Thursday Beauty: Brown Sugar Scrub

It's been awhile since I've done a Thursday Beauty post so I thought because I recently tried this DIY Brown Sugar Scrub, I'd share it with my readers or just keep the recipe handy for myself when I run out. I found this scrub while I was looking for something to stop my feet from cracking because they had been so dry since it's so cold in Seattle these last few weeks.

All you need is two ingredients; 1 cup of Brown Sugar and 1/4 cup of Coconut Oil.

Brown sugar is a great exfoliate, not only is it cheap but it's gentler and softer than a salt scrub. I realized that as I was showering that the brown sugar didn't feel as hard as when I would use sea salt to exfoliate.
Coconut Oil is also great to keep your skin moisturized. It's actually better than your lotion. It's natural and keeps a deep moisture on your skin. It also helps to remove dead skin cells. So the combination of brown sugar and coconut oil is an ideal one.

The other day, after showing and using the scrub, I noticed my skin smelled brown sugary sweet. It wasn't a big whiff of a scent, it's barely noticeable but it does make you smell really sweet. Talk about being made out of sugar and spice.

The brown sugar scrub could last you awhile as it is good for three months. Perfect for the winter season!

Be Beautiful For You.
