Seeing as those Wintery months are upon us in Australia, Dry skin is also a factor!
This is a delicious, fail safe method to getting rid of that dry skin, creating beautiful, soft skin!
You will need:
Table Salt (fine)
Honey
Manuka Honey
Sugar
1x plastic bowl
1x spoon
1x shower
How to make your scrub:
Remove all rings, as this scrub is abrasive and could scratch your jewels.
Get the plastic container (don't use one that can smash in the bathroom).
Put 3x teaspoon fulls of sugar in the container.
Put about 3/4 to 1 full cup of table salt in the container (use more for a coarser scrub)
Add about 5 tablespoons of honey to the salt/sugar mix.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of Manuka Honey to the mixture (use no less than +5 quality. the higher the + the better for you!).
Mix all the ingredients together to form a paste.
put the container in the shower area (so you can reach it when you're in the shower).
Applying the scrub:
After you get in the shower and have damp skin, take enough scrub into your hand to fill 1/2 a fist.
Rub it between two hands, briefly, to warm the mixture up.
Apply to body (probably best to avoid the delicate bits).
Wash off!
You will probably find that the granules of salt and sugar will disappear the warmer and wetter you are, as you rub it into your skin. this is normal.
Don't worry about getting it in your mouth, as you would probably eat these ingredients anyway.
Make sure you don't leave any on the floor of the shower as it can get slippery.
The scrub is gentle enough to use on your face too.
Enjoy!
Cheerfully,

I have studied beauty therapy and would not use this on your face. It is too abrasive. Great for the body though!
I’m also a beauty therapist, this works a treat, feels awesome and smells delish!
Looks great!! (:
This sounds lovely! x
I can’t resist using beautiful products everyday if I have them at my fingertips in my bathroom – I am definitely not one to save them for a special day. This product sounds like a little luxury we could all enjoy.
DIY scrubs is a great way to prepare the right consistency you desire! Love the benefits of Manuka Honey!
Cannot wait to try this.
This sounds great
My hubby and I really love salt/ sugar scrubs in the shower. Does this recipe leave you moisturizer after application? The ones I have used tend to have oils as well…
i have really dry skin, so i always use a moisturiser after any sort of bath/shower or my skin feels dry.
i figure, as you wash the product off, that you should probably at least apply a light moisturier, especially at night.
Thank you so much! I’ll save a fortune on scrubs!
Wonderful, I was looking for something new-Thanks
Made this and loved it! Was so curious to feel the honey…would it be sticky? Felt great and smelt delicious.
I love the way you’ve given tips on what containers to use etc as well as a great body scrub recipe – thank you! I am usually pretty cluey in general but I appreciate the advice about not spilling any on the floor etc
Hmmm, so edible hey? I wonder if I could recruit a shower helper when I use this scrub?
I like this idea- natural and easy and almost yum!!! Might try as my skin has gotten a little dry and scaly this winter!
Thanks. Easy, simple, natural.
Just loving these DIY beauty recipes.
