Let me just say Y’all, I am in scrub heaven! I can’t get enough of facial, body and lip scrub recipes! The article “10 DIY Exfoliators and Sugar Scrubs - So Good You Could Eat Them” by Alexandra Evans, drew me in, for sure! Looking at the images I could almost smell them through my Mac Pro screen! No, really!
Being that I’m on this whole detox train now; see my previous post on the detox bath for proof, I dove right into making and trying these sugar scrub recipes. I made up the "Green Tea Sugar Scrub” right away, and it left my skin feeling completely exfoliated, soft and it smelled good too! Check out the ingredients below:
Ingredients:
• 1 1/2 cup of Suger (in my opinion brown coarse sugar)
• 2tsp Green tea powder
• 2 Green tea bags
• 1 cup Coconut oil

There so many benefits to exfoliating our skin, and the results are fantastic! Rough skin and dry patches, be GONE! “There are so many exfoliating scrubs on the market, but some can contain plastic microbeads, which are no good for the environment. They don’t break down and they’re too tiny to be filtered out by sewage systems. So what happens? Fish swallow them. Read more about why California proposed a ban on these beads here. You wont miss the exfoliating sensation by ceasing to use those beads.”
I love the idea of making various scrubs, putting them in cute little (or big) jars, and gifting them to friends, family, coworkers, whomever! We can all benefit; just be sure when you share, that you provide the ingredients. Natural doesn’t mean it’s safe for everyone. Some people are allergic to certain ingredients. So doing a skin test is recommended. OK, so be sure to check out her article for other scrub recipes such as: the Baby Rose Sugar Scrub, Coffee Scrub for Fading Stretch Marks, Pluot-Pear Body Exfoliator, Pumpkin Spice Body Scrub (yum!), Vanilla Pumpkin Body Scrub, and more!
Happy scrubbing! Be sure to share any tips in the comments on exfoliating, detoxing or sugar scrub recipes! Sharing is caring!
