Beauty DIY : Sugar Scrub

Hi there,

Today, I'm gonna share one of my favorite Homemade DIY Sugar Scrub. It is super simple and all natural.

My skin is so sensitive towards .. mmm.. 'everything'. So I kind of stop using skin product that I buy from the store and use all natural ingredients instead and my skin feels amazing.. seriously. What you put on your skin is absorb faster to your body with no protection whatsoever.
Scary fact, huh? But it's true. I just knew that fact at the age of 29 in my life. Okay, so that's that.

Honey Cinnamon Sugar Scrub
Ingredients :
- 1/2 cup brown sugar ( good for sensitive skin like myself )
- 1/3 cup of coconut oil ( can be substitute with olive oil / grapeseed oil / almond oil )
- 1/3 cup of pure honey
- 1/8 cup ground cinnamon
So mix it well and keep it in an air-tight container jar. It can lasts about 2 month on the counter. Well, I kinda make a fresh batch every week. Tee-hee..



Direction of usage :
1. Wash your face with lukewarm water and pat it dry.
2. Apply the scrub in circular motion for 15 second. Gently rub it on your skin.
3. You can apply on the other part of your body as well. Start from face, neck, arms, armpits, tummy, back body, legs and feet. (Yeah, go nuts! Hihihi)
4. Leave it for 15 minutes and wash it off with slightly cold water.

Benefits :
a) Brown sugar - Exfoliates dead cells on our skin. Remove dirt gently and thoroughly. 
b) Coconut oil - Anti fungal, anti bacteria, whitens skins and moisturise skin.
c) Pure honey - Natural antioxidant and anti microbial. Moisturises skin.
d) Ground cinnamon - Reduce face and back acne.

Author Notes :
* You should ONLY scrub 2 times a week. That is every 3-4days per time.
* Never over scrub, you might irritate and dry out your skin. (Too much of a good thing, might be bad for you. Moderation is key)
* If you feel rather oily afterwash, you can rinse with soapy water. Use mild soap, I'll  share homemade head-to-toe bodywash on the next next entry, kay?
* You should try making a small batch of the scrub 1st, to see whether if you have any allergic reaction.

Author Good-Will Wishes :
Happy trying and enjoy the smooth, soft skin after you scrub and wash. (My own face and body treatment at home.)
Bye peeps, see you again on the next entry. Have a beautiful day.
