This is a poor excuse for a post, but I need to get back into the swing of posting. I have been so busy!
I read about this DIY conditioning-exfoliating scrub in a magazine and I tried it last night. It was nothing short of amazing for my dry winter skin. I even used it on my face! Now, I would not necessarily use this in the morning and then go to work all day, but in the winter at night, in a hot shower, this was incredible.
Simply:
Coconut oil
Brown sugar
I bet olive oil would work too but the coconut oil smelled so incredible and I had it on hand. I heated it up so it would mix better, and I would be lying if I said I didn't taste it.
I scrubbed this all over in the shower and it was a little oily, so be sure to warn your spouse or roommate about the tub being slippery (or just clean it out - duh!). My skin was so incredibly soft, it was crazy!!
Try it, you will like it.
Last year I made some scrub with grapeseed oil and regular sugar and a few drops of essential oils. It is amazing how great this stuff works, without all the added chemicals and crap!
ReplyDeleteSarah - I remember when you posted that! I think Grapeseed oil smells incredible!
Deletecan you tell me more about the amount of each? like 1/2 cup plus 1/2 cup kind of thing? i literally JUST bought coconut oil because one of my friends keeps talking about it.
ReplyDeletethanks!!

@ TL - I just mixed half and half. 1/2 cup to start for both would be good. It was the consistency of wet sand.
DeleteTasted it....haha....u make me laugh friend : ) I'll have to try this out....not taste it, but try it!
ReplyDeleteHAHAH! You KNOW I tasted it! It was awesome.
