I have to admit, I am a sucker for expensive cosmetics and face scrubs are one of the many things I have always spent money on and have always been disappointing with. Yesterday, I asked a few ladies on Twitter about what they use for face scrubs and their answers ranged from overly expensive department store brands to simple solutions such as brown sugar. 

I am so tired of using up the last drop of my expensive name-brand scrub so quickly, I turned to Pinterest to find the answer--couldn't hurt could it?

I am forever grateful that I did!

With just 3 ingredients, this face scrub is by far the best I have used so far! I have modified it a bit so that it had the right consistency for myself, you can do the same if you'd like.
Here's the trick:
-add 2 tbs brown sugar into a small jar and pack down with a spoon so that it is tight
-pour 1 tbs olive oil over top and wait for it to settle
-mix and pack once more
-add 2-4 drops vanilla extract and wait to settle
-mix once more and pack again.

(i doubled this recipe)

The best part is, you can make this anytime with simple ingredients found in your kitchen! Use sparingly or once a week to remove your unwanted dead skin!!

You can thank me later ;) Enjoy!
