Maintaining a beautiful and radiant skin does not have to always cost a fortune. Natural homemade scrubs are great exfoliators that will keep your skin healthy and fresh.
Here’s how to make your own scrubs with simple household items;
Honey and brown sugar
Natural honey serves as a great moisturizer, especially for dry skin. Combining it with brown sugar gives you a gentle organic scrub that will rid your skin of dead skin, free your pores and leave you glowing.
Mix two tablespoons of honey and sugar in a jar, then apply on your face in a circular motion. You may wash it off with lukewarm water after five minutes.

To make this scrub, blend your oats and ensure it doesn’t get too powdery. Add some coconut oil to form a thick paste, then your homemade scrub is ready.
Coffee and olive oil
Here’s another item in your kitchen that made it to the list of your homemade scrubs. For single use, add a tablespoon of olive oil and blended coffee to make this homemade scrub.
Rice, honey and lemon
