Everyday we all have tons of stuff to do, many errands to run, work to complete and people to meet. And on top of that we have to give it all and try to stay at the top of our game. That is when the stress kicks in and a much needed pamper session can work wonders.
Today I want to share with you a very effective scrub that I use on a regular basis. It is not only cheap but it will leave your skin soft and happy again.
This scrub is made with natural products that help unwind and soften the skin. You'll need:
Sugar (to fill the glass jar)
1/2 cup of coconut oil (almond oil o jojoba oil also work very well)
1 tsp of bergamot essential oil (or another essntial oil that you like)
1 drop of food coloring (I used red)
1 glass jar
The coconut oil is one of the best products for our skin. It is very moisturizing and as it contains lauric acid it works very well with acne prone skin. It also helps prevent stretch marks. At room temperature it is hard, so I always scoop a bit in a small bowl and warm it in the microwave for about 10 to 20 seconds.
As essential oil I used bergamot. It acts as a stress reliever and also can help prevent colds. However, there are a lot of essential oils that can be used, and you can make different varieties of this scrub.
Mix in a bowl the sugar and the coconut oil. Depending on how wet or dry you want the scrub to be, you can add more or less oil. Then add the essential oil and the food colouring. Mix well. Then fill your glass jar and decorate!
The coconut oil will become hard again at room temperature, and I recommend that when you are about to take a shower or a bath, take a little of the scrub in a small bowl. With the warmth of the bathroom it will be more oily and lovely to use. If no water enters the scrub it can last about 6 months.
I hope that you try it and let me know how you liked it. Also, write in the comment below if you tried another scents and colours.
Until next time,
Pilar
