recipe for non-toxic - highly effective - body scrub
As promised.....
Body Scrub Recipe
from Whole Beauty News
You need just 4 Ingredients:
1. Raw honey
2. Light olive oil
3. Raw sugar
4. Citrus zest (grated peel)
Mix 1 teaspoon of honey into 1/4 cup light olive oil. Add 1 cup of raw or granulated sugar. Mix in 2 tsp fresh citrus zest. Rub into your skin and rinse...Enjoy!
Honey is one of nature's best moisturizers that draws water into the skin. Sugar buffs away dead cells gently, dissolving as it works.
A touch of citrus offers an invigorating scent.
In Kinnelon, we're all NJ Highlanders, living on a watershed...
