HOW TO: Homemade Sugar Scrub



Sugar scrubs are a great way to get rid of dry and dead skin cells.  Why spend tons of money on all these chemical peels and all "natural" scrubs when you have your own sitting right inside your cabinet at home?!  Homemade scrubs are a cheaper alternative and I always find them fun to do!  I like to use white sugar but you can always switch that with brown sugar if wanted.  Get prepared to enjoy amazingly soft skin! Lets get into it!


Ingredients:


-2 tbsp Sugar
-3 tbsp warm water




Preparing the scrub:


Be sure that you are using warm water, not scorching hot!  Stir the sugar into the water until it is all melted.  If not fairly all melted, it could be a little harsh on the skin!
Apply to your face.  Focus on the dry areas or any that you wish.
Massage this gently all over your face.  Don't rub too hard! 
Rinse with warm water until all of it is off your face. 


All done!


Tips:


-Tie back hair.  I always manage to get this in my hair and of course it sticks!
-Have a damp wash cloth handy in case you get this in any unwanted places.  It's sugar, wet sugar... enough said!
-You can also apply this to elbows or knees.  Try this in a shower!
-Keep an empty, clean container handy.  In case you have any excess to store.
-Apply a moisturiser when done to seal in all the goodness!




Have fun with this and try your own homemade scrub!
