I went to the bulk store today to stock up on some things, and picked up some brown sugar. I don't cook or bake so I just picked up a cup or so - just enough for a couple of batches of the sugar scrub.
Well - it was great. I followed the directions and used one Tbsp of brown sugar and one-half Tbsp of olive oil. It was really, really, really thick - which is probably the way it is supposed to be. But I wanted to loosen it up a bit so I added a couple of drops of almond oil - it seemed a better match than rosehip seed oil, the only other kind I have on hand.
I applied the mixture and scrubbed in a circular motion, as directed, and left it on for the 20 minutes. By the time the wait was over I probably had most of it licked off the bottom half of my face - it was so yummy! But enough was left to do the trick - my skin is softer and the scrubbing cleaned out the pores. After trying to rinse it off - I ended up wiping the residual matter off with a paper towel, since I didn't want to spoil a washcloth.
It was definitely a good scrub - and I'll definitely do it again. Thanks for the recipe. Mmmmm.
