Grapefruit
Sugar Scrub by JENI KLING
I love using exfoliating scrubs for the spa-like experience and the smooth skin that follows. Storebought exfoliants often include an overwhelming (and unfamiliar) list of ingredients though. Rather than spend money on a questionable product, I spent some time researching how to make my own. After learning that in addition to being an exfoliant, sugar is also a natural moisturizer, I realized just how simple it is to make a great natural scrub at home. There are plenty of natural scents to choose from when making your own scrub. I love the fresh scent of grapefruit and knew that it would be the perfect addition to my mornings. Combined with coconut oil, this simple scrub feels like a luxury and leaves my skin silky soft.

Chamomile is known for its anti-allergenic properties, eases the itching of eczema, and reduces skin inflammation. The fine texture of sugar aids exfoliation to deeply cleanse your skin, making it soft, healthy, and radiant. There are so many reasons to love this sugar scrub! All these wonderful ingredients come together to regenerate your skin tissue, leaving it soft, supple, and glowing … and it smells amazing.
