I have tried what must be a million different beauty scrubs for exfoliation and softening my skin. I have to say that I stumbled upon a very simple recipe for the best scrub I have ever used and the best thing is that it is super cheap and readily available! I use plain white granulated sugar and sunflower oil. I just mix until I get the "right" consistency. This is roughly about 1 cup of sugar and a 1/2 cup of sunflower oil. You could use whatever oil you wanted to, but I think sunflower oil is the best, it won't clog your pores (unlike baby oil) and while olive oil is great as well, it has a very distinct smell...I don't want to smell like olive oil! I also throw in a few drops of essential oil...right now I am using peppermint, but have used vanilla, coconut, lavender...just depends on my mood! I made a few jars of this for my Mom, sisters and my Grandma for Christmas 2007 and they loved it. It softens and exfoliates, apply it to dry skin for more exfoliation and to wet skin for less exfoliation. Just give it a little stir each time you use it...It is the best! Try it and let me know what you think!
