I meant to post this weeks and weeks ago, but then things happened. Like Christmas. And friends coming over. And other distractions. Anyway, here it is now.
I just used the most amazing sugar scrub! Okay, I can't really say it's the most amazing, as it's the first one I've ever tried, but OH. MY. GOSH. My face has never, ever, ever felt so smooth, soft, and amazing. Best thing? I had everything it called for in my kitchen. It was so simple to make! The ingredients are sugar, olive oil and . . . . . .
wait for it. . . . . . .
. . . . . . a drop of vanilla extract (I used flavoring).
Really truly! That's it! 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon olive oil and a drop of vanilla extract. I think the vanilla is in there to make it smell nice, more than anything else. You could easily replace that with any essential oil you want to use. And you're in business! Just remember, when you use any kind of scrub, you don't need to tread carefully. Don't make your face bleed or anything, but there is no need to be super gentle (just avoid the eye area). The more dead skin you can scrub off, the longer the effects will last. Then, hop in the shower to rinse (or just do it over the sink, but the shower is easier and less messy). I wouldn't even bother with washing your face; you want to leave that lovely moisturizing oil on your face. If you feel the need, rub a little of your favorite moisturizer on after your shower, or a little more olive oil. Your skin will feel AMAZING, I promise!
