Sugar scrubs are an excellent way to exfoliate dry, itchy skin and release ingrown hairs. Since sugar is a gentle exfoliant (and doesn’t sting like salt), and honey is naturally antibacterial, it’s extremely good for body acne treatment and prevention. Carrots contain a powerful natural antiseptic that kills germs, protects skin from free radicals and promotes the regeneration of healthy skin cells. The trick with a scrub is to use it while the skin is dry and then rinse it off in the shower. Do not use this scrub on the face; it might irritate sensitive skin.
Super easy
1 large carrot, cleaned and grated
1 1/2 cups organic light brown sugar
2 tablespoons Texas honey
1/2 cups local olive oil, or enough to reach desired scrub texture
Carrot, Honey and Sugar Body Scrub Directions
Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl, mix well, then portion into reusable jars.
Before each shower, rub liberal amounts of the scrub onto the skin, then shower as usual. Refrigerate the scrub between uses.
