simple scrubs
In Australia 🇦🇺 it is finally winter, which is great for lazy days and hot chocolate BUT in Winter due to the heaters being on, your skin does dry out heaps. Taking care of your skin throughout the cold months will help you with clear, glowing skin when it comes along to the Summer months. 
Here are 4 little body scrubs to use to help you reach that nice glow as well as keep your skin looking fresh throughout Winter.
1) salt and honey 🍯1/2 cup of sea salt 1/2 cup of honey 
{ blend together } this is a really simple and basic one that exfoliates as well as moisturises your skin. 
2) rose petal 🌹1 1/2 cups of brown sugar ( or white, your choice ) 1 cup coconut oil 1 tablespoon sweet almond or jojoba oil handful of rose petals 
{ mash all of it together and for a nicer feel crush up the roses into smaller pieces } i have used this one before and it's so nice and i end up smelling like roses for quite a while afterwards 
3) whipped grapefruit and mint 🍃<mint leaf1/2 cup coconut oil1/2 cup white sugar zest of 1 grapefruit 10 drops peppermint oil 25 drops grapefruit oil 
{ a. put the coconut oil and sugar in a blender and mix on a low speed until a paste is created. b. add the zest and oils then continue to mix until a whipped consistency is reached } this one is highly recommended for a nice fresh feel on the skin....also the fact there's no grapefruit emoji is quite disappointing.
4) sugar and almond oil 🍙 (pretend that's sugar ) 
1/2 cup of white sugar 3-4 tablespoons almond oil 
{ a. mix the two together until a coarse paste is made } 
Hope this helped a little bit and I can tell you I have used quite a few body scrubs and my skin is on the road to getting the natural glow I've always wanted. Just try these and you'll feel results
