♥ V-Day DIY Sugar LoveScrub: Kissable Lips and Glowing Skin

Hello Ladies and Gents! The winter months are über harsh on our skin. Lips look crusty and skin looks dull and ashy.  I know you too must get in that habit of adding more chap stick and more lotion to alleviate the problem. But honestly those commercial items contain petroleum which suffocate our skin and lips, not moisture them. I have a solution that will clarify and allow good skin cells to grow and moisture to be absorbed.

This sugar scrub recipe can also be a cute DIY gift. Guys if your give this to your girl you will score extra points with her in the romantic department.  Plus her skin or his skin will look and feel soft, radiant, rejuvenated, and silky.

You should have this texture

Sugar is a natural glycolic acid, which is very often used to scrub dead skin cells in order to stimulate the growth of new ones. Hence glowing skin. Coconut oil is very moisturizing and penetrates the epidermis quickly. Lemon is brightening, but can also be caustic, so be careful with using too much of this stuff. And good ol' Honey is a humectant, which attracts moisture. You can play around with the ingredients and make your own version of a spa treat.

Honey Lemon-Coco Scrub

1 &1/3 cup of Brown or White Sugar 

1.5 tbsp Coconut Oil 

1 tbsp Lemon Juice 

1 tbsp Dark Honey

Mix all the ingredients together in a container you will be storing your scrub in, until you have a smooth paste. You can decorate the jar with a cute bow if you are giving it as a gift, or you can keep it in a cool dark place for use.

Directions for use:

Make sure the skin is dampened with warm water or use after a warm/hot shower. Gently rub the sugar scrub in a circular motion to exfoliate.  You can use this all over your body: Including your face, just be gentle with scrubbing to hard, and avoid the eyes.  Rinse off and then tone and moisturize.

Happy Valentine's Day
