Sugar Scrubs

For this blog I will combine a Do it Yourself blog and a beauty related blog.  I will demonstrate how to create three different sugar scrubs, lemon, coffee, and brown sugar scrub. You can use these in the shower or bath, basically they make your legs super smooth, especially if you shave, apply the scrub, then shave again.
Lemon Sugar Scrub:
You'll need one cup of sugar, half a cup of olive oil, one tablespoon of honey, and the juice from one lemon.
Put all these ingredients together a small bowl and with a pestle, (or fork/spoon) crush and mix the ingredients together.  This create a handful of scrub that lasts two or three weeks showering every day.  This scrub also helps to eliminate streaks from self tanners that you may or may not have.
Coffee Sugar Scrub:
You'll need one fourth cup of raw sugar, one fourth cup of ground coffee, one tablespoon of olive oil, two tablespoons of coconut oil, and one tablespoon of sea salt.
Mix the coconut oil and olive oil together again with a pestle/spoon/fork. Mix the solids together the same way then pour the solid ingredients in with the liquids and mix.  This is the same amount of scrub that you will get from the Lemon Sugar Scrub, and if you love the smell of coffee, you'll love the scrub!
Brown Sugar Scrub:
This is probably the easiest scrub because you most likely already have all the ingredients you need right in your kitchen. You'll need one half cup of brown sugar, one fourth cup of white sugar, three tablespoons of vanilla extract, and one and a half tablespoons of olive oil.
Mix all ingredients together at once and crush as you have for the past two scrubs!
Start by using the scrubs just once a week for a couple weeks before using more frequently, you could have an unknown allergy/reaction to the scrubs. Using them too frequently at first can irritate your skin making it red and/or itchy.  As I said at the beginning of the blog, using the sugar scrubs between shaving your legs makes them extremely smooth and smelling great!
I hope you enjoy your sugar scrubs!
