With December finally here and everyone battling dry, itchy,
winter skin we know that spa visits are going to be at an all-time high. While
there is nothing better than a day spent pampering yourself, we’re suggesting
that you bring the spa home and try some of these sweet sugar scrubs. They take
less than five minutes to make and we’re sure they’ll help you get through this
nippy weather without worrying about scaly skin.
Coffee and sugar
scrub
You will need
¼ cup ground coffee
¼ cup ground sugar
2 tablespoons of virgin olive oil
4 capsules of Vitamin E
Mix all the ingredients together, use the scrub all over
your body and rinse off during your shower.
Benefits
Ground coffee is known to battle cellulite and reduce
stretch marks (over time.) Sugar makes for an excellent exfoliant to get rid of
dead skin cells while the olive oil and vitamin E capsules nourish and repair
the skin tissues and keep them taut and young.
Green tea, ginger and
sugar scrub
You will need
1 cup of green tea
2 cups of granulated sugar
3 tablespoons of freshly grated ginger
Mix all the ingredients together, use the scrub all over
your body and rinse off during your shower.
Green tea is a powerhouse of antioxidants, which work
against free radicals to repair damaged skin and slow down the clock on
premature ageing. Ginger, on the other hand, helps rid the skin of accumulated
toxins and increases the blood circulation, giving your skin a natural flush.
The sugar acts as a binding agent as well as helps to exfoliate the skin.
