Feeling Chapped?

Summertime is a time for us to reconnect with nature. We spend 99.9% of our time outside in the summer months enjoying the beautiful weather...
---We bake in the sun.
---Swim in the lakes and pools.
 ---Maybe work up some sweat after a long run?
Something all those things have in common is that it can cause irritation to our skin....
--Chapped lips...?
---Peeling skin....?
---Dry skin....?
No one likes dealing with any of those BUT it happens to us all!
I am here to tell you, THERE IS A SOLUTION TO THIS MADNESS.....with this homemade remedy containing ingredients you already have in your kitchen which makes your "beauty budget" less scarce.

BROWN SUGAR SCRUB
(Brown sugar is one of the best natural exfoliants that work for all types of skin.)

Ingredients:
* 1 tablespoon brown sugar
*1 tsp ( more or less ) of olive oil or coconut oil

Preparation:
Put the brown sugar in  your palm. Add the olive or coconut oil. Stir the ingredients in your palm with your finger creating a thick paste consistency. Massage (gently) onto face in circular motion. Rinse off with warm water. Press a warm washcloth onto face. Apply your desired moisturizer.

This recipe is also wonderful for chapped lips..... go thru the same preparation except instead of applying to the face, apply directly onto the lips. ENJOY!
