Has winter left your skin dry and scaly? Pamper your skin from your face to your feet with some do-it-yourself scrubs – all featuring Real Sugar!
Lip exfoliator
Blend a little coconut oil or olive oil with sugar and a drop of peppermint essential oil. Place some of the paste on your lips, massage and lick off.
Body scrub
Sugar scrubs are great for exfoliating. Make your own simple body scrub by mixing sugar with oil (coconut oil, almond, jojoba or olive all work well) to create a loose paste. Gently rub on your skin and then rinse off in the shower.
At home pedicure
Make a sugar scrub using peppermint oil, and scrub the mixture onto the bottom of your feet in the shower for an at-home pedicure that will leave your feet soft and smooth.
Silky smooth shave
Keep your legs (and face for the guys) silky smooth by exfoliating your skin with slightly wet sugar applied in a circular motion and rinsing off before you shave. It helps the razor get a closer cut.
Fresh manicure
Keep your hands soft and youthful by mixing a cup of brown sugar with 1/3 cup of olive oil plus a vitamin E capsule for an at-home manicure scrub. Apply a small scoop on your hands, rub together and rinse.
