Winters or summers, a good body scrub is always our skin’s best friend. And how about having this friend in its most pure, natural and healthy form?
DIY 3 Ingredients Sugar Honey Scrub is made up of only 3 ingredients and is entire customizable. If you want to add or remove any ingredients to it, you can easily do so.
The scrub provides good exfoliation as it contains brown sugar granules. It is moisturizing in nature because it contains coconut oil and it adds glow to the skin and helps in proper cleansing because it contains honey as well.
I wanted to use this one precisely on body and face which is why I preferred the slightly coarse brown sugar granules. If you wish to use it only on face and want finer granules, you can grind the sugar.
Coconut oil is highly moisturizing and inexpensive. It is also suitable for all skin types. If you wish, you can replace coconut oil with any other oil like olive oil or sesame oil. But in my opinion, coconut oil is the best for skin.
Brown sugar that is slightly finer than the regular white sugar but since brown sugar is made directly from molasses, it is rich in glycolic acid and thus is better for exfoliation.
Honey, as is well known, is soothing in nature and also anti-bacterial and thus helps in proper cleansing of the skin and soothes the skin by relieving it of any kind of inflammation and rashes.

Brown sugar is jaggery or something else? Also where can I get original essential oils? Pls suggest
Hi Nisha, Brown sugar is not jaggery. You can find it online. Try searching Green Junction at ebay.in. I got mine from there only and I am very pleased with it. They also ship essential oils. Just tell them that you got their reference from Surabhi Surendra and the owner of the shop will take extra care of your order. 🙂
Thank you surabhi
