Sugar scrub
It's been so long since I made my first sugar scrub, I take it for granted that everyone should know how to do it. And yet, my mom requests me to bring her a jar ever time I fly home, so I guess exfoliants remain a mystery. So here my top secret recipes, try them, you'll get completely hooked on them. :)
1. Body (mainly feet) sugar scrub
3 cups brown sugar
1 cup olive oil, good quality
10 drops of your favourite essential oil
Mix it all together and put in small jars. Keep them tightly closed if they're in your humid bathroom. This scrub is great for your feet, as it removes all dead skin and odour. Just beware - it might get slippery in the bathtub. Same product can be used for the face, although I personally prefer below.
2. Face sugar scrub
2 to 3 cups very fine white baking sugar
1 cup or about 2 overflowing spoons of coconut oil (depending how hot is it in your place, my coconut oil gets liquid fast)
10 drops essential oil (optional)
This one is perfect for your face, especially if you have sensitive skin/allergies. You can use it everyday if you like, it leaves your face nice and smooth. It also has to be kept closed away from humidity.
And if you get really excited about sugar scrubs, different oils and vitamins and jar labels, here is a site you should check out:
