4 Homemade Body Scrub Recipes

Everyone loves a great body scrub, but they can be expensive and if you’re not careful, full of chemicals! So I decided to develop my own body scrub recipes. Below are 4 of them, and a word of warning: just because you can eat them (they’re totally edible; that’s how you know something is truly healthy for your body!), doesn’t mean you should.

(I mean you could if you really wanted to, but do you? Ask yourself that question, first.)

And that’s it for now! Enjoy.
