- Go to your kitchen, grab white sugar and a bottle of oil (olive, grapeseed, coconut, etc.) and bring them over to your sink.
- Working over the sink, scoop about 1/4 cup of sugar into one hand, then pour a little oil over it. (There's no exact ratio needed here; start with less oil and add more if you prefer.)
- Mix the oil and sugar together between your palms to form a gritty paste.
- Rub the paste all over both hands, front and back, paying special attention to knuckles and any other areas that are extra dry. A circular motion is especially effective.
- When you're done, rinse and dry.
To make a body scrub, increase the recipe and use in the shower. For a scented scrub, add a few drops of extract or essential oil. And for safety, be sure to wash the oil off the floor of the shower when you're done.
