Brown sugar +coconut oil=wonderful!

Why do I mention brown sugar on a health blog you may ask? It's true that we should avoid astronomical amounts of brown sugar in our diet. Sugar just makes me feel shaky and sick inside.  But something beautiful happens sugar is placed on your skin. Oh yes.

I've read online and in a few books that sugar can be used as an exfoliator for your skin. I haven't bought face wash for months to avoid the chemicals I've intended to do this and just haven't. After a particularly rough few days I decided I wanted to pampered myself so took some time to mix some brown sugar and undefined coconut oil together and I washed my face.

Oh the joy I felt as my face got washed! It was so nice!

The sugar exfoliates while the oil moisturizes. This scrub can be used on hands or feet too.

I just mixed 3 parts sugar to one part oil and rubbed it on my skin. Then rinsed it off.
Let me know if you try it!

I've heard that honey can be used to detoxify your face. I on occasion use sea salt and honey to scrub my face. That too feels great. And it helps with break outs.
