Thrift Thursdays - Make Your Own Sugar Scrub




Recently i've started making my own face exfoliaters.
I like to know exactly what i'm putting on my face, &
i'm super lazy & don't read any ingredients labels,
let alone know what they mean.
SO, since we have a lemon tree, i've taken to making this myself.
This is the one I use in the morning (usually).
I've actually found it's even out my skin tone a LOT, & it tastes good to boot.

Ingredients:
1/2 fresh lemon (juiced)
1/2 cup of sugar (caster is best) or brown
1 tbls of olive oil
1 tbls of manuka honey (optional)
1 medium sized tupperware bowl with lid (mine's one of the sistema ones)

- Juice the lemon (sometimes I use more than this, depends on each lemon),
and mix as much as you can with the olive oil.
Whisk in the sugar & wallah! you are done.
I use it everyday on my face. You can use it all over if you want to,
But I use a homemade vanilla mix for that. Recipe coming soon.

Everyday ingredients that save me money & are better for my skin.
Yes please!
Enjoy
(p.s, when I get lazy / after a night out
I just chuck some sugar on a sliced lemon & scrub that on my face, works a treat
but you have to moisturise a lot after as there is not olive oil to moisturise.)
