You will need:Coconut oil, Sugar, Honey, Cinnamon, Almond oil (optional) and any small pot.
The amount you'll use depends on the size of your pot but this is roughly the amounts I used, It's a nice amount to trial and then if you're happy you can make more or adjust the recipe according to your preferences. I took a tablespoon of sugar and coconut oil and mixed. Then added half a tablespoon of honey and a very small pinch of cinnamon and continued mixing until it was all well mixed together. If you wish to loosen the mixture a little more, add some almond oil as I did.
I try to use this scrub twice a week. To begin with, I wanted a scrub using any household ingredients and for flavouring the only thing I could think of was cinnamon. After having added the cinnamon I remembered watching Huda Beauty's clip here of how to plump your lips using cinnamon extract. Since I was using powdered cinnamon I didn't think it would do much in that sense however I felt slight tingling on my lips. Luckily, because of the small amount I had used it didn't really affect the size of my lips and the tingling fades pretty fast when I wash off the scrub anyway. I know people like to lick it off but I don't like the idea of possibly licking off dead skin as well.
I hope you liked this post. I look forward to doing another similar one, this time, probably of an alcohol-free Rose or Vanilla scented Body Scrub x
