Face & Body Scrub

Try Using Sugar as an Exfoliating Ingredient~
Try it sweet. Sugar isn't as harsh as ground nut shells: it melts fast when it hits moisture, so if your skin is delicate, you're probably not going to over-scrub it. The other benefit is the fact that sugar, unlike pumice, ground shells and other insoluble ingredients, will melt instead of sticking in your bathtub drains. Here's what you need to make a large batch:
Sugar cane produces glycolic acid and is one of the natural alpha hydroxy acids that exfoliates the skin.

Face & Body Sugar Scrub
Ingredients
• 1/2 cup sugar
• Enough cold-pressed oil (olive, wheat germ, peanut, corn, or sunflower) to dampen the mixture to your liking
• 1 or 2 drops of essential oil if desired (orange and lavender is wonderful!)
Combine the ingredients in a bowl. Scoop some of the scrub onto your hand and massage gently onto your skin for a minute. Leave on for 3 to 4 minutes before rinsing in the shower.
