DIY Beauty: Homemade Scrubs from Toner

Posted by Alexandra C. | Wednesday January 25, 201212 comments


Last week we gave you an easy DIY for a homemade toner. Hopefully you've been loving the toner and the glowing skin you're getting from it! The recipe makes enough for a small bottle with a little leftover, so if you're looking for an easy way to use up what's left, why not try a scrub? 

This scrub is wonderful for your face, but I also suggest using it on your hands for dry winter-chapped skin. It's a nourishing and softening scrub but the added ingredients from your toner also means it will help treat oily and blemish prone skin. Feel free to use this as a mask too: just leave it on for about 10 minutes after lightly rubbing in and then rinse off. 

What you'll need: Honey, Sugar and Your Toner! 
 

I used 3-4 tbsp of honey, around 2 tbsp of sugar and about 1 tsp of toner. You can play around with the proportions depending on how grainy you want your scrub. I usually like mine to be thicker and to have a lot of beads to really get my skin exfoiliated. Those with sensitive skin may want to use less sugar. 

This will make one small container or bowl of scrub. 

Step 1: Sugar and Honey


Mix these two together, adding more or less depending on the consistency and amount of the scrub desired.

Step 2: Add Toner


Depending on how thick you want your scrub, add anywhere from two to 1 tsp of toner (or more) to your scrub. 


That's it! You've got yourself a scrub all ready to go. Store in airtight container in fridge or use right away.

Also- I've been really into tea tree oil lately, definitely suggest putting in an extra drop, isn't the best smell, but really worth it!!!
