Why exfoliate?
In a scrub there are small granules with which you can remove dead skin cells. Perfect for boosting dull skin.

The advantage of a homemade scrub
You can easily make a scrub with ingredients from your kitchen cupboard. It's easy and inexpensive. You can use sugar or salt as a scrub grain. The granules dissolve slowly in the water, so you can be sure that you are not scrubbing too hard with granules that are too coarse.

How to make a scrub
Mix 2 teaspoons of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of almond oil and half a cup of cane sugar. You can then add a few drops of essential oil for a nice scent. Pour your scrub into a jar with an airtight lid. That way you can keep your scrub for another two weeks.

Tips
– If you want coarser scrub granules, use salt instead of sugar.
– Short on time? Add some sugar or salt to your body lotion or shower gel and you have a nourishing scrub.
– At the beach, you can exfoliate yourself with a handful of sand.
