When it comes to changing seasons, there’s nothing that bothers me more than dry skin and chapped burning lips. There is a myriad of other things, but these are the top 2 (P.S. I hate winter, I secretly think I was a tropical tree frog in my past life).
But I mean come on, its mid October and I went this long without a body scrub, time to de-flake and moisturize baby! So on a mission to find the best scrub, here is one that I have tried and tested and can be used all over the body, on the face etc. (for external use only..duh)
- ¼ cup olive oil or coconut oil if you’ve jumped on that band wagon (because you know if Dr. Oz said it you know it must be good for you right? Not! Ugh!)
- ½ cup of granulated sugar (here’s the thing, white sugar has more exfoliating power, brown sugar is a gentler ground so its not as abrasive, it also smells better) you be the judge!
Depending on how liberal you are with it, you can mix this up in a jar and use it approximately 2 times. -you can add scent, but it’s really not necessary as you are to scrub this on in the shower and then wash it off, I should hope you will use soap in the shower to!! And anyway the scrub itself kind of smells like a baked good of some sort anyway.
Enjoy your silky new skin, don’t
forget to moisturize after your shower! I love cocoa butter, it
smells delish!
