Homemade Body Scrubs

There's nothing like the softness, smoothness and freshness of your skin after an exfoliating, rejuvenating scrub.

Instead of shelling out big bucks on expensive chemical-laced commercial scrubs however, why not try the recipe for a homemade scrub below using only natural ingredients.

You will need:

• A jar or container
• Rice (1 cup)
• Tumeric (2 tablespoons full)
• Olive oil/Coconut oil (1/2 cup)
• Essential oil, such as lavender (3-5 drops)

Depending on the size of the container, measure out a suitable amount of rice and grind it in a food processor until it achieves a soft, powdery consistency.

Remove from the food processor and place in a mixing bowl. Add in the turmeric and stir in gently until well mixed.

Pour the mixture into the jar. Store the ingredients dry until use.

Before use, measure out a small amount of the mixture, add olive oil and a drop of your favourite essential oil and mix.

Apply the resulting mixture to your skin and scrub! You'll feel wonderful, naturally!
