DIY Honey Sugar Scrub for Glowing Fall Skin
As the weather cools down and the leaves start to fall, your skin might feel a little... off. Dry. Dull. Maybe even flaky. The change in temperature (and indoor heating) can strip your skin of moisture—leaving you in need of a gentle reset.
Enter: this simple, all-natural Honey Sugar Scrub.
It's hydrating, exfoliating, and smells like a cozy fall afternoon in a jar. 🧖♀️✨
🍂 Why Use a Honey Sugar Scrub in the Fall?
-
Honey is a natural humectant—it draws moisture into the skin and helps lock it in. It's also antibacterial, soothing, and gentle enough for sensitive skin.
-
Sugar acts as a physical exfoliant to slough off dead skin cells and reveal your natural glow.
-
Olive oil or coconut oil adds deep hydration without clogging pores.
-
Bonus: Add a touch of cinnamon or vanilla for that warm fall vibe!
🧴 Ingredients
-
1/2 cup organic granulated sugar (white or brown works!)
-
2 tbsp Champlain Valley Apiaries raw honey
-
1 tbsp olive oil or melted coconut oil
-
(Optional) 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract
🌿 Sensitive skin tip: Do a patch test before applying any scrub to your face.
🫙 How to Make It

Mix all ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. The texture should be thick and gritty, but easy to spread.

💆 How to Use
