I share a Natural DIY Body Scrub recipe for Blood Orange Ginger Exfoliant that will leave your skin naturally smooth and soft.
Ladies, you can’t tell me you don’t love a good spa day. But after an expensive holiday season, I can barely justify a $30 pedi, nevermind a full day at the spa. So why not bring the spa to your own home with a Natural DIY Body Scrub?
How to Make a Natural DIY Body Scrub
This Blood Orange Ginger Exfoliant is made with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen so it’s all natural and absolutely delicious (trust me, I maybe sampled a little bit). Made with just sugar, honey, almond oil, ginger, and Sunkist Blood Oranges and Cara Cara oranges, this Naturally DIY Body Scrub feels as good as it looks.
Sunkist citrus is packed with powerful antioxidants that we know are good for our bodies, but why not give your skin a little nourishing treat as well? I usually make a big batch of this yummy Blood Orange Ginger exfoliant, keep it in the fridge until I have a quiet evening to myself, and then indulge in a luxurious spa day at home.
Sunkist Blood Oranges are available from December until April, and the Cara Cara’s are here until May, but if you want to make this in the Summer or Fall you can easily substitute Sunkist Navel Oranges, Grapefruits or Meyer Lemons which would be equally refreshing.

Stacy says
This scrub calls for orange juice. Is this a scrub that has to be refrigerated?
Abbey Sharp says
Not if you are using it right away.
