Anyone who buys sugar scrub is retarded. It's one of the easiest things in the world to make and cheap as hell. I would also include a good quality liquid soap if you want your scrub to also be cleansing (instead of JUST moisturizing). But that's just me.

WTF is sugar scrub?

Happy Hours: WTF is sugar scrub?

Whenever I mix salt and sugar 50:50 with a little olive oil, I end up rubbing it on my meat.

I am so glad I'm not a woman.

Happy Hours: WTF is sugar scrub?

WTF is "backpage"?

No, I don't want no sugar scrub, a sugar scrub is a scam that can't get no love from me. Hanging on the Backpage side of the internet's worst side trying to holler at me!

I add water, a couple of bay leaves and fresh thyme to brine chicken or pork.

Actually she seems to be one of the few making some money in that market.

And a quick perusal of Google image search leaves me lusting.

ALL OF THESE THINGS! WTF AM I READING???

Subby has been listening to too much Def Leppard. Stop it.

St_Francis_P: Happy Hours: WTF is sugar scrub?

I dunno but I think it causes the diabeetus.

My roomate used this crap and later that day the shower was filled with ants.

I read the headline as sugar shrub and thought sugar now grows on shrubs?

I imagined sugar cubes dangling on a bush.

Slightly disappointed that there is no such thing.

/No, I'm not.

Apple cider vinegar for pork is lovely.

Sugar scrubs are a nice cheap way to pamper yourself.

1 teaspoon argan oil

Sugar scrub. Not to be taken internally.

Used properly, it could be antiseptic. Osmotic action would suck anything but the skin dry and kill it, the way honey stays fresh.

Of course, a dunk in seawater and letting it dry before showering off the salt should do the same.

casual disregard: And a quick perusal of Google image search leaves me lusting.

I dunno, that smarmy headshot of her on the blog made me want to hit her with a brick.

I used it to scrub my cast iron skillet, but it didn't do crap!

What the hell is backpage?

This is the second time I've heard of it. The first was a human-interest piece that PRI did on underage. forced prostitution rings here in the States where young runaways are all but kidnapped and whored out for pimps that advertise there.


/The more you know

I can't take anyone serious that dresses like this:

That's a ton of oil that she's only using for fragrance. A dozen drops or so will do you, not an entire freaking teaspoon.

That's either too much info, or not enough info. I'm not sure which...

And lots of undercover cops thanks to the media attention

Buy sugar in the raw. If you also like, add Kosher salt. Use a bit of the table sugar you have hanging around. Buy a big, cheap bottle of olive oil, and make sure it's plastic. Pour some out (or use it to refill one in your kitchen), grab a funnel, and dump your sugar/salt into theolive oil. Shake it up. The stuff is just right if you must shake it- it should come out in clumps.
You could add fragrance oils, but just plain essential oil goes further. You can even use a blend. Sometimes I make small batches and put it in tupperware, to make each a different type.
Eucalyptus oil is great to make a sore muscle stub. You can put it in the tub, too. JUST BE CAREFUL WITH OIL SO YOU DON'T SLIP!
I use one with lavendar for night showers, de-stressing, sinuses headache.
I use another with lemon oil for zits, or the way I break out from sun exposure my first few days on the beach.
Another I've made with sandalwood or patchouli or vetiver and then only use a light soaping, then use a bit of that essential oil for my perfume.
Orange, lemon, and if you can get it, grapefruit makes a great wake-me-up scrub for the morning.
Your skin will love the extra attention, and it's great for a pre-shave for all of your areas- face&body. Takes off that extra skin that hampers a smooth glide of your razor.
Once you have acquired the initial ingredients, you can make batch after batch for very little $. Compare Bert's Bees- $12- or so for 8oz of scrub.
Another variation is poppy seeds for the texture, or even cumin if your heart desires.
You can keep stuff you only use occasionally in the fridge, or to keep for a refreshing scrub.
But, you can keep the stuff right in your shower, too- I've never had any go bad.
And I pay pennies eventually, after an initial outlay of less than $50 for everything including an essential oil or two.
And with the essential oil, get an empty or a used pump spray bottle, fill it with distilled or plain old tap water, add a few drops, shake, and presto! Super-cheap room spray! Lemon and lavendar have antibiotic properties that can kill odors in clothing or furnishings like a febreeze. And it's cheap as shiat, and easy to make, and it has no preservatives, no chemicals.

It's how you make gravlax, among other things.

Doesn't seem to work.

It's not worth fighting about.....

I've been making this stuff for years... except mine's a little more involved because I do crazy herbal infusions but...

(Add chamomile, it's great for bad skin.)
