Tea Tree Body Scrub
What It Does: Body scrubs do more than remove dead skin cells – they can also moisturize dry skin and fight acne! Coconut sugar has just the right amount of coarseness to gently exfoliate the entire body, especially your heels. Jojoba oil moisturizes without clogging pores and mimics the sebum your body creates, helping to restore balance to dry skin. Tea tree oil fights acne with its antimicrobial properties.

Almond Face Scrub for Dry Skin
What It Does: Winter can be brutal on fragile skin, causing the lips and face to become cracked and flaky. This face scrub for sensitive skin uses ground almonds to help gently exfoliate. Almonds contain vitamin E, an anti-inflammatory, calming redness and increasing moisture. Coconut oil adds an extra dose of moisture, hydrating skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Citrus Face Scrub for Oily Skin
What It Does: Oily, acne-prone skin can be frustrating and difficult to treat. This scrub uses baking soda to create a paste that exfoliates skin, absorbs excess moisture and neutralizes pH imbalances. Raw honey contains antimicrobial properties and enzymes to fight breakouts gently. The citric acid in the lemon and orange peel helps combat acne.
