DIY - Body Scrub

It's Spring...... I can hear the birds singing and see the sun shining! Little things (plus a day off from work on the weekend is a real treat!) all make me super happy. So I am going for a pampering Sunday morning starting with a DIY facial (see separate post) and a DIY body scrub.

Here is the recipe for the body scrub:

• Olive oil (or any other oil that is not too strong, e.g. not sesame oil!)
• Flakes of sea salt
• Honey

That's it. I mix the three ingredients in a ramekin, and transfer them to a tiny jam jar that I leave in the bathroom. I can usually use it twice before having to make some more. Be sure you massage into your skin gently to increase the circulation, which helps to eliminate cellulite and remove dead skin. I love the feeling that it leaves my skin - soft, supple, and nourished.

Hope you enjoy it - whatever you do, pamper yourself today! xx

Free facial at Origins

Origins is one of my favourite skincare brands.I went for a free facial in mid January at the Cambridge branch of John Lewis with a voucher given alongside the purchase of two products. My favourite Origins products are:

• Never a Dull Moment cleanser
• Modern Friction
• Brighter by Nature (exfoliating pads)

The face wash is amazing - moisturising, refreshing, and it even removes dead skin cells gently. For me, the best skincare tip to keep the skin clean and moisturised. Clean, Exfoliate, and Moisturise.... I'll share my favourite make-up remover next time. It's one that can't be bought in the UK.... until next time. xx
