Amazing Sweet Orange & Citron Body Scrub

The expensive sugar scrubs you see in stores actually cost pennies to and really easy to make at home! Salt and sugar body scrubs are very simple beauty recipes and most importantly they are incredibly moisturising and

exfoliate the skin deeply. Exfoliating helps to rejuvenate the skin by removing the dead skin layer and leaves the skin smoother and fresher.

Since it is the end of the summer and most of us have been exposing to the sun regularly, we decided to post another DIY body scrub that will nourish deeply your skin. However this time we decided to make sugar-based scrub, as sugar tends to be more gentle to the skin and we chose carrot oil as a carrier.

Carrot oil is very rich in antioxidants that help to prevent and even repair skin damage from sun, poor nutrition and harsh environment. Its nutrients include beta carotene, Vitamins A and E and provitamin A. 

This body scrub will nourish deeply your skin, while the sweet orange and citron essential oils make your skin smell divine for hours!

Ingredients:

200g Regular or Brown Sugar

50ml Carrot Oil

Sweet Orange Essential Oil

Citron Essential Oil 

2-3 drops of food colouring (optional)

How to Make It?

Put the sugar in a mixing bowl, add the carrot oil and mix well. Add 3-4 drops of sweet orange essential oil and 2-3 drops of citron essential oil. Add food colouring (red and yellow to get orange) and mix well, until the colour is even throughout.

Lavender & Eucalyptus Body Scrub

This is one of my favourite handmade recipes, because it is very easy and quick to make. Most importantly, the difference is huge between this homemade scrub and any of the ones I have purchased.

Salt has natural relaxing and soothing properties, and it also helps circulation and exfoliates your skin. 

Generally you can use any salt, I prefer sea salt or Epsom salt. 

In this case I used sea salt that is available in any grocery store. The carrier oil is Sweet Almond Oil that is rich in Vitamin E and D and also in minerals such as calcium and magnesium. 

After using the scrub, the skin feels very soft and smells of lavender and eucalyptus for hours.

What you need?
125g Sea Salt

30ml Sweet Almond Oil

Food Colouring

Lavender Essential Oil

Eucalyptus Essential Oil

How to make it?

Put the salt and the oil in a container and mix well. Add the food colouring and mix until the colour is even. Finally add the essential oils.
