Quality beauty products are hard to source and they are usually full of harsh chemicals. Face and body scrubs are a must have for every woman, because they are one of the very important beauty routine that gives the skin it’s natural radiance.  Have you ever experienced skin tone different after the beach tan is gone? Well,  winter is the time to pumper and take care of your skin and give it the nourishment it needs. Exfoliating both body and face with scrubs are one of the most affective ways to bring the smoothness and youthful look back to your skin.

Benefits of Exfoliation 

The gentle application of an exfoliant scrub enables the flaky old skin cells to be removed from the surface of the skin. This beauty method leaves the skin feeling fresh, smooth and  more supple, and also brightens the appearance. It is important to use a product and application method that is most suited to your skin type as overexfoliating may cause the skin to become irritated and dry. The scrub I am sharing with you today is made with 100% therapeutic essential oils from Young Living ( BUY THEM HERE ) and other 100% organic ingredients.

1. Removal of dead skin cells helps with skin discoloration
2. Exfoliating keeps the skin soft and glowing
3.  Kills bacteria and prevents breakouts
4.  Improves product penetration and treatment results
5.  Helps with the detoxification of the skin
6.  The removal of dead skin cells speeds up the skin renewal process, allowing smoother, healthier skin cells to take their place

• 4 tablespoons  coconut oil non melted (buy it here)
• 1 tablespoon  almond oil (buy it here)

Mix all the dry ingredients together, add all the oils. The mix shouldn’t be dry or too loose. If you experience any of that please add some sugar or almond oil. Some brands of salts and sugars absorb liquids differently.

You can either apply the scrub and massage your skin to exfoliate with your fingers or use  gloves, or mitts. Those helps remove dead skin cells from rough parts of the epidermis as you wash. Applying circular movements, working from the feet towards the heart, will also help improve circulation of blood in the body (Buy mitts here).

While the secret for a beautiful skin happens mostly internally with a healthy balanced diet, It ‘s also really important to choose beneficial external skin care products. Toners were originally devised as an extra cleansing step to remove dirt and impurities from makeup and environmental pollution. I am really picky when it comes to choosing what’s best for my skin, so most of the time I prefer making my own with 100% natural ingredients. This amazing and easy homemade toner will leave your skin feel softer and balanced. It’s great for sensitive skin due to the soothing properties of rose water and cucumber. I use it every morning after my homemade face wash  ( FIND THE RECIPE HERE ) and have seen great result in my skin tone and elasticity.

I choose the most purest ingredients and use high grade essential oils in all my beauty recipes. The ancient civilizations used lots of oils in their beauty routine especially the Egyptian. Who doesn’t know about Cleopatra’s beauty routine ?! It’s pretty common in my culture to involve her secrets when making beauty products. My mom use to make a lavender soap that she says was inspired by cleopatra’s beauty ritual. Get pure essential oils here.
