All you need for this scrubs is:
- Sugar
- Honey
- Water
- Vanilla flavouring (optional!)
Mix together 1 tspn of sugar with every 1 tspn of honey until you have the amount you want. To make a one-time face scrub try 3 tspns of each ingredient to get a good quantity. For a scrub that you can use on the rest of your body too, use 3 tbsn rather than tspn! The great thing about this is if you use make too much, you can store it in a container and pop it in the fridge to use again.
At this point it may look like a very solid lump. Don't panic!
Step 2:
Add 2 tspn lukewarm water for every 3 tspn of honey/sugar to make it a less sticky and solid. Additionally you can continue to add water if you want a thinner scrub or more sugar for a more gritty texture (for example to use on the feet or any hard skin areas).
Step 3 (optional):
Add 1-2 tspn of vanilla extract to the scrub to give a nice vanilla scent. You can additionally add 1 tspn of tea tree oil to help fight spots or acne or even substitute the water for freshly squeezed orange juice for a boost of vitamin C if you have dry skin.
If you try out this scrub, let me know how you got on!
