Home Made Scrubs

I do home made scrubs - try a little say sugar or salt with your fav shower gel - if you dont smell or feel some huge chemical reaction on your hands - make a 500gm pot of this say

400gm sugar or salt
100gm shower gel

Use salt of sugar as you please - salt has antiseptic properties & use coarse suagr of salt progressively form the fine kind as you wish for more exfoliation action. the mixture is not a hard & fast 4:1 - its really up to you.

My slimming scrub: ( I took this idea from US magazines - Celebs do it too even with rolling pins for extra anti cellulite function)
coffee for brewing - get those really cheap ones SGD $3+/500gm kind

mix abit at a time or all at once
250gm coffee powder
100gm sugar fine or course
mix some in a plastic bowl/container with just abit of water & massage into wet skin,
Massage helps circulation, Coffee & sugar particles help exfoliation.circulation
Caffeine helps prevents cellulite - aids fat burning (alternative to caffeine slimming pills)
Sugar helps to mask - draw out impurities from the skin
Leave on if you can for about 5 mins - shower off - finish off with shower gel or soap as you wish.

REMEMBER to shower off with soap/shower gel & rinse your shower walls or bath properly to avoid feeding the ants!
