DIY Honey and Sugar Scrub

The Esencia Wellness spa team has crafted a few simple DIY facial scrubs for your self-care moments at-home. Treat yourself to a spa-like scrub with ingredients right from your kitchen pantry. This week’s scrub can be done using honey and sugar to cleanse and exfoliate the skin. Don’t forget to follow along on our social at @unico2087 and #MyUNICOHomeExperience for more at-home inspiration.

 You’ll only need two simple ingredients, sugar and honey. These two ingredients have many benefits for the skin. Honey can be used to treat puffy eyes, eczema, and acne. Sugar is a soothing ingredient in any body scrub. Sugar's gritty texture works as an exfoliant to gently buff away dead skin and give your face a healthy glow.

To begin, you’ll mix 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Next, apply directly to your face in a gentle circular motion making sure to feel the exfoliation on your skin. Once you’ve covered your face, remove the scrub with lukewarm water and voilà, clean smooth skin! For best results, repeat twice a week!

*We recommend that people with sensitive skin perform a patch test first to ensure there is no reaction. Discontinue if irritation occurs.
