Homemade sugar scrubs are the best!
You get all the benefits of natural, fresh, chemical-free ingredients for a fraction of the price of equivalent store-bought equivalents.

You also have the ease and flexibility of including and combining essential and base oils and other ingredients that are readily available in your kitchen and that suit your mood that day.

As this fantastic Infographic illustrates, DIY scrubs are fast and easy to make, using as few as three ingredients!

The "base" consists of brown or white sugar and common cooking oil (olive, almond or coconut).  To that you can add a few drops of a wide array of essential oils (orange, peppermint, lavender, cucumber ...) and/or a small amount of vanilla extract and honey.

The possibilities are endless but this Infographic provides four simple recipes to exfoliate, invigorate and even soothe skin:

 Sweet Orange Sugar Scrub

❤ Cucumber Mint Sugar Scrub

❤ Vanilla Lavender Sugar Scrub

❤ Honey and Brown Sugar Scrub

Skin Care: 16 Amazing Oils [Infographic]

Natural Skincare:  16 Amazing Oils for Your Skin
Infographic from Glamour.com
When it comes to skincare, natural oils may just be your skin's best friend.

Oils derived exclusively from fruits, nuts, seeds, herbs, flowers and other plants have unique properties that cleanse, heal and repair, calm and soothe, moisturize and renew, and protect the skin.

Some oils can be used to target and treat specific skin conditions and problems, such as aging, acne, scars and eczema.

One of the greatest advantages of using natural oils is that they do not contain industrial chemicals and toxic ingredients that are often found in commercial skincare products.  Some of these ingredients actually harm the skin and may even harm human health when they are absorbed by the body through the skin over a long period of time.

This absolutely wonderful and informative infographic illustrates and briefly explains the beauty and health benefits of 16 oils that can be used in naturally caring for one's skin:
