I wanted to bring you a quick, cheap & very simple tutorial. I'm going to show you how to make a homemade hand scrub. It's perfect for rough or dry hands & feet, that'll leave them gorgeously soft and smooth!

Homemade Hand Scrub

This hand scrub couldn't be simpler to make, with just two ingredients, no heating, boiling, just mixing two very basic store cupboard ingredients together!

This gorgeous scrub is helps protect your skin's natural moisture barrier, gently exfoliates and softens without being oily or greasy.

Sugar

Sugar draws in moisture and therefore will help retain moisture on the skin. Plus sugar is a wonderful, gentle exfoliant, buffing away dead skin cells and pollutants for a plump, fresh look. Sugar can help brighten tired skin and fight signs of aging! It's really an amazing ingredient for your skin!

Honey

Honey has natural moisturising properties, another fantastic ingredient for homemade body products. Once applied to the skin, it will deeply penetrate and hydrate your skin. Honey also brightens and tightens your skin, providing a gorgeous, fresh glow. Honey can also calm and soothe skin conditions such as eczema. (Patch test first though).

How To Make Homemade Hand Scrub

This hand scrub will only take you a minute to make, this recipe makes enough for a small jar full - but you could absolutely make a larger batch and it'll keep for up to a month.

You will need;

* 4-6 tablespoons of granulated white sugar

* 2 tablespoons honey

1. Mix the sugar and honey together in a bowl to make a paste. (Top tip - If you heat up the end of the spoon using hot water, it'll make it so much easier to get the honey off the spoon!)

2. Scoop the mixture into a cute jar and you're done!

To use the mixture just scoop less than a palm sized amount of scrub and rub it into your hands and feet whenever they feel a bit dry. Once you've rubbed it well into your skin, just wash it off and apply some moisturiser.

Try not to scrub too aggressively, gently massage it into your skin, over each finger on the top of your hands and your palms too. 

It's as easy as that! I'd love to know if you try it. I know you'll be impressed by the results!
