DIY Beauty | Rose Petal, Sugar + Honey Love Scrub

Here’s a sweet + sassy little DIY that won’t leave you heart-broken… or, broken-out on Valentine’s Day!

There’s no doubt that roses are ridiculously good for your skin! I mean, they’re in everything when it comes to natural skincare, and, for a totally good reason. Not only are they aromatic, but they’re incredibly soft, really nourishing, + totally luxe… plus, they have some street cred for balancing out hormonal skin.

Wedderspoon’s raw, unpasteurized Ulmo Honey is rich in vitamins + nutrients, + has active properties that are super-similar to cult beauty fave, Manuka Honey! And of course – there’s nothing like a little sugar to sweeten up the deal, + make way for some gorge, new skin cells! So, girl… don’t throw away those flowers without pampering yourself, first!

Ingredients + Supplies

• A Fresh or Dried Rose
• 1 Tbsp. Wedderspoon Orgnic Raw Ulmo Honey *20% OFF ’til 2/15/15 | code VDAY!
• 1-2 Tbsps. Organic Cane Sugar
• 2-4 Drops Rose Essential Oil
• Mortar + Pestle

 Instructions

1. Tear apart or crumble your rose petals into tiny little pieces, + add them to the mortar.
2. Next, add the sugar, then grind with the pestle {if you don’t have one, see Tips below}.
3. Add rose oil + honey, + continue grinding until it’s mixed well.
4. Massage onto damp, clean in a circular motion, avoiding your eye area + rinse as usual.

 Tips

• You may have to play with the ingredient amounts depending on the size of your rose.
• The Rose Absolute Essential Oil is strong, so only use the recommended amount.
• Organic Roses, or Roses grown in your own garden are of course best to limit the amount of pesticides, fungicides, etc.
• If you don’t have access to a mortar + pestle, try using the bottom of a small jar inside a bowl to ground the rose petals.
• Grab DIY ingredients + supplies from Amazon, Mountain Rose Herbs, Starwest Botanicals, Aura Cacia, Frontier Co-op, or The Container Store.
