| | Olive Oil Sugar ScrubHere is the recipe I use to make my Olive Oil Sugar Scrub. It is very good for dry skin and acne. Also, it helps heal blemishes too and retains natural moisture in your skin. No the olive oil will not clog your pores. Ancient Greeks used to wash their faces with Olive Oil and Italian women swear by this natural miracle product.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons of EXTRA Virgin Olive Oil - Must be extra virgin, not virgin olive oil or regular olive oil and for goodness sake you cannot slather on frying grease on your face...are you crazy?!
1/2 cup of Granulated Sugar - I swear if I hear one more person asking me if they can use splenda instead I will slap a hoe!
2 tablespoons of Honey - Any honey is fine, and if you are allergic to honey, DO NOT use it! Substitute it with aloe vera.
Mix it all together in a plastic container with a lid (that way you can save the rest for next time).
The mixture should not be too liquidy, oily or grainy. It should feel mushy, depending on what honey, sugar or olive oil you have. It should have a mushy consistency.
Wash your face with your regular cleansers.
Then apply this mixture on your face, evenly exfoliating your skin. The sugar will remove dead skin cells and the olive oil and honey will nourish your skin keeping it moisturized. I say leave this treatment on for 2 minutes.
Wash your face with warm water.
Pay dry and treat and moisturize your face.
Your skin should not feel slippery or oily, if it does you added way too much olive oil. It should feel soft and moisturized. You should automatically see a glow in your skin due to the honey and olive oil.
I use this treatment everynight. It is very natural and light and works great for all skin types.
TIPS:
You can also use this treatment as a body scrub!
Leave the mixture in the plastic container out. Do not refrigerate it or else the olive oil will solidify.
Goodluck and I hope you enjoy this cleanser as much as I do.
Until next time.
