3 DIY Body Scrub Recipes For Smooth And Radiant Skin
If you’re looking for homemade body scrub recipes, you’re in the right place!
I’ve written some of the best and most creative DIY body scrub recipes, and I’ve compiled a list of my absolute favorites.
Not to mention, these make the perfect gifts for girlfriends, friends and family too! Exfoliate, hydrate, and tighten. You name it and there is a DIY body scrub that you can use to have super smooth skin.
In about 35 seconds you’re going to wonder why you ever bought a body scrub from the store!
Skin care products are pricey and with a few questionable ingredients on the label, it can be hard to make the purchase.
Alternatively, you can just wander over to your kitchen pantry and with only a few natural ingredients. Plus, if you use ingredients that you find in your own kitchen, like baking soda, lemon juice, and sea salt, you’ll know you are keeping your skin healthy.
Not only that, but a homemade scrub recipe allows you to mix up as much or little as you need for a fraction of the price.
Also, you can make a wide range of scrubs from exfoliating leg scrubs to homemade body scrubs to combat different beauty concerns.
