DIY Apple Cinnamon Body Scrub

With fall upon us, it’s time to break out the ever popular Fall Scents. Now those Fall Scents can become part of your daily skin routine. Check out this DIY on Apple Cinnamon Body Scrub. Apples are one of the most loved skincare ingredients because of their natural anti-aging, hydrating, acne clearing and UV protection of the skin. Of course with so many uses for apples I only named a few lol. Even if you are not a big apple lover I guarantee you may just love this body scrub 🙂 Everyone will want a little “Whiff” of you and will be asking where you got it 😉 Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 C. coconut oil
½ C. brown sugar
½ C. natural applesauce
2 tsp. cinnamon
4-5 4 oz. jelly jars

2. Apply to damp skin (use nice warm water to help open pores), scrubbing gently, allowing your pores to soak up the rich, beautiful scent.
3. Allow to set on your skin for 2-3 minutes before rinsing. This will give the ingredients time to absorb into the skin leaving it feel soft, smooth and help to eliminate dead skin cells.
4. Rinse with nice cool water to lock in moisture.

DIY apple cinnamon lip balm

I loved lip balm when I was younger. I can remember every time my mom and I went to the store I always begged my mom to let me go and look at the lip balm. Although every tube my mom ever got me ended up getting lost or used up very quickly. Now here I am 24 years and still have a love for lip balm but can now do it at home. Below I found this recipe (courtesy of DIY Lip Balms) for an at home DIY Apple Cinnamon Lip Balm. All I can say is yummy!
