Honey’s Skin-Soothing Benefits
Believe it or not, honey has some amazing moisturizing properties! It deeply hydrates the skin, leading to less fine lines and wrinkles. It also gently exfoliates, removing clogged pores and surface dirt.
But that’s not all! Honey can help relieve sunburn, encourage cell turnover, and treat acne and breakouts. Honey has been used as a skincare ingredient for centuries, so it is a tried and true ingredient for a homemade scrub.
How to Use a Scrub
Use your homemade scrub as you would any other body scrub. Simply take a tablespoon or two and rub over the area you’d like to exfoliate. Use on arms, legs, hands, and feet.
Once you have begun to rub the scrub into the designated area, use gentle circles. Do not rub too hard, as this can cause redness and irritation. Be gentle and your scrub will be gentle back at you!
