dull skin doesn't stand a chance...

Nothing is sweeter than a full body brown sugar scrub. Previously I've shared my affordable favorite brown sugar scrub by Sephora. After seeing the recipe below though, I may just start to make my own! If that sounds too messy I've come across a few more fun ones you may want to try...

Tone, moisturize, exfoliate and condition the skin with an Organic Brazilian Brown Sugar scrub from Nature Girl.

Exfoliate with walnut and essential oil infused sugar scrubs from The Bubble Roome. Sounds delightful!
And lastly, for a price ($65.00), you can try the cult favorite Brown Sugar Body Polish by Fresh.

Now, if you have an extra ten minutes and the right ingredients you can make your own sugar polish from scratch! I found an amazing recipe for a peach and brown sugar scrub on healthy & green living. If you've been to your local farmers market you'll know that this recipe is so seasonally appropriate as well!

exfoliating sea salt and apricot oil body scrub...

I came across this basic and easy to make scrub from the book "Secrets of the Spas" by Catherine Bardey. Slough off dead skin and leave your skin soft with a hint of apricot...

• 2 cups coarse sea salt
  
• 1/4 cup apricot kernel oil
  
• body scrub tool (I like the tools by Earth Therapeutics for example).

Mix the sea salt and oil into a paste, while in the shower rub on skin in a circular motion from feet upwards (towards the heart). Be firm but not abrasive, after the entire body has been scrubbed use a loofah (scrub tool) to remove salt and rinse. If you feel the need to use a mild wash do so. Pat dry.
