Simple Sugar Scrub

This super simple facial scrub is great when you are in a hurry. All you need is some olive oil and sugar. This recipe is also great if your skin is sensitive to chemicals or other additives. Mix one tablespoon of coconut or olive oil with two tablespoons of sugar. Epson salt also works great but be careful not to get any in your eyes! Mix the ingredients thoroughly and voila! When applying, make sure to do so in circular motions to clean skin. Afterwards, rinse off with warm water.

Blueberry And Honey Scrub

Blueberries have one of the highest antioxidant counts of any food. So in addition to eating them daily, use them externally on your skin to soothe away aging lines and sun spots. Combine one-half cup of fresh blueberries, two tablespoons of raw organic honey and one to two tablespoons of sugar in a blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Wash your face with warm water and you are ready to try out your blueberry and honey facial scrub. Remember to rinse all of the scrub off of your face with warm water after exfoliating.
