1.- Naturally invigorating"sweet vanilla" Body exfoliant
ingredients
1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
2 tablespoon of olive oil or canola oil.
1 tablespoon of vanilla yogurt
instructions
Tip1: I use this scrubbing just before taking a shower so I can clean the exfoliant and there is no much mess.
Just combine the sugar, olive oil and vanilla yogurt.
Put like a tablespoon of the mixture on the palm of your hand and start massaging the mixture on your legs, beginning with the ankle and going up all way to your thighs.
With more of the exfoliant mixture continue scrubbing on the dry and hard parts of your skin that you have problems with, for example the knees and elbows.
Keep scrubbing the mixture on your legs, arms and torso for about 10-15min. Some redness is normal.
I really like the fact that your skin ends smelling like vanilla, don't you think your skin would be irresistibly kissable, so after the sweet vanilla exfoliant use a fragrance free body wash or soap.
Tip1: I would not recommend this exfoliant for the skin of your heck and face because this type of skin is very sensitive and the grains of sugar are to abrasive to the face and neck.
Tip2: Like I said before, some redness is normal given the scrubbing but if your skin starts itching or hurting stop the exfoliation immediately and wash with warm not hot water.
Tip3: I really recomend that you get a body wash or soap free of toxic chemicals, harmful ingredients or fragrance(perfum)so your skin is its best naturally.
All started with this video the story of stuff/cosmetics. i was surfing the internet for evidence that support the banning of the use of bottle water, then i found the story of stuff series videos. i became a fan. I really like this video because it shows all the toxics and chemicals the cosmetics and personal care products have. All of this stuff is making us sick and it should not be this way. The video also shows the reality of the cosmetics industry and how the big cosmetics and personal care products corporations get away with putting so many toxics in their products. Their argument is that the amount of toxics is tiny. But if you add all the tiny bits of toxics from shampoo to the make-up and hair straighteners, all can add to a substantial amount of toxics. Also, you have to add the fact that we put them in our bodies every day. I really got mad at the end of the video because the cosmetics and personal care corporations are getting away with putting carcinogens (substances that have been proven to cause cancer in animals and most probable to cause cancer in humans) in our products and cosmetics. This is not right. So the first step is to realize and be a very well informed consumer for the good of your health and the health of your family.
