Sugar Scrubs are the best for the winter season. I get dry, itchy skin from the cold and something that helps me are sugar scrubs. In this scrub I like using raw sugar because of the health benefits it provides. Raw sugar can improve circulation, increase blood cell production and digestion. The skin craves hydration and this is exactly what it needs. Many of the best make-up products use raw sugar. Along with the raw sugar i also put a few drops of lavender oil, eucalyptus and peppermint. This mixture brings in a soothing penetrating scrub. The lavender is popular for calming the nerves but also have properties where it can calm itchy skin. During the winter season, colds and flu are common. That's where the eucalyptus comes in. It can help to cleanse the body of toxins and harmful micro organisms that make you feel sick. I also put a hint of peppermint to induce the smell just a tad, but more so for the benefits. Peppermint oil is great for sore muscles and cramps. Due to its antibacterial properties it also can help to cure acne. This combination with lavender, eucalyptus and peppermint, this one sugar scrub i would want forever.
