Normally
when I think of shaving my legs, my thoughts go something like this:
Today,
however, I saw this pin and decided to give it a try. The pin promises softest, silkiest legs. I love the feeling of smooth, freshly shaven
legs, but I don’t feel that very often.
This recipe is more like a scrub than a shaving gel.
Scrub:
2 1/2 Cups
of Sugar
-1 Cup of
oil (I used coconut oil)
-5
Tablespoons of a citrus juice. Preferably fresh squeezed. (I used lemon)
Directions:
-Soak in a
hot bath for five minutes
-Shave one
leg.
-Take a palm
full of your homemade sugar scrub and scrub that leg and then rinse off.
-Shave the
same leg again.
-Take a palm
full of sugar scrub and scrub your leg again.
-Repeat on
your other leg.
-After your
bath, dry off and then lotion your legs.
When you
shave your leg the first time, obviously, it's going to remove the hair. When
you scrub after you shave, it removes any dead skin. By shaving your leg again
after you use the sugar scrub, you are getting all of that dead skin off of
your leg. You will need to rinse your razor frequently (you will see why).
When I did
this, my legs felt really smooth. That being
said, I have little red bumps appear about a half hour after I got out of the
shower. My skin is slightly irritated,
but it’s silky to the touch.
I don’t
think I will ever use this recipe again. It did what it was supposed to, but
bothered my skin too much. The little
red bumps are starting to itch as I am typing this.
