Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Organic sugar- Such as cane sugar or brown sugar. It's fine and gentle enough to use on the skin. The sweet crystals are used as the “scrub” portion of this exfoliant to slough off dead skin cells and get the blood flowing to the skin. Sugar also naturally hydrates the skin.
- 1 tbsp Nourishing oil- Such as: olive oil, sweet almond oil, jojoba oil. Oil moisturizes the skin, as well as removes oils and dirt. There are many nourishing oil possibilities.
Instructions
- Add the sugar to a small storage container and stir in the oil. I recommend adding 1 tablespoon of oil, then adding more oil if needed, until you've reached your desired consistency.
Scoop a small amount of the scrub on your finger tips. Gently massage the scrub on the face, using circular motions, for about 30 seconds.
Rinse the scrub off with a wet washcloth.
I usually follow-up with a moisturiser.
