Exfoliating Face Scrub

I love using exfoliating body products. I just love how soft my skin is after using them. Since I’ve moved from using an exfoliating face cleanser on a normal basis (over to my honey face wash), I’ve been missing the regular exfoliation. I love the post-shaving sugar scrub that I use on my legs so I changed the recipe to suit my needs.This is a fantastic exfoliator but it is slightly on the oily side. It is great for occasional use to help moisturize that dry winter skin. By using the tea tree and lavender oil you get great antiseptic properties to help heal any skin blemishes.

Exfoliating Sugar Scrub

I love exfoliating scrubs. They are especially great right after I shave my legs! This recipe has a bunch of fantastic oils that are sure to keep your skin super hydrated.I chose to add peppermint essential oil since it encourages circulation. You could use whatever oil or oil blend you like. Make sure you store your scrub in an airtight container.
