I am so excited to share my all time favorite scrub with you! Its only two simple ingredients- brown sugar and olive oil. Thats it guys!
In my previous blog post, I shared the abundance of benefits of sugar and olive oil. These included the plethora of antioxidants, vitamins and other awesome pro-skin stuff. These two ingredients prevent the signs of aging and fight bacteria. The outcome? Supple, hydrated and moisturized skin!
When preparing your scrub, remember that brown sugar is often softer than granulated sugar. The former can be used for your face and sensitive skin, while I would recommend the latter if you have a lot of dry skin. If you're worried about your skin reacting, test a little bit of the scrub on your forearm before you try it on your face.
Stir in about 3 tablespoons of sugar with 5-6 spoonfuls of olive oil. You can also add some essential oils such as lavender or orange to enhance fragrance. After cleansing, rub the mixture into your skin. Leave on for 10-15 minutes for better results and then wash off. I would recommend not to use soap to wash it off, and instead rub in the remaining olive oil into your skin for longer lasting moisture and shine.
I this video I used Dark Brown Sugar and Bertoli's Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Kroger.
Try this amazing scrub and reveal your new glowing, goddess-like skin! What do you think?
I love this so much! It helps me get rid of "strawberry legs" if I use this before I shave and it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or irritated cause of the olive oil.
I tried this! Loved the simplicity of it! Exfoliates and moisturizes at the same time, and not expensive! I put my "brown sugar oil scrub" in a pretty glass jar with a spoon beside it. That makes it ready for me anytime I wish to use, plus its pretty on bathroom counter.
