You Glow Girl!
Here's a great little recipe for a sugar scrub that will help exfoliate your skin in the shower and leave you feeling soft and supple.
I love sugar scrubs because they're fairly simple and cheap to make from ingredients found in your own cupboard. Plus, you can give this away as cool summer gifts to all your friends and they will think you're soooo crafty!
Basic Sugar Body Scrub:
1 clear plastic jar
1 cup sugar (can be brown, raw, turbinado or any type will do)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
A few drops of a scented oil (optional)
Directions: In a plastic bowl, mix the sugar and olive oil and if you like, you can add a fragrance to make it more fun. Try lavender essential oil to soothe your senses or a citrusy fragrance oil for an energizing experience. Fragrance oils are safe for use on skin and can be purchased at your local health food store or online. Put the mixture in a plastic container or jelly jar and keep in the bathroom for use anytime.
This scrub works best in a shower. Rub all over your skin and rinse off. Enjoy!
Note: After time, it's normal for the oil to rise to the top and the sugar to settle to the bottom. Give the mixture a quick stir and you're back in business!
