Sugar scrubs are one of my favorite ways to get off all the disgusting dead skin.  You can buy them at the store, but it's so much easier to make at home (and cheaper!).

Brown Sugar Scrub:

Makes: One full body application
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Shelf Life: None, Keep refrigerated

Ingredients:

• 1 and 1/2 cups of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract

How to make it:

• Pour the brown sugar into a bowl and pack it tightly with the back of a spoon.
• Add the olive oil and mix it into a paste.
• Add the vanilla extract and evenly distribute it.  It adds a nice scent.

How to use it:
Scoop some into the palm of your hand.  Spread it around your torso and limbs.  Avoid broken skin and your face.  Also make sure you do this in the shower.


If you guys use this, let me know!  I definitely plan on using this recipe sometime soon.

xxoo,
