Homemade Beauty Tip: Brown Sugar and Honey Facial Scrub

Hello folks! I have another homemade beauty tip you are sure to enjoy...Brown Sugar and Honey Facial Scrub. I'll cut to the chase and give you the recipe for it, and tell you my rave review about it after.

In a glass jar, fill it halfway with turbinado raw sugar (I used the one with bigger granules, but if you want a gentler scrub, try the kind with finer granules). Add a teaspoon of jojoba oil, mix it around. Then fill it with honey until it is completely saturated, and mix it around. That is it.

You can make this in single batches (like in a ramekin) or in a jar for continued use. I made a small batch just to try it out, loved the results and made a larger batch for daily use.

This super cheap scrub can be used on the face or the body. People prefer the sugar scrub for the face because it is gentler than the salt or nutshell scrubs. The sugar exfoliates, the honey cleanses and moisturizes, and the jojoba nourishes and moisturizes the skin as well. This scrub is gentler than the store kinds made with ground nutshells, is cheaper and works great. After using this, my skin is radiant, refreshed and glowing. Also, it's best to use it in the shower, that way you can be sure to rinse it off completely. The best part about it is, there are no harmful chemicals, it's cheap, it smells great, and provides excellent results.
