Ok, so it doesn't have to be done for a special date or a special occasion, I just call it this way because you get immediate results and you always feel like you're ready for something special.
Basically, it's a very organic body scrub which includes only 2 ingredients:
- lemon juice (or fresh lemons)
- sugar
In the kitchen...
grab a bowl in which you mix together some sugar and lemon juice. For a whole body scrub I'd say 10 tablespoons of sugar and 5 tablespoons of lemon juice should be enough. In case you need less, just use less. You need to test it out yourself to see how much you really need. The point is to avoid making it too liquidy, sugar should dominate more.
In the bathroom....
take a regular shower and then using this mixture scrub the desired areas. Make sure you avoid scrubbing bruises, scars or any sensitive areas! The good thing about sugar is that it's not harsh; therefore, it does not irritate your skin, while lemon juice has antibacterial properties and acids which help with exfoliation.
Then just rinse it all off with some water. You will immediately notice how soft and smooth your skin feels, it's amazing! However, do not do this scrub every day, you know it's only for "special occasions", over exfoliation is not sexy! haha!
So have fun with it!!!! Thanks for stopping by at my blog!
EXTRA TIP: shave after the scrub because it will make the razor glide so much easier and shaving will also be more effective.
