Super awesome homeade skin scrub

[Mt-momma]

I thought I'd share this really simple recipe to make an amazing homeade exfoliating and hydrating skin scrub. I know there's no miracle to get rid of stretch marks or whatever, but it's hard to argue that exfoliated, hydrated skin looks and feels so much healthier.

I mix this up in a gladware plastic container and keep it in the shower. It won't spoil because all ingredients are room temp.

Base:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (you can add extra, but I prefer a less oily feel)

Optional additions:
6 capsules vitamin E (snip off end and squeezd out oil)
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pure shea butter 1/8 cup

Just rub on with your fingertips and then rinse off. Pat dry and use your favorite lotion if needed.
Super cheap and makes your skin feel like you've done a major spa treatment.
You may have to mix with your fingers every once in a while as the olive oil will eventually settle to the bottom.
Enjoy!

I hope your "friend" likes it lol. My hubby uses it all the time. Very simple and doesn't have fragrance so you won't end up smelling like a feild of lilacs or whatever. Awesome for the cold, dry climates .

My friends give me a lot of lip about some of the products I use that they will spot around my home

In the end they are 50 and look 55 and I'm almost 50 and hopefully still passing for mid 30's. Using HGH since the early 90's is probably the thing i credit most but I have retinol cream and all sorts of things here lol

Gonna do this right now before my shower. Very similar to something I've done before, but put a few essential oils in it too. This has reminded me to revive this kind of treatment

As zeek stated above I have a friend that's gonna try this as well lol. I happened to be blessed with very smooth skin. Chicks ask me what I use all the time. Lol

Detour- I'm an essential oil fan myself. I just wanted to post up a basic simple recipe that most will have the ingredients on hand to make. I tend to have expensive taste in essential oils (the base is the cheap part lol).
