Pampering your body with this shower ritual every now and then is so beneficial. Especially in the cooler months.
Did you know that your skin is your largest organ and is VERY good at absorbing what is put on it straight into your blood stream? So best make it only natural products, edible even… and what could be more natural than a product, made at home from ingredients you can find in your pantry?
Not only does your skin feel refreshed and smooth, there are many physiological benefits as well, including boosting circulation, detoxification and renewal of skin cells. It is also a great way to use leftover coffee grounds.
Give it a go and let me know how you find it! Every time I use my homemade body scrub (especially in Winter) I think to myself… ‘why don’t I do that more often’…
