🇬🇧🇳🇴Making sugar scrub for the skin is so easy and so fun - and the best side effect : the skin will glow, get nourishment and be exfoliated in a gentle, all natural way. I love try and make different recipes and different types of sugar scrubs. I make only small batches each time so they won't sit on my shelf for long. I prefer sugar scrub over salt scrub because I find the sugar scrub more gentle to the skin. This time I've made a green matcha tea sugar scrub for face and body. Matcha tea powder has tons of benefits - but the main reason I've used it in my scrub is because it contains a lot of antioxidants and is a natural detoxifier. I use coconut oil and white sugar in my scrub, but if you prefer brown sugar that's perfect too. I ...
