Body Scrub

I like using turbinado sugar (also known as ‘raw sugar’) for its thick texture – it’s an ideal exfoliant without being too harsh and leaves skin feeling silky smooth. It also combines well with oil. If you prefer something softer, you can opt for regular sugar (cane sugar/white sugar) or brown sugar (which is even softer/softer than cane … Read the rest
