You
know those wonderful yet expensive sugar scrubs that make you ooo and
ahh? Did you know you can make them yourself? For cheap and the items
you usually keep in your home at all times! Imagine that! Custom
sugar scrub whenever you want. Now sugar may not be good for you
internally but your skin loves it. Why? It's a great exfoliate that
is gentle yet effective. Its fine texture gently exfoliates the skin
without leaving harmful residue that can clog the pores. Skin
exfoliation removes dead skin cells, dirt and excess oil without
drying the skin. It can help reduce problems with your feet, such as
calloused and cracked heels. It's great for your elbows with calloused skin as well.
