Mrs BC's House of Chaos: Body Scrub - contains no unicorn turd!

I have been making this body scrub for about 12 months now, & I find it's really good at exfoliating, which is generally what I look for in a scrub. It is also moisturizing, made of completely natural, inexpensive ingredients; & is both quick AND easy to make.

I have been calling this 'Yummy Mummy' Body Scrub; but it won't actually tame your frau brow or scrub off 30kgs, nor will it give you fabulous hair or a BMW 4WD. You'd probably have to get in your BMW 4WD & drive to the brow wrangler, pilates class & your hairdresser for that. But first you'd have to have a BMW 4WD, & that's where my plan falls apart...

Ingredients

10 tablespoons raw sugar. I use homebrand organic. Did you know that sugar contains Glycolic Acid, which is what a lot of big name skin care products name as their 'skin softening' ingredient?

2 tablespoons of honey. Very soothing, & smoothing.

Finely grated zest, & the juice, of 1 lemon.

2 tablespoons of Olive Oil. You can use grapeseed oil if you prefer, which has a finer texture. I started out with Olive Oil & have just stuck to it.

3 drops of Lavender Oil. Unlike a lot of essential oils, this is completely safe for your skin, or even your stomach if you wanted to taste it..it has some healing, antibacterial qualities, but I'm not so keen on the taste.

The contents of 1 Green Tea & Mint teabag. Just snip it open with scissors & pour it in. I like the freshness of mint, although the essential oil on my skin would result in a blister. Green Tea is full of antioxidants - not sure if they transfer to your skin but nice to think so!

Stir the ingredients togethor using a non metal bowl & spoon; store in a plastic container. This makes enough for about 3 or 4 applications, & won't go off for a month or so. Yes, it looks gross but it works. It might separate in the container, but just stir it again, it will be ok. It doesnt contain the chemicals that make it look like a perfectly cohesive unicorn rainbow turd. This is a good thing.
In the shower, just take a smallish amount & rub it into your skin in a circular motion, then rinse off. Easy! I find that my skin feels almost too moisturized for a few hours, it's almost the same feeling you get after having a bath with bath oil. My skin is fairly dry & sensitive (thank you Irish ancestors!) & this scrub doesnt aggravate my skin at all.
Also, if your kidlets decide to taste test it you wont have to take them to the emergency ward! Bonus! (Mothers of boys, can I hear an amen!?)
Enjoy
