Make a Homemade Hand Scrub


This home made scrub will help in removing dead skin cells and leave you with soft, touchable skin. Apply this on hands and feet to achieve that soft, great, smelling skin.

Preparation -
-Mix half cup of sugar, 3 table spoons of olive oil, and 3 table spoons of water in a container until fully blended (no lumps, etc).
-Add a few drops of your favorite scent to the sugar/oil/water mix and stir (optional).
-Apply mixture to your hands and rub in a circular motion until you feel that you have achieved your ideal skin softness. Do not rub more if your hands start to hurt or burn (No worries, this is probably not an allergic reaction to any of the materials, but instead from the rubbing of the grains of sugar).
-Wash your hands with water until you can no longer feel the grains of sugar.
-Towel dry and apply lotion, if you wish.
Tips: You can use brown sugar, salt, or sand instead of regular sugar.
Warnings !
Do not rub any further if skin starts to burn.
Do not use hot water, else the sugar will dissolve and become sticky and will lose it "scrubbing ability".
Probably you don’t want to use this on your face and/or any other body parts, other than your hands and feet. :)
