Homemade Exfoliator

I'm back!

I really want to get into blogging regularly again, so here it goes.

A few weeks ago I was trying to find\create a none oil scrub for my skin, just something simple and easy to whip together in seconds.  After searching the web I found basic none oil scrubs to use which I was so keen to try out, but I literally had none of the ingredients. So knowing the basic idea of what to use I improvised with the things I had in my kitchen and out came - The Cranberry Salt Scrub!

Cranberry Salt Scrub :

Ingredients 

 - 1 dessert spoon of Himalayan Crystal Salt 

(or just salt, but if you're like me and like the color in things and lean on the healthy side of life, using the Himalayan Salt would be lovely. It's full of the rich and raw minerals which is perfect for your body and has a light pink color to it, which makes the scrub more pink and sweet looking. You should be able to get it at your nearest health store)

- 1 Teaspoon of brown sugar 
(or just any sugar, but preferably brown sugar because its more coarse and healthier for you haah)

- 1 Tablespoon of fresh lemon juice

- 1 Teaspoon of used or raw Cranberry Apple and Cinnamon Tea Leaves
 (this ingredient is really what makes this scrub it brings out the deep pink color and radiates an amazing smell.  It's so easy to just make a cup of tea from it and before you throw the tea bag away, be sure to put it aside for the next time you make a scrub.You can find this amazing tea at WOOLWORTHS. -you obviously can use any tea leaves but this one is simply the best)

 Once you've got all the ingredients mix them together well

If you feel like you need more salt or sugar or if you feel like adding something of your own just do it, scrubs are so relaxed -feel free to experiment. I once added yogurt to this scrub it worked really well, it smelled like strawberry's and cream.

Gently rub the scrub into your skin avoiding the eye area. I recently found out that exfoliating your lips before applying lipstick or lip-gloss will give it a more defined and set apprentice  -it especially helps if you have dry-flaky lips..

Rinse it off with warm water and dry gently. Applying cream afterwards gives it a soothing touch. Lately I've been using Olive Oil Cream, I love it!  It doesn't have a harsh perfume-y smell - so simple and elegant and it was only R25, you can get at your nearest pharmacy.

So there is my Homemade scrub! I hope this helped you or inspired you. I would love to hear any feed back if you try it...

I would also be interested in what you would like to see\read on my blog? If you have something you would like me to blog about, leave a comment!

Have a wonderful day xx
