Hi there fashionistas!


Want to get skin that dazzles like a vampire in the sunlight? Well look no further than your kitchen at home! Here is my favorite recipe for the perfect facial scrub *whispers* and by the way, all of the Cullen men love this too and don't let them tell you different! *winks*


Oh Sugar!

Here is a fabulous at home Sugar scrub you can make and enjoy once a week. The best part...it's effective and inexpensive! To have a well rounded exfoliator you need to have two major components:
1) A physical exfoliator to remove the build up of hardened dead skin cells on the surface. (Gross fact: at any given time you have up to 40 layers of hardened keritinized dead skin cells)
2) A chemical exfoliator such as an Alpha Hydroxy Acid or enzyme to go deeper than the physical exfoliator and eat away the dead skin cells.


Ingredients: (enough to make for face and body)

1/2 cup of sugar (physical exfoliator)
1/2 a lemon freshly squeezed (chemical exfoliator/ Alpha Hydroxy Acid)
1 cup of Olive Oil (acts as an emulsifier and moisturizer)
Directions:
Mix ingredients together in bowl
Apply exfoliator with fingertips using soft circular motions. Continue massaging in circular motions for 30 seconds keeping away from eye area.
Leave on face for 3 minutes so the Alpha Hydroxy Acids can thoroughly exfoliate (it makes a great 3 minute mask!)
Rinse and moisturize.


...repeat the same directions for body.

See ya next time!
