You
can buy sugar scrub products or make your own at home. Many
lines such as Davies Gate, Jaqua Girls, Fresh and many others have
wonderful fragrances.
Following
is the basic recipe. You can use in the whole body (not on the
face) or in specific trouble spot such as feet, elbows, legs (helps
to improve chicken bumps), hands or back.
1/2 cup of salt preferably sea salt
1/2 cup of
cold pressed vegetable oil. You can use any light oil though we recommend almond or apricot oil.
Optional 15 drops of essential oil. Use your favorite essential
oil. Lavender essential oil is one of the most common and classical
essential oils but you can use any aroma you want.
Apply to wet skin
You can use your hands or a shower glove or a loofah to scrub all over your body
Avoid any cuts or delicate areas. Remember do not put salt in a cut.
Do not exfoliate if your skin is irritated for any reason including sun burn.
Be careful not to fall down due to slippery floors.
Follow with body lotion, if you think you need it. Eliminate the residues with water. Apply your favorite body oil or lotion if needed. Your skin will feel a little oily if you use thick oil; otherwise, it will feel soft and most people will not need additional moisturizer.
