At this time of year with all the sun, sweat, and sand it's more important than ever to take great care of your skin - and to have healthy, soft feeling skin as well! Today I'm going to share two easy things you can do to help cleanse, soften, and tone your skin with no hassle and no super expensive products, either!
Dry Brushing
Using a dry brush is one of the most popular ways to detox the skin, cleanse the pores, and soften the skin as well. People are using dry brushes all over their bodies to increase circulation, push out toxin buildup, and gently brush away dead skin cells that cause dull, lifeless looking skin.
In order to dry brush properly, you must use the right brush. Choose a brush made specifically for dry brushing the skin and follow the manufacturer's instructions for best results.
Dry brushing should be followed up with a shower or hydrating facial wash to help moisturize and soothe the skin.
Exfoliate
Using an exfoliating scrub is another great way to remove dead skin cells, clear away embedded dirt and toxins, and bring more blood flow to the surface of your skin.
You can purchase exfoliating scrubs from your favorite skin care supply companies or make your own at home. Either way, make sure that you only put the best ingredients on your skin - it's the largest and one of the most important organs you have!
Here's a super easy exfoliating scrub you can make at home...
1 cup Small Grain Sugar
1/4 cup Organic Coconut Oil, warmed to liquid state
1 Tbs. Local Organic Honey
Combine all ingredients well in a canning jar with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Use a small amount and very gently massage the scrub in small circles on your face. Rinse off when done.
