Is your skin dry and flaky? Do you like giving and receiving handmade gifts? Well then this post is just for you!..... Okay okay, am I sounding like an informercial yet?
This sugar scrub recipe is so easy and I use mine at least once a week. And if you ask my loved ones they'll tell you that my skin is silky soft. ;] All you need is; brown sugar, white sugar, english breakfast tea bags, olive oil and essential oil of your choice (optional.) I use lavender oil because I usually use this scrub at night and lavender is known to help you relax and sleep better. You will also need a container. You can buy already empty containers at a craft store but I used an old container from The Body Shop, I just took off the label.
This recipe isn't an exact science. I simply mix 1 part brown and white sugar to 2 parts oil. I cut open a tea bag and pore the contents in the container and then I drop in 15-20 drops of lavender oil. Simply mix together and your are ready to scrub.
I also added washi tape to decorate my container and wrote "You're so sweet" on the top. It makes me smile every time I use this scrub.
I use black tea because it helps keep your skin firm and radiant.
I usually use this scrub for my face but I also have used it for my lips. (TIP: after I use it on my lips I have to use a good lip moisturizer.)
This scrub is so great because my skin feels so fresh and clean afterwards. I hope you find this recipe easy and that it helps you replenish your skin during these cold months. Make it for yourself or give it to your girlfriends for Valentine's Day! Or even have a Girls night and y'all can make it together!
What are your plans for Valentine's Day? Are you going out with your loved one? Staying in? Hangin' with the Gals? Or wearing all black and rebelling against all things red and pink?
Well Whatever your plans are have fun!
