face but coarse works just fine on the body.
Tip:
Sugar can be substituted with Salt.
There are other kinds of scrub recipes.
