Exfoliating Scrub For Silky Smoothest Legs

Did you know you are supposed to exfoliate your legs? I always assumed that the very act of shaving your legs was exfoliating enough. Oh silly me! Turns out exfoliating before you shave sloughs off any dry, dead skin, so you can get a closer shave, and ultimately, smoother legs.

When I saw this idea for a pre-shave leg exfoliating scrub I knew I had to try it. Now I feel like I’ve been missing out all these years! I couldn’t be happier about discovering this stuff. After using it, I would venture to say my legs have never felt softer or smoother. No kidding. The recipe is super simple. The most challenging part for me was actually finding time to take a bath! Well, unfortunately I never did find that time, so I made do and used it in the shower instead. I’ve never really been a fan of shaving in the bathtub anyway, so this worked well for me.

Exfoliating Scrub For Silky Smooth Legs
Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup oil (I used olive oil, but you can use any oil, coconut oil, baby oil, canola oil, etc.)
• 3 tablespoons citrus juice (lemon or lime) OR 20 drops Lemon Essential Oil

Directions:

1. Start by mixing all the ingredients together. I put mine in a mason jar and just shook it all up.
2. Then I transferred the mixture to a plastic squeeze bottle for easy application.
3. Soak your legs in the tub for 5 minutes. Or if you’re taking a shower, wash and conditioner your hair first, then after your legs have had a chance to soak for a few minutes, apply the mixture to your legs and rub it in. I was surprised at how good this felt! I ended up using it on my feet and arms as well! The abrasiveness of the sugar rubs off all the dirt and dead skin, the lemon juice (or lemon essential oil) works as a mild skin peel, revealing brighter, smoother skin, and, of course, the olive oil penetrates deep into the skin and provides long-lasting moisture.
