This cold weather with ice cold temperatures is drying out my face, hands and feet.

Please give me your best homemade, moisturizing, fragrant scrub recipe to help my dry skin.

I would be so grateful.:goodvibes
 
I just made a batch of Epsom Salts (but you can use sea salt) and the pink DAWN dish soap. This DAWN is an OLAY Hand Renewal. You mix it together- eyeball it- I found a little rubbermaid container- pour the salt in, and then the dish soap until it was about 1/2 way, then stirred it. Let it sit and settle together.
I use this on hands and feet, sometime legs in the shower. It has been compared to Mary Kay's hand scrub on Pinterest. However, I have not used that particular brand before.
 
I was using olive oil and sugar with almond essence oil for fragrance, but switched to Almond oil with sugar and an essence oil. Almond oil is not as heavy but both work great.
 

I use brown sugar and olive oil on my face.

I use a mix of sugar (1/2 cup) with 2 Tbsp Milk and 2 Tbsp Olive Oil for my body.
 
For my body my DIY scrub is olive oil with sugar (brown or white will do). sometimes i add cinnamon for the scent.

for my feet i do pedicures, i put in a mild hand soap (method it has almost no scent), baking soda, and slices of lemons in a tub of water. i scrub with the lemon slices on the harder places. it really softens the skin and smells amazing.
 
I use coconut oil on my face, hands, feet, hair and I've melted it in the bath. I also use baking soda in the shower mixed with body soap which helps get rid of dry flaky skin, then I apply coconut oil after shower. You can mix sugar with coconut oil as a scrub also.

How do you use the coconut oil on your hair? I tried every method I read about online as I have very dry, coarse, curly hair but I could never get it to "melt" or come out and it always left my hair crunchy.
 
Raw sugar + grape seed oil for hand/feet/body scrub.
Baking soda + water for facial scrub. Be careful though not to rub too hard or too long.
