I
remember as a child touching or holding my Grandma´s hands and feeling her soft
skin on mine. She had the tightest grip, but the softest skin. My mom would
always tell me Grandma had the prettiest hands because every night she would
scrub them with sugar and lemon.
I
was recently thinking about Grandma’s natural beauty scrub because last Sunday
I shook someone’s hand and she was appalled by my hands feeling so rough LOL.
Apparently, she thought my hands were in a terrible state because she took a
hand cream from her purse and gave it to me as a gift. I thought it was
hilarious.
Anyway,
thanks to this lovely observation, I’m now writing a beauty post inspired by my
lovely hand incident and my Grandma’s beauty secret, there are two more
ingredients in this recipe, but they make it that much better. I’m sure you
will love it as much as I do! My hands are definitely feeling much softer! I
will be sure to shake that lady’s hand again next Sunday and see what she
thinks now haha.
INGREDIENTS:
·
1 CUP GRANULATED SUGAR
·
2 TBSP HONEY
·
2 TBSP ORGANIC COCONUT OIL
·
1 LEMON
ADD COCONUT OIL TO SUGAR
Sugar is great for a facial because
it exfoliates the skin and coconut oil has so many properties; I’m in love with
it! In this case it will work as a great moisturizer.
ADD THE HONEY
Honey
has natural antibiotic properties and leaves skin noticeably softer and
moister.
ADD THE LEMON JUICE
Lemon
refreshes the skin, clears and prevents acne and lightens and evens out skin.
MIX IT ALL TOGETHER AND VOILĂ: QUICK AND EASY BEAUTY SCRUB!
APPLY
TO HANDS, FEET, FACE, WHEREVER! I DID A FACIAL AND LEFT IT ON ABOUT TEN MINUTES
AND MY SKIN FELT SOOO GOOD. REMEMBER TO RINSE WELL SO YOUR SKIN WON’T BE STICKY
LATER. I GUARANTEE YOU WILL LOVE THE SOFT GLOWING LOOK AFTERWARDS ;)
With
lots of love and yours truly,
Samantha
