Olive Oil Suger Scrub

     I found the idea on pinterest. With that being said I have tried a couple of things already and they are really hit or miss. This was defiantly a hit! I wasn't happy that it left my legs initially feeling super oily but couldn't complain about the results the next day. Soft silky legs and not just for a few hours but for the next day also!!


   It honestly didn't look promising, but it works!


Scrub:
2 1/2 Cups of Sugar 
1 Cup of oil-I used vegetable but any fragranced body oil you have works
5 Tablespoons of a citrus juice-I used lime juice



 Go Time:
-Draw you a warm/hot bath
-Soak for about five minutes or longer
-Shave one leg 
-Take a small scoop of your homemade sugar scrub and scrub that leg and then rinse off 
-Shave your leg again- the same leg you rised off 
-Take a scoop of sugar scrub and scrub your leg again. 
-Repeat on your other leg. 
-After your bath, dry off and then lotion your legs. 

When you shave your leg the first time it removes the hair. When you scrub after you shave, it removes any dead skin. By shaving your leg again after you use the sugar scrub, you are getting all of that dead skin off of your leg. You will need to rinse your razor frequently also I suggest sitting on the side of the tub as the water gets kind of gross. It does not need to be refrigerated although should be kept in a tupperware container. Thanks Gluten Free Navy Wife
