Bye Bye dry skin!
Have you been dealing with dry, uncomfortable skin??? I sure have. Thankfully it's an easy fix with my easy body scrubs that I love to use directly in the shower.
To make a DIY body scrub, there the following items you'll need:
- spoons for mixing
- mixing bowl
- measuring spoons or cups
- a carrier or base oil, such as coconut oil, jojoba oil, grape seed oil, almond oil, or olive oil
- sealed container to store the scrub in
- a few drops of your favourite essential oils, if desired
Once you have those items, you can mix the oils with the granules of your choice, such as salt or sugar. You may also want to add other ingredients that can benefit your skin, like honey.
With homemade body scrubs, it’s important to get the consistency right. You don’t want it to be too runny, which can make it hard to scoop into your hands, but you also don’t want it to be too crumbly.
