Sweet Vanilla Sugar Scrub

homemade sweet vanilla sugar scrub
I love this wonderful and fragrant vanilla and sugar scrub. I would love to share with you such an easy recipe that you can do your home. Changing my dietary plan, oh! I did not know that it would nothing less than the disaster for me. I was completely immersed in thousands of skin care products. My acne was boosting all along the way. The products were all about the acne-prone due to get rid of excess oil which is the main cause of my skin problem.

After so many tries, I came up with the very surprising thing that oil and grease are not actually the cause of excess oil. It was just because of the dry and flaky skin so the dead cells tend to clog my pores. If I do not work hard for exfoliating my skin on the daily basis so I cannot see any improvement in my skin.

And of course, getting the real food with fats and calcium into my diet would be really helpful along with switching out the toxic beauty products for the safe site. The main thing is controlling your stress which would make the biggest difference in my skin tissues. Include this delicious vanilla sugar scrub in your daily routine. Believe me it is truly an amazing gentle scrub to get rid of dead skin and enhancing the natural glow.
