DIY Exfoliating Sugar Scrub

Submitted by: sal  02/26/2009 1:41 PM
 
This scrub is so easy to make, only 2 ingredients, and cheap ingredients at that. It makes your skin super soft and gently exfoliates the skin.

Take half a cup of sugar (finer grained sugars are gentler on the skin) and then drizzled with cold pressed olive oil (you can substitute all sorts of oils here, but I like olive oil best) until the sugar is damp all the way through making a nice thick paste. Then gently rub the paste over your skin, face too, and then shower. I do this about once a month for soft silky skin.

Do you have any problems with the sugar/oil combination clogging your drains?

Have not yet, but maybe that's because I only do it once a month? I have heard that if you have a slow or finicky shower drain that the mixture of sugar and oil might slow your drain over time. So use caution!

I use sugar and lemon juice mixture. The lemon juice evens out blotchy skin and this doesn't clog the drain. It makes it smell better.

i know someone who uses combination of lemon juice, egg yolks, oil, and honey, and boy, her face and neck look so smooth, supple, and so very young looking (she's in her 60's!)...she uses the egg whites for angel food cake and meringue!

sugar and baby oil works just as well too.
