Winters are really dry. Even if you stay in Kolkata where the 'chill feel' is almost like a Blue Moon, but the dryness in the air makes the skin also dry, patchy and dehydrated. Apart from drinking lots of water during winter, taking caring of skin is very important and when the solution comes handy, then there should not have any harebrained attitude. Right?
Today, my loyal herbal milk butter face scrub is finished and due to cash crunch situation (demonetization), I feared to invest my left over money in hand on my beauty product. For a minute, I was standing like an idiotic creature thinking What to do? Then, an idea clicked and I made Sugar scrub with lemon and honey at home to give my skin a beautiful gift and solve my cash crunch situation. This turn out to be an amazing DIY product and thought of sharing the experience with my beautiful readers.
1. Sugar- 1 big spoon
2. Honey- 1 big spoon
3. Coconut Oil- 1 medium size spoon
4. Olive oil- 1 medium size spoon
5. Lemon Juice- Half a slice
Steps to Prepare:
1. First, on a big bowl, add 1 big spoon Sugar, then I add 1 big spoon honey and mix slowly.
2. Then, add coconut oil and olive oil and slowly stir the entire mixture
3. Finally, add lemon juice of half slice lemon
How to Store:
I take my empty scrub box, wash it nicely and then slowly pour the entire mixture. You can keep it in the refrigerator to get the cooling effect whenever you use the scrub. But, as the weather is already a bit chilly so I kept it room temperature.

1. Wash your face with normal water
2. Take a scrub on your two fingers and apply on the face
3. Now, slowly rub your face in a circular motion from face to neck
4. Keep the scrub for 2-3 minutes to penetrate the oils inside the skin
