Beautilicious Week - Day 1 - Glow Even In The Dark...

Body Exfoliation...

Let's allow ourselves a small treat every single day, for the next 7 days, starting today with an easy exfoliation that will leave your skin so supple and flawless that you'll be stroking your own bod this evening. 

This is such an easy exfoliant to make and all you need is Almond Oil & Sugar, You can use caster sugar, white refined sugar, or brown sugar - whatever you have or whatever you prefer. You are going to use this for your whole body so you will need roughly 5 tablespoons of sugar and half a cup of almond oil. (If you're hair free, fabulous, if not - no biggy because you'll be smooth after anyway) Put the sugar first in a small container or a bowl, and then add the almond oil to it. If you have Olive oil, it is just as good for your skin and can be used instead.

Take this mixture into the bathroom, stand in your shower cubicle/bathtub - whichever you're having, and without dampening your body massage this exfoliant into your whole body (so you should be dry and massaging this mixture into your skin). Concentrating on your heels, your knees and your elbows working from your feet upwards. Exfoliate towards your heart and try to keep your movements in circular motions to create blood flow. You'll be sloughing away your dead skin cells and bringing forth fresh skin.

This should take you about 15 mins - rinse away, have your normal soap and clean with your shower gel and when you're out and dry you may want to moisturise with a little more almond oil, or a nice body butter to lock lots of moisture into your skin. 

You're skin will be refreshed and revived and will be thanking you this week for giving it it's glow back.
