DIY | HONEY AND GREEN TEA SCRUB

i love making homemade body and facial scrubs, because they're so cheap and simple to make. For this scrub, you probably already have the ingredients in your panty, and if not, it's easy to find at your local grocery store! the honey and green tea scrub will leave you body (and face) looking and feeling radiant, soft and hydrated.

this SCRUB IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES, BECAUSE IT only CONTAINS INGREDIENTS THAT ARE BENEFICIAL FOR YOUR SKIN. sugar is a natural exfoliant that will buff away dry skin. honey CONTAINS many benefits. It helps fight acne (contains antibacterial properties), prevents aging (contains antioxidants that slow down the aging process) and is COMPLEXION BOOSTING (contains hydrating properties). coconut oil is full of vitamin e (keeing skin smooth and protected against cracking) and proteins (helps with tissue repair). Lastly, green tea is known for combating aging. the best benefit of making your homemade scrub? you know exactly what's going on your skin and you can taylor it to your specific skin needs!

INGREDIENTS: 

1 CUP GRANULATED SUGAR

1 TBSP MANUKA HONEY (OR ORGANIC HONEY, AS MANUKA IS EXPENSIVE)

1 CUP COLD PRESSED COCONUT OIL

4 TEABAGS OF GREEN TEA

YOU CAN ALSO ADD ESSENTIAL OILS FOR A NICE AROMA. I LOVE ADDING LAVENDER OIL, AS THE SMELL IS SO RELAXING.

COMBINE ALL OF THE INGREDIENTS TOGETHER INTO A MEDIUM SIZED BOWL AND MIX UNTIL ALL INGREDIENTS ARE EQUALLY DISTRIBUTED. then in the shower or bath, simply rub all over your body and face. i also like keeping it on my face for about 5-10 minutes so my skin can asorab the nutrients. THAT'S IT, SUPER SIMPLE!  

What are some of your favorite homemade scrubs? i'd love to know!
