A great scrub gently sloughs away dead skin cells, increasing cell turnover and revealing glowing skin. An even better scrub adds hydration back into the skin for a dewy appearance that lasts all day.

Antioxidant-rich strawberries make the base of this recipe. The alpha-hydroxy acid in strawberries, paired with the coconut sugar, creates a natural exfoliant. As a plus, strawberries are a natural source of salicylic acid, an acne-fighting ingredient found in many acne products. To keep your skin moisturized, coconut oil gets added and leaves your skin with a sweet, tropical scent.

Start by placing strawberries in a food processor with a little bit of water and blend until puréed. Combine the strawberry purée with coconut sugar and melted coconut oil. Coconut sugar makes a great scrub because the granules are small, great for gently and effectively exfoliating the delicate face area and body. The mixture should be moist but not liquidy. Store in the shower in an airtight container. When in the shower, dampen skin and slather on the scrub. Massage the scrub all over your body, paying special attention to trouble areas and spots where you want to increase blood flow, like the thigh area. Massage in a circular motion and allow the scrub to sit for a few minutes before rinsing off to allow the strawberries to go to work.

As with all topical products, be sure to first test a small spot of skin for adverse reactions.
