Although this winter weather has been milder than usual this year, my skin still knows it's winter. I used to buy all kinds of expensive exfoliating body scrubs and lotions, but I've moved to making my own homemade beauty products that do the trick and smell great to boot! Plus, I know exactly's what in them!
If your skin is feeling the effects of winter, I encourage you to whip up a jar of Winter Bliss Exfoliating Body Scrub! This recipe has sea salt to exfoliate dry winter skin, almond oil to moisturize, apple cider vinegar to kill bacteria and help prevent breakouts, tea tree oil to relieve inflammation and lavender to soothe the skin and help it retain its moisture. Your skin will thank you!!!
