This scrub butter may help blemish prone skin with murumuru and its high levels of lauric acid, guava oil known for its astringent properties and andiroba known for antimicrobial properties.
Super easy to make, melt all ingredients, minus the scrub,in a double boiler, pop in the fridge for a little bit, when the butter is starting to solidify add the the scrub and start folding into the butter, if the butter gets too soft put it back in the fridge for a little bit longer and mix/fold again.
*Other ways to mix the scrub into the butter are: whipping the butter or if you want to just make a melt and pour butter you can layer the scrub, pour some butter/oil blend, pop into the fridge until solid, add a second layer and some scrub, the scrub will settle on top of the first, solid now, layer. Keep repeating until your butter and scrub are done.
Ingredients:
Murumuru Butter - 5 Parts
Andiroba Oil + Guava Oil - 1 Part (1/2 parts of each, you can use equal parts, or use more of the oil you like better).
Andiroba Bio-Scrub - 1/2 Part - you may need to sieve it, you can also grind it again in a small coffee grinder, I bought a small one off eBay for 8 bucks.
I use this scrub on clean damp skin, after scrubbing I gently remove the powder using a wet towel and rinse with warm water, no soap is needed, pat dry with a clean towel. Proceed with your habitual skin care routine, I also like scrubbing BEFORE my clay masks.
I hope you enjoy, please tag us if you make this recipe!

There are many ways to make scrubs, and thousands of "ready to use" on the market. A scrub is a great way to get rid of dead skin cells, therefore helping with uneven, bumpy, flaky or dry skin. Scrubbing is also a great way to massage your legs, helping the circulation which helps with cellulite, tired legs and even spider veins.
For a made at home body scrub I like to keep it simple: oil + sugar.
For the oil you can actually use even kitchen oil, but the experience won't be the same as if you splurge a bit. A lot of people use coconut oil, it works well. But my favorite is Passion Fruit Oil.
3 Reasons Passion Fruit is my favorite for scrubs:
It has a nice fruity scent without being overpowering.
It spreads out nicely, and it is just oily enough for a good few minutes of scrubbing.
It is light enough to be kept on your skin, no soap, just rinse off the sugar.
Mix 1 part oil for 2 parts sugar. I usually just mix what I am using that same day, but you can make a jar and keep it in a cool, dark place, or the fridge, a good cold scrub during the hot Summer days feels heavenly!
Shave first if you need, if your skin gets too thin or sensitive after shaving then wait one day.
You need to sit in order to do a good scrub, I usually sit on my little deck outside, if you have a bathtub put a towel on the edge and sit your cute behind down, for a shower bring a little stool. But a stand up, rushed scrubbing is no good!!!
Put a little bit of the sugar on your hands and work your legs up and down with both hands, use some pressure, don't overdo it to the point of getting raw skin, but massage your legs like you mean it!
I usually get all tingly after my scrubbing sessions, it is the circulation being worked.
Do the same for your arms, butt, and shoulders. Be a bit more delicate on chest and neck area. If you are lucky enough to have someone handy to help you with your back do it!
