body scrub?

[Ragga_Wh0re]

i need.
what are some kick ass ones?I hate lush so any of their products are out of the question.

i use sugar. i dont go out and spend a shit tonne of money on them cause there is no point. bring a bowl of sugar into the bath with you, grab a handful, only get a few drops of water in to make a paste and scrub away. it dissolves fast so you need a bit. it works just as good as anything over the counter and is all natural.

^ That doesnt leave a residue on your skin or anything? Sticky?

[Ragga_Wh0re]

like brown sugar???or white sugar??I dont even use sugar at home.

not at all - no residue. it just rinses off.
i use normal grain white sugar. dont use brown - you will smell like a pancake all day. while hot in some cultures not in mine.

you can wash with soap after, but that is risky biz. when you exfoiliate, your pores are open and prone to clog. you can use an astringent after to close everything up. but putting toner all over is tedious. vinegar works as a natural toner and restores your skins ph. this will stop breakouts and regulate your skin a bit better. they say it is healthy to do this once a week.

you shouldnt be exfoiliating your body more than 3 times a week. skin like sandpaper is not hot.

over-doing it. break outs dont just happen cause your skin is oily - they can happen when your skin is super dry too. cut down to once a week. sunburns will cause break outs too, generally about 6 weeks after.

this might be an asshole move(sorry) - try a bigger bra and washing it after each use.

you can wash again after the vinegar, but you are somewhat undoing everything you just did. do it on a sunday night before bed and use a moisturizer you like after.

i love kiehls. i think it is some of the best product you can buy next to la mer.

but.....

i have never been a skin product person. make up and hair, oh yeah, but never skin. i am pretty fortunate and have fantastic skin. i suffer from dry skin once in a while, but i dont get break outs or anything like that. i do have sensitive skin but once i find one product, i stick with it. natural stuff is always ftw.

besides, i would rather pay $3 for a bag of sugar that lasts me 8 months, then $20 for a bottle of exfoiliant that i get four uses out of.

Avana's right, sugar is the best way to go. You can even use it on your face and lips (especially in winter: I take a Q tip, roll in it vaseline and then dip it in sugar to rub dry skin off my lips)

Summer tip: If you have any bad fake tanner incidents add lemon juice to the sugar and you will be free from the burden of looking orange!

further to this - if you are concerned about it smelling pretty, buy an essential oil and use that in your sugar paste. i use tea tree oil, i also use that oil on my break outs when i have them.

it is my fave smell.

^pretty sure my whoriness was a birth defect.

I wish quantum hydrox made a body scrub i love their face products.It seems like I have better skin in the winter and in summer time everything goes fucking haywire.I think it might be the material of my sports bras that are irritating my skin,theyre like lycra or something and doesnt breathe at all.Anywhore, Im going to buy a big bad bag of sugar tonight and try it out.
