Here's what you need:
- Brown Sugar (the light stuff, the dark stuff disintegrates)
- Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (you should be eating this anyway!)
- A plastic, sealable container
- Pour enough oil into the container to coat the bottom
- Top with a few spoonfuls of sugar
- Continue alternating layers of oil and sugar until you reach the top (leave some room)
- Now stir, stir, stir until the sugar appears saturated with oil
You now have a 100% all-natural, super cheap exfoliant (and you can pronounce all the ingredients in your creation). Get organic ingredients to make it even better!
I usually go through this concoction in about two weeks. I keep it stored in the shower and have never had a problem with it going rancid.
CAUTION: Slathering on olive oil in the shower, leaves the shower floor very slick! I spray mine down with vinegar afterwards and that tends to do the trick. Just give a heads up to the next guy in line.
i bought some brown sugar body scrub w/ shea butter from The Walmart, it was about $5. I'll have to do a cost analysis comparison. But I will say your skin is very supple :)
ReplyDeleteBut what else is in that scrub? Thanks for the compliment Trixie, you don't hear that everyday!
ReplyDeleteHoney and Sea Salt Scrub is awesome too :)
ReplyDeleteSorry, forgot to say that you can vitamin E, or coconut oil, and lavender!
