Let's Talk Skin: Raw Honey and Brown Sugar Scrub

Oooo la la..this is going to be a royal treat for your skin. The Raw Honey and Brown Sugar Scrub. Not only is it a tasty facial scrub for your face, it is excellent to use on your lips and those rough areas on your body, such as elbows, knees and feet. For a wonderful scrub that you can use once or twice per week, here is all that you need to do:

Honey and Brown Sugar Facial Scrub:

What You'll Need:
  • Raw honey: The use of raw honey gently exfoliates the skin and stimulates circulation without causing irritation and dryness. Raw honey is a humectant which has the quality of attracting and retaining moisture, so it balances the skin moisture to give a soft glowing complexion. Another one of the amazing raw honey benefits for skin is its protection against sunburns.
  • Brown Sugar: Exfoliating the skin with a brown sugar scrub cleans and tightens pores giving the skin a more even uniform appearance; pores look smaller, skin tone more even. It can also diminish the damage to the skin caused by acne and other skin conditions.Using a brown sugar scrub improves your skin's ability to retain its natural moisture balance.
  • Essential Oil (optional)..I add 2 drops of tea tree oil
  • Wash Cloth
Directions:

  • Mix 1 TBSP Raw Honey to 1 TBSP of Brown Sugar. Add 2 drops of an essential oil geared towards acne control (peppermint, tea tree, rosemary). Apply the mixture to a clean face in upward circular motions for 3-5 minutes. Take your damp warm wash cloth and gently wipe the mixture off of your face. Repeat until the scrub is completely removed. Follow with a cool water rinse. Tone. Moisturize.
Oh my Goodness, your face is going to faithfully thank you for this one. Your skin is going to feel extremely smooth as the facial removes excess oil and dead skin cells through exfoliation. We all can agree that acne is the 'devil' so this scrub works overtime to keep the enemy at bay. And really, who doesn't want healthy, smooth, hydrated skin?

I try to do this facial scrub at least two times per week. I have combination acne prone skin, so taking care of my skin is an absolute priority in keeping my little acne enemies on lock down. And I must say, this scrub has worked wonders. Give it a try before you spend your money on chemical peels, commercial facial scrubs, etc. And many of the ingredients are right in your kitchen cabinet. Also, use it in the shower as a body scrub, your body will thank you for it.

The Results:


Where to buy: any health food store or local grocery. Farmer's market (be sure to buy 100% raw honey, or purchase from your local bee farmer.)

Happy Health

  1. Ok..I used this scrub the other night, and I must say, it is absolutely amazing! My skin felt soooo smooth. I followed your directions to a tea and I am loving the results. I have oily acne prone skin and I have become a skin care product junky, so it's nice to see that I can use something that's 100% natural and great for my skin..

  3. I’ve recently been introduced to raw honey and love this stuff. I take a tablespoon a day and use it in other things like lemonade. Plus, raw honey tastes SO MUCH BETTER than processed honey.

  4. @ Sasha..glad you enjoyed it

    @ Mad about my fro..the salt and olive oil sounds great as well. Do you use sea salt, or what type of salt do you use? Oh yes, the honey and brown sugar is delicious!! I add a few drops of lemon to combat dark spots (hyperpigmentation)

    @ Raw Honey...I totally agree, I can't eat processed honey anymore...great stuff!

  5. For hair I found that blending a mixture of organic honey, olive oil and castille soap makes your hair super soft and shiny. It's also a great conditioner, but be sure to rinse your hair thoroughly before leaving the house. An organic goats milk and honey bath is also a good way to achieve very soft moisturized skin.

My skin is very funny. It's sometimes really dry and sometimes really oily. Keeping my skin looking good is a priority so i love this remedy.
