When it comes to your face, there is not a shadow of doubt that you’ve got your skincare routine down pat! We are sure if we were to come over, we’d find a shelf lined with your trusty cleanser, moisturiser and scrub! Are we right or are right?! *winks*
But did you know that it is equally important to pay attention to your hands? Apart from applying some hand cream at least a few times a day, you must also exfoliate your hands twice a week. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and keeps your hands soft and moisturised.
Here’s a simple DIY hand scrub that you can concoct in just a few minutes using ingredients that you would easily find in your kitchen. Read on for a super simple hand scrub recipe that you’re definitely going to love...
Step 01: In a medium-sized bowl, take some honey and coconut oil and stir well.
Step 02: In another bowl, mix together salt, sugar and lemon juice until it forms a crumbly mixture.
Step 03: Pour the salt mixture over the honey mixture and stir until smooth.
Step 04: Take a marble-sized amount of the scrub and gently rub it into your hands for one to two minutes. Don’t forget to exfoliate between your fingers too.
Step 05: Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
Step 06: Repeat this process twice a week for best results.
