3X DIY SCRUBS
Hey hello, cuties. Are you also so happy with this bonus day? I find such a day ideal for things I normally don't get around to. And I'm not talking about my neglected paperwork or that mountain of laundry that is winking at me, no, on a day like today I make time for me, myself and I. It starts with some nice music in the background, candles lit, curtains closed, a steaming cup of coffee in one hand, the leftover scone from yesterday in the other, and just pampering myself. Especially for you, girlfriend, these DIY nourishing scrubs so we can start a new week with a silky soft peach skin.
FACE SCRUB
This fruity sugar scrub minimizes your pores and has an exfoliating effect that gives you a beautiful, smooth, and even skin. The three ingredients each have their own effect.
Lemon = a vitamin C bomb that removes excess oil from oily skin. Lemon helps to reduce enlarged pores and gives the skin an even complexion.
Sugar = a source of glycolic acid and gives your skin a natural peel. It evens out the skin, cleanses the pores, and removes dead skin cells.
Honey = a natural source of antioxidants making it a perfect ingredient for preventing skin aging. Additionally, honey has antibacterial properties, which helps reduce pimples and impurities.
For one scrub session
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar (cane sugar)
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Mix all the ingredients and apply the scrub to the skin. Make circular massaging movements and rinse off with lukewarm water.
FOOT SCRUB
Are your little feet ready for spring? Then you can pamper them weekly with this scrub. Saves you a trip to the pedicure. The pure green tea in the scrub works refreshing and soothing on the skin. The salt ensures that dead skin cells are removed and at the same time has a relaxing effect.
– a handful of coarse sea salt
– the contents of a green tea bag
– a small splash of oil or bath oil
Take the sea salt and mix it with the contents of the tea bag. Add a small splash of oil or a nice bath oil and stir the ingredients together. Fill a foot bath with warm water. Massage your feet one by one with the scrub and then place them back in the warm water.
BODY SCRUB
You make this DIY coconut & lime body scrub with just three ingredients and it takes you to a tropical island for a moment. The sugar scrubs away your dull dead skin cells, while the coconut oil softens and hydrates your skin. Bring on the skirt day!

– the zest of 2 limes
– the juice of 1 lime
