If you are having the same terrible experience you are in luck, because I have found a fabulous moisturizing scrub courtesy of none other than Blake Lively’s new(ish) lifestyle website. After all the hype leading up to the launch, this site was not quite what we expected to see from Blake Lively in fact it got very mixed reviews in the first few weeks after it went live. Thanks to Blake Lively finally gracing instagram with her presence, I have been following the site and loving everything I see on it. Featuring all American made goods to small town artists to awesome recipes to holistic, all natural beauty remedies, this site has it all. Which leads me to my recent discovery of the all natural scrub that you can make with things you probably already have in your kitchen – even if you don’t, a quick run to fresh market will fix that.
- ½ cup organic blueberries
- 1 cup organic sugar or brown sugar
- ½ cup olive oil, grape seed oil or coconut oil (I used coconut oil)
- 1 TBSP of vitamin E oil (to help preserve freshness)
- 5 drops of organic essential oil
Directions:
- Rinse blueberries very well
- Puree blueberries in a food processor along with the rest of the ingredients.
- Transfer into a bowl or tupperware container
- Apply scrub using hands in circular motions
- Let sit on skin for about one minute (redness is okay, this means you are activating blood circulation)
- After dry, wash off with warm water and towel dry
Scrub will keep in the fridge for about a week. If the temperature in the fridge hardens the oils, just leave it out on the counter for a few minutes before use and you should be good.
