All-Natural Beauty



I have always loved the idea of homemade beauty products. All-natural. Inexpensive. Easy. It's like being let in on a big beauty secret. Shh...don't tell anyone. You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on department store lotions and potions. With some basic ingredients (think lemons, oatmeal, essential oils, sugar), you can create an arsenal of go-to beauty delights. This past weekend, I whipped up a few jars of brown sugar body scrub. Scoop up a handful, rub it on your arms and legs, rinse off, and reveal the glowing skin beneath. Here's a recipe if you'd like to try some yourself:


Brown Sugar Body Scrub

Ingredients
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup fine sea salt
1/4 cup grapeseed or jojoba oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon vitamin E oil
3-4 drops essential oil

Directions
01. Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
02. Transfer to a pretty container.
03. Enjoy!


(Please note: using this scrub can make the bathtub quite slippery. So, be careful stepping in and out!)
