Skin Care at Home: DIY Face & Body Scrub

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Helsinki chapter.

The unpredictable weather and the cold winter air can be very harsh for your skin, so now’s the time to give your skin a little extra loving. Treat yourself with a face and body scrub that leaves your skin soft and smooth. It’s quick and simple to make, and you need only three ingredients.

Organic brown sugar gently exfoliates

Jojoba oil nourishes your skin and doesn’t clog pores

Honey has antibacterial properties

Directions:

Mix sugar, jojoba oil and two tablespoons of honey together. Store in an airtight container and use within three months; a glass jar works fine and looks nice in your bathroom cabinet.

Apply the scrub to your face and/or body with your fingertips, massaging in a circular motion (avoid the sensitive eye area!). Rinse with warm water and pat your skin dry.

Use once or twice a week for a healthy looking, bright complexion.
