DIY intensive & super cheap exfoliator.

 I sure wish I'd have remembered to get a photo of my finished product, it was lovely, but I forgot! I used a pretty glass jar (with a lid of course) and printed out my own label for the front that said "made by your sister with tons of love and natural ingredients". Hee-hee.

As you may have guessed, this was a body/face scrub I made as a gift for my sister's birthday. I've used this scrub myself for many years and have even told you over a year ago how to do it yourself. I thought I'd update you though. 

This is absolutely the best exfoliator I've ever used! You read me saying "cornmeal is the best thing for exfoliation" all the time. Now you know that I do practice what I preach! I'll give you a brief little DIY and if you have questions, simply message me. I like to try and keep these simple & short.

INGREDIENTS YOU'LL NEED:
 *add as much as you like, mixture ratio depends on the amount you desire to make*


-Cornmeal
-Coffee
-8 Tablespoons lemon juice

-Aloe vera gel, preferrably straight from the plant, but if you have the ol' sunburn gel, it will suffice.

-Vitamin E (capsule form will work, simply punch a hole with a tack or needle and squeeze into jar)

- Brown sugar. I filled my large jar with one part cornmeal, one part brown sugar and one part regular sugar.

-Tea tree oil & a crushed multi-vitamin (both optional)

-Fragrance (optional)

-And any healing essential oil you already prefer using. I added a teaspoon of pure antioxidants.

-Green or Black tea (you can use the grains straight from a small tea bag.)

-3 tablespoons honey. 

As you see, I used a mixing cup to mix things. The goal is not to blend, but to mix. After filling the large jar with my entire mixture, I added about an inch of water since the mixture is already so thick. 

Dump contents into the jar of your choice and then tightly put the cap on and shake. If things are left uneven, stick a straw into the jar and mix. 

Print out a label of your choice and punch a hole in the paper to thread some hemp or ribbon through, then tie it around the jar's neck in a bow. It looks beautiful once finished and is a gift everybody in my family loves! My sister has thoroughly enjoyed hers. 

This is a pretty intense exfoliator. If it's too harsh, limit the cornmeal and sugar and add more water. I like it harsh though as it works wonders on dry, cracked feet & elbows. It'll definitely leave your skin pink and clean! 

Oh how I wish I'd have gotten a photo of the finished product. It looked so nice guys! :( I hope you'll try this. If you do, tell me how it goes. Or do you already make your own scrubs? I'd love to hear about them!

Questions can be sent to my email. I'll answer quickly for you, my loves.



Much love,
Kendra
