How to make honey scrub?

Are you tired of spending a fortune on skincare products that never seem to do the trick? Do you long for glowing, healthy skin but don’t want to subject yourself to harsh chemicals and artificial ingredients? Look no further! In this article, we’ll show you how to make a luxurious honey scrub at home using all-natural ingredients, so your skin can shine like the queen bee you are.

The Benefits of Using a Honey Scrub

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of making your own honey scrub, let’s take a moment to appreciate the many benefits it has for your skin.

  • Exfoliation: Regular use of an exfoliating scrub can help remove dead skin cells and unclog pores.
  • Moisturization: Honey is naturally hydrating and can help soothe dry, irritated skin.
  • Antimicrobial properties: Honey contains natural antibacterial components that can help fight acne-causing bacteria.
  • Anti-aging effects: The antioxidants in honey have been shown to combat damage from free radicals which can lead to premature aging.

So grab some raw honey from your local farmer’s market or health food store—it’s time to get sweet with our DIY honey scrub!

Ingredients You’ll Need

To make our honey scrub recipe at home, gather up these items:

  • Raw organic honey (Don’t go buying cheap things here; get quality delicious stuff)
  • Fine grain Himalayan pink salt
  • Organic coconut oil
  • Lemon essential oil (you could sniff strawberries too if lemon sounds boring)
  • Note: If you have sensitive skin or prefer not to use essential oils,# , simply omit this ingredient.

Make sure everything is within reach before embarking on your mission. Nobody wants an awkward scramble halfway through putting together their face mask because they forgot something!

Preparing the Ingredients

Now that you have all your ingredients in hand, let’s prep them for use.

Honey

The honey is the star of our scrub and will do most of the work. Raw organic honey contains antioxidants, minerals like iron and zinc, vitamins B6 and C, riboflavin—need I say more? Besides making this super yummy DIY product, there are many different uses for raw honey as well!

Make sure your honey has solidified; it shouldn’t be a sticky liquid. If it is not firm enough or if there’s crystallization at its bottom, place it in a bowl with hot water until softened to desired consistency (about 5-10 minutes).

Pro tip:\ Always check whether crystals appear at raw honey’s base: This indicates quality and purity. The smaller the crystal size here—the better! Also look for an amber color since darker hues mean higher mineral content (and we can surely never get enough minerals).

Pink Himalayan Salt

Himalayan pink salt is an excellent natural exfoliant that helps remove dead skin cells without being too harsh on sensitive areas around eyes or lips—besides who doesn’t love pink?! Be cautious when using any type of scrubs containing salt: over-application could potentially leave redness or itchiness especially if you have thin/sensitive skin in such an area.Use only small amounts under gentle stimulation.

Fun fact: this particular ingredient looks amazing when lit by colored lights due to trace minerals present which give a soft glow (almost like diamonds!).

Ensure only fine-grain Himalayan salt (#minus18+)is selected because larger beads may scratch instead of providing gentle exfoliation.

Organic Coconut Oil

Coconut oil has natural moisturizing properties used regularly as part of beauty regimen involving hair conditioning mostly due to presence medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) which provide nourishment upon absorption into various cellular layers. It also tastes fantastic, is healthy for you, and it an absolute beauty booster—hooray!

You’ll want to liquefy this oil before mixing other ingredients; simply place coconut oil jar into microwave – or a warm bath– until melted.

Pro tip:\ Coconut Oil can be oily like your favourite dance nosdsong; do not apply too much of it in one go since our skin cannot absorb more than required at any given time. Too much might cause weeping pores!!

Lemon Essential Oil

Last but not least, lemon essential oil will give our scrub that natural freshness which fights off bacteria by providing antimicrobial effects plus uplifting citrus scent.
Other oils could be used as well such as peppermint or lavender (check with caution to ensure no allergic reactions).

Putting It All Together

Now that all ingredients are ready in their respective containers/jars/god knows-what comes next:
1. Carefully measure out two tablespoons of pink Himalayan salt and pour into the bowl of organic coconut oil.

  1. Add three heaping tablespoons of raw honey & mix thoroughly.

  2. Lastly: add anywhere from five to ten drops (depending on personal preference) of your chosen essential oil.

Mix again until all chemicals combine together making a runny paste (#Be careful while trying to smell contents—it’s tempting but dangerous).

CHALLENGE ROUND: try & resist! If mixture becomes too dense: Please insert 1 additional tablespoonfuls worth coconut wax instead (hint: You ~~will~~ would thank me later).

How To Apply

Now that we have the perfect honey scrub, let’s talk about how to use it effectively:

  1. Begin by wetting your face with warm water to open up your pores preventing harsh/stinging sensation when using scrub

2.Carefully scoop out half a teaspoon amounting onto palms.Then rub hands together vigorously forming lather .

  1. Gently massage the scrub onto your face, avoiding the delicate skin around your eyes.

  2. Rinse off, again using warm water to help wash away any impurities left on skin surface.

  3. Lastly: pat face softly with clean towel ensuring evaporation & air-drying effect ensuing for that healthy fresh glow!
