If you are a homemade skin care kind of person, you might want to give this DIY sugar scrub a try. From Lily at the blog Kale & Caramel, the honeyed melon sugar scrub uses food products you might find around your house to form a skin exfoliant. You won't need to worry about any potentially harmful chemicals, as the entire thing is totally edible.
Not only will it smell amazing, the exfoliating scrub also contains vitamin A and C from the melon. The result is cleansed and rejuvenated skin. While the sugar gets rid of dead skin, the honey is soothing and anti-bacterial.
To make your own at home, you will need the flesh of a ripe cantaloupe, granulated sugar and honey.
