With summer just around the corner most of us are making
sure to visit that place called the gym, watching what we eat, and preparing our
skin for the bare style of shorts, swimsuits, and sandals. I’m a big fan of
anything that brings life and that “healthy glow” to my skin in the summer; it pretty
much resembles Gollum after hiding behind clothes all winter.
Sorry, moving on. Two of my go-to products to help with this
are body scrubs, and Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer. Exfoliation is so important in our humid summers when lotion, sunscreen, and sweat build up. It also makes spray tans and tinted moisturizer set with an even tone and last longer. So, in the spirit of summer skin, I thought I would share a little D.I.Y. on body scrubs.
This weekend my sweet sister, Madalyn, brought us two different versions she made which are divine. One is more coarse and should be used on feet, stomach, legs, arms, and elbows. The other is more gentle and can be used on the face, chest, and arms. Both are easy to make and modify to fit your preference on fragrance and oils.
