Hey, Curlies!

There is nothing like a true day of relaxation and self-care. I decided to step it up by creating a DIY Matcha Rose Body Scrub.

This body scrub is simple and includes just five ingredients you’ll most likely have around your home. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Granulated sugar: While I try my best to avoid sugar, I do like to use it in my body scrubs and as a light abrasive.
  • Matcha: Ground up green tea leaves that help with skin inflammation and improves skin complexion.
  • Dried roses: Adds moisture, prevents inflammation and maintains the skin’s pH balance.
  • Peppermint essential oil: Soothes and cools the skin
  • Avocado oil: Provides the skin with healthy fats needed to keep cells healthy

A common theme you’ll see for this recipe is its anti-inflammatory properties. 

I haven’t used store bought lotion in years, and don’t plan to any time soon. They are full of harmful chemicals that don’t truly moisturize the skin. Now days, I use my DIY whipped shea butter, body butters from some of my favorite online brands or I use body scrubs like this one.

Ready to get started? Here’s how it’s done:

DIY Matcha Rose Body Scrub

You’ll need:

Instructions:

Add sugar to mixing bowl
Add matcha to sugar
Combine matcha and sugar and break up and large sugar chunks
Add in avocado oil
Combine well
Add 5-7 drops of peppermint essential oil and mix
Add 1/2 the portion of dried roses and mix

How to use

The easiest way to use this scrub is to keep it in the shower. You’ll want to scoop a handful out after cleansing your body. Massage it into your skin, rinse and that’s it.

Be sure to avoid getting too much water into the jar.
