If you’re into natural and homemade beauty products like I am, there’s really not much that beats a homemade facial and body scrub. Giving myself this facial scrub makes me feel pampered, and it does a great job of buffing away dead skin and leaving me feeling refreshed.

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp Honey
• 1/4 cup light olive oil or coconut oil
• 1 cup sea salt, raw turbinado or granulated sugar
• 2 tsp citrus zest (lemon or orange works best)

Blend the ingredients together and gently buff skin.  The honey naturally draws water into the skin and the salt/sugar buffs away the dead skin cells.
