Dull skin does not only happen to your face, in fact, in case you haven't noticed, your skin does not end at your chin and your body might also need an extra boost of glow. This is how to DIY your new favorite body scrub!
Dead skin cells, debris, and products buildup can contribute to making your body skin look dull, patchy, and unhappy. There are several ways to brighten your skin, you can try dry brushing or exfoliating bath gloves, but if you are fond of creating your own skincare, this skin-brightening body scrub could be your to-go method to shed some dead skin cells.
4-Ingredient DIY skin-brightening body scrub
This is an amazing recipe to start spring afresh, mandarines have a beautiful scent, they brighten our mood, and have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine. Add honey to the mix, and you've got a recipe to succeed!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cane sugar
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- The zest of one mandarine and the juice of half of it (you can eat the rest!)
Method:
- Combine all the ingredients in a clean jar and make sure to get a smooth paste.
- Allow the mixture to rest for 5 or 10 minutes before using it.
I love using the scrub when I'm having a bath, but you can apply it to your skin anytime as long as your skin is wet. Gently massage the scrub into your skin in circles, starting from your feet and arms and working your way up to your heart. Once you've finished, rinse it off, and enjoy bright, beautifully scented, and dewy skin.
