The Magical Unicorn shares a DIY scrub recipe to keep your skin safe this summer
SAN ANTONIO – Summer is here and that means scorching heat and a whole lot of sun exposure. Amanda Hardman, of the Magical Unicorn, shares a DIY face and body scrub recipe that will help protect your skin all summer long.
DIY Face & Body Scrub
Ingredients:
1 cup raw sugar -- Regular sugar or any other exfoliating agent found at home will work as well.
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/3 cup avocado oil
1/4 cup jojoba oil
Directions:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine raw sugar, coconut oil, avocado oil, and jojoba oil. For an extra fresh or fruity smell, place a couple of drops of your favorite essential oils into the mixture. Use drops sparingly! Using an electric hand whisk or blender, blend the ingredients at the lowest speed so the contents remain in the bowl and don't splash onto your kitchen counter.
Finishing steps:
After the ingredients are blended, use your fingers to apply a small amount of the scrub to your nose and T-zone. Your skin will feel like a baby's bottom in no time!
About the ingredients:
Raw sugar removes dry and dead skin, coconut oil hydrates your skin and avocado oil is packed with vitamin E to help protect your skin from the sun. Jojoba oil is unique in that it contains a variety of vitamins that help protect your skin from ultraviolet rays and heal your skin from sunburns.
Hardman recommends sweet orange and lemon essential oil for a great-smelling scrub packed with nutrients for the skin. Orange oil contains anti-aging properties and lemon oil contains enzymes that help exfoliate dead skin cells, remove build-up and increase elasticity. Additionally, both oils help to brighten and tone the skin.
