Today we are going to make our skin look like a baby's with a salt and honey scrub! A body scrub is a product used to exfoliate skin and remove dead cells to allow the new ones to breath. As a consequence, skin is smoother and softer and ready for other treatments as body lotion or sun tan lotion. When we have none in our beauty case, we can prepare some with kitchen salt and honey. Put some spoonfulls of honey in a bowl and then add two spoonfulls of salt. Remove until they are perfectly mingled. Take a shower and rub ithge scrub in circles in moistened skin. Inmediately, clear with warm water. Repeat this process once a week and your skin will keep kissable forever! The magic of this combo is due to the exfoliating qualities of salt and the moisturizing ones of honey. And remember, it's normal than once you follow this process your skin is a bit red, but it will pass! Trick: When choosing a scrub, do not choose one whose grain it's too big because they irritate more skin and that's particularly important if your skin is sensitive. And the most important of all, do not use after waxing!
