Now that warmer weather has arrived, it's
time to show of those stems (and arms, and back!) again. But if that has
you thinking more "eek!" than "awesome!", give your skin a little buff
with these easy DIY scrubs (five ingredients or fewer) that you can make
right now.
YOU'LL NEED: A large bowl to combine ingredients and a pestle for grinding. If you don't have a pestle, a tablespoon or hard plastic spatula should work. And consider getting a mason jar with a seal and lid to store these—so pretty!
