Good body exfoliant

Mix 1 cup brown sugar and about 1/2 cup olive oil (can also use grapeseed, sweet almond, anything you have on hand) and break open one capsule of vitamin E

mix together and use as a body scrub. DO NOT STORE THIS, use immediately or separate it up into individual use containers and store in the fridge for a short period of time. Once water is introduced to the product (in the shower or just moisture from the bathroom) bacteria will grow.

Works nicely and will not sting like salt scrub if you have a few cuts.

Coffee + Honey Face Scrub

Absolutely amazing face scrub! I got this idea from Michelle Phan and just changed it around a little. I can't get over how good my skin looks and feels. >_<

I did not do any specific measurements - just went by eye. You will need:

Instant Coffee Crystals or left over coffee grinds
Honey
Any Kaolin/Clay based powder mask
Fix+ or just some water

Grind coffee crystals with a mortar and pestal until the pieces are finer. Transfer them to a bowl and add a few teaspoons of the clay mask. Add honey until you get a thick paste.

Now you can spray your face with Fix+ which is what I did or just use moist fingertips to work the mask in circles all over your face. You can wash it off straight away or let the mask sit for 5 minutes. After removing the mask apply your toner, I use Mario Bedescu Glycolic Toner and moisturize. I used Biotherm's Hydra-Detox cream.

The result AMAAAZING, glowing skin >_<
