A sweet and inexpensive way to exfoliate your skin is raw sugar.
The dead skin cells come right off! Use it in the shower as an all over body scrub and on your face for a clean, glowing complexion. Don't forget your lips. It's a great way to say goodbye to dry chapped lips. Three times a week, plain or mixed with lemon juice for that extra kick of Vitamin C. A natural, no preservative, no additive, easy way to shine. |
