Homemade Sugar Scrub

[Dria El]

O.K., folks. Get ready for almost unbelievably soft skin (even
for those of us with older skin).

The other day I was speaking with Larry Pleasant, CEO of The
Vermont Soapworks, and he mentioned that he and his staff had
spent the morning testing homemade sugar scrubs, and that
everyone was commenting on how incredibly soft their skin felt.
Aware that sugar cane produces glycolic acid, one of the
natural alpha hydroxy acids that exfoliates the skin, I was
immediately curious about his recipes. Click here for how to
make your own sugar scrub:

Thank you SO much for that link. I tried it just now and could not BELIEVE the results. At first I thought the smoothness was just from the oils, but my hand isn't oily in the least, and it's still really really soft.

This is exactly what I used:

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn oil
maybe 1/2 teaspoon aloe from an aloe plant
6 drops lavender essential oil

My skin feels amazing. Thank you so much! :D

I am soooo there! Thanks for the report on it! I hadn't tried it yet but I'm definitely making some (and adding it to the BOS!) soon!
