Easy DIY natural face, lip and body scrub!

Hey guys! I've got something really simple to share today - a totally natural DIY scrub that you can make with just FOUR ingredients and can be used on your face, lips or body! I tried this out today after a little research and decided to post it straight away as I was extremely happy with the results! This particular recipe made my face feel ridiculously soft and is so, so easy to make.

All you need for this scrubs is:


  • Sugar
  • Honey
  • Water
  • Vanilla flavouring (optional!)


Step 1:
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!
