Exfoliation is absolutely crucial for your skin. Did you know that mens’ faces age less because they shave every day and that exfoliates their skin? Now, one of the cheapest and easiest ways to exfoliate your entire body is to use a sugar scrub – no expensive ingredients required! Have fun experimenting with different scents and check out some of my favorite DIY sugar scrub recipes to easily make exfoliation part of your skincare routine:
1. Whipped Grapefruit Mint Sugar Scrub
Is there anything more refreshing or energizing than grapefruit and mint scents? This would be the perfect DIY sugar scrub to start your day off right. (via The Kitchen McCabe)
2. Sage & Blackberry DIY Sugar Scrub
The same old beauty scent combos can get a little old, but this one is super unique and one I’ve never tried before: sage & blackberry! Such a great combination that I would like a coordinating cocktail recipe to go with it 😉 (via Suburbia Unwrapped)
3. Matcha Green Tea Sugar Scrub Cubes
There are a lot of sugar scrub recipes out there, but this was the first sugar scrub cubes recipe I came across. I was immediately intrigued because I think this is super practical to have them in individual cubes instead of sticking your hand into the jar and making a mess. Plus, matcha is a DIY beauty powerhouse ingredient. (via Shrimp Salad Circus)
