A Summer Recipe For The Winter - Piña Colada Sugar Scrub

As Summer gets closer to coming to a close, I find it important to make the most of what's left. Celebrate the days with outdoor picnics, trips to the beach, and long walks in the woods. By night, treat yourself to a little something tropical, like this creamy, pinapple and coconut scented sugar scrub!

Creamy Shealoe Butter gives this scrub a light, fluffy texture that you will totally fall in love with. We've scented this recipe with one of our new Plant-Based Fragrance Oils, giving it a sweet aroma reminiscent of indulgent frozen cocktails. 

Creamy Pina Colada Sugar Scrub
Makes about 8 ounces

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Shealoe Butter
• 10 tablespoons Organic Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Yellow Jojoba Wax Beads
• 2 teaspoons Yellow Beeswax
• 1 teaspoon of Pina Colada Plant-Based Fragrance Oil

Directions

1. Melt the Beeswax in a double boiler. When the wax has melted, stir in the Shealoe Butter, then immediately remove the pan from the heat.
2. Whisk the mixture as it cools, stopping when it is no longer hot. Add the Plant-Based Fragrance Oil, and mix well.
3. Add the Sugar and Wax Beads, stirring well to fully combine the ingredients.

Usage & Packaging
This scrub looks great in our 4 oz. Flat PET Jars with White Lids.

To use, apply a few tablespoons to your skin and massage gently in a circular motion. This scrub is ideal for use as a body scrub, but would probably be a little too harsh for the face.

This is a summer essential: 

- Helps control sun damage

- Eliminates sun spots 

- Brightens skin & improves elastin production

7 Ways To Update Your Morning Beauty Routine for Winter

1. START THE DAY WITH A GLASS OF WATER

Moisturizing from the inside out is especially important part of your beauty routine for winter. Starting the day with a tall glass of lukewarm water (we’re big fans of infused water) will not only hydrate but also flush out toxins and give you an energy boost.

2. WAKE UP WITH EXERCISE AND AN ‘INSTANT FACIAL’ INSTEAD OF COFFEE

Coffee is a diuretic so relying on it for energy can dehydrate and age skin. A natural way to get the blood moving in the morning is with gentle exercise, like yoga or a short walk. Combine it with dunking your face in cold water and you’ll instantly feel awake and energized – not to mention getting brighter, tighter skin!

3. SWITCH TO A GENTLE CLEANSER

A homemade body wash is easy to make and won’t dry your skin like most soaps on the market. And a bonus is you can tailor it to your favorite scent by changing the essential oils you use. For your face, a daily cleanser will gently exfoliate without drying out skin.

4. YES, YOU STILL NEED TO EXFOLIATE

A good scrub can do wonders for increasing the penetration of body lotions. This Salicylic Daily Exfoliator, exfoliates the outer dry skin cells and preps skin for the next and most crucial step of moisturizing.

5. USE A RICHER MOISTURIZER

You can make your own super rich body butter for winter, but we know not everyone wants to DIY. So when purchasing a store bought product be sure to check that it’s fragrance free because artificial fragrances may be irritating to your skin. This AmLactin Hydrating Body Cream is not only fragrance free, but also has alpha hydroxy acids in it, which will continue to encourage cell renewal while at the same time offering relief from dry skin.

Moisturizers are best applied to wet (think pat towel dry, not dripping wet skin). If you use this body lotion, you may notice stinging if you’ve recently shaved your legs, that’s because the alpha hydroxy acids are doing their job. Don’t be alarmed, just be aware.

6. DON’T FORGET TO PROTECT

The sun is still out in winter! So you should always apply a sunscreen after a body moisturizer to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. This Age Defy SPF daily cream can provide protection between SPF 30 and 40 depending on the type of skin you have and provides extra moisture to shield skin in winter.

7. EAT BEAUTY FOODS FOR BREAKFAST

Pick a healthy breakfast that delivers a dose of winter beauty foods. Try apple oatmeal, a pumpkin smoothie or a cranberry quinoa granola. And don’t forget, there’s nothing wrong with eating pudding for breakfast!

These morning steps can help combat the winter effects of dry skin by using alpha hydroxy therapy and hydrating our body. Do you have any favorite products that make an appearance during the winter season?
