Recipe I went off of is.
1 cup of Natural, Raw/Organic Brown Sugar. ( I just went to Fred Meyer and bought Cane Brown Sugar )
1/2 cup of Olive Oil. ( you can use baby oil.. but Ive seen too many bad reviews on it )( extra virgin is best )
8 tbsp. Honey - I used what I thought made it look good. ( Raw, Unprocessed )
Optional: Vitamin E couple of capsules. I did not use it in my first batch. I will try in my next batch.
While olive oil and honey have been used in natural beauty concoctions throughout history, it seems as though they've just recently received the spotlight that they deserve. Honey, a natural antioxidant known for reducing inflammation, is antibacterial and antifungal, making it great for acne-prone skin, and due to its ability to stimulate cytokine production it is also capable of speeding up the healing process. It's great for lightening scarring and, as a natural humectant, attracting water to the skin, leaving it hydrated and soft. Olive oil is rich in polyphenols and hydroxytrosol, one of nature's most powerful antioxidants, which strengthens the skin's immune system and protects it from oxidation. Hydroxytrosol also slows aging by stabilizing the cell plasma membrane. Olive oil is rich in oleic acid and is a natural emollient and excellent moisturizer.
