Dry Skin Sugar Scrub

My husband has very dry skin in the winter. So, I needed to find a good remedy to help him out. This is what I came up with, and it works really well! It works so well, in fact, that I am putting it in jars and giving it as gifts.

Ingredients:

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 Tbsp honey

1/2 cup sugar

1/8 tsp lemon juice

Directions:

Mix the sugar, extra virgin olive oil, honey, and lemon juice together in a bowl.

Spoon mixture into a small canning jar. 

Wipe off any mixture from the outside of the jar and screw the lid on.

If you are giving this as a gift use:

1/4 inch ribbon (you can get this from Walmart for less than $1.00)

A small card that you can print from your home printer

Hole puncher (I used a heart shapped one)

Scissors

I printed a square shaped card onto card stock.

Cut the card out

Cut enough ribbon to wrap around the neck of your jar and then still have enough to tie a knot and then a bow.

Punch a hole in the left upper corner or your card.

Put the ribbon through the hole of your card and then tie the card onto the jar.

Tie a knot, and then a bow.

My card is a little on the large side because I used such a small jar. You can either use a smaller card, or double or triple the recipe to use a larger jar. 

The usage directions are as follows:

If using for face:

Wash face with your regular face wash. Pat dry.

Make sure you do not have any make up on your skin.

Stir up your sugar scrub with your finger, and then apply a small amount to your face.

Scrub in a broad circular motion for about 60 seconds.

Rinse off.

Pat dry.

This mixture is very moisturizing, however, you may proceed with your normal moisturizing routine when you are finished.

*Do not use more than once per week!*

If using on other areas of your body for dry skin:

Stir up your sugar scrub with your finger, and then apply to dry skin area.

Scrub in broad circular motions for about 60 seconds.

Rinse off.

Pat dry.

This mixture is very moisturizing.

If you would like, you may apply lotion when you are finished.

*Do not use more than twice per week!*
