RE: Olive Oil and Sugar Scrub
I've been an esthetician for over six years and we have used this scrub at my place of employment for as long as I've been there it is great for your skin however not for use on face! I do not recommend putting it on the face even if you rub gently because the tissue on your face is thinner and more delicate it will cause premature aging and puts you in a higher risk of sun spots and even skin cancer because of the agents in the olive oil when its under your skin as with any oil type product the sun is attracted to it. I recommend keeping it on the body everyone.

Do you need to use "virgin" Olive oil if it is your first time?

I used this last night before I went to bed, it's wonderful, unfortunately I apparently got some in my hair and woke up with ants crawling all over me. A truly horrible experience. Luckily they're just little sugar ants and don't bite.

How long can I keep any that is left over? I assume it's okay at room temp.

Could this be used as another home remedy for controlling eczema?

RE: Olive Oil and Sugar Scrub
Does the olive oil scrub also work on the face? I'm just wondering if it will make the face even more oily :S

To make a smooth texture, melt sugar with the olive oil in the mircowave. Let it cool and spread on face. Let it dry on face for 10 min. and rinse. This is your Glycolic acid.

RE: Olive Oil and Sugar Scrub
What's the difference between extract and oil? What's the difference between carrier oils and essential oils? I'd like to add scent to this but am confused by all the descriptions. Thanks, Andrea

RE: Olive Oil and Sugar Scrub
I love the way the olive oil leaves my skin feeling smoothe and soft and the sugar removes the oily dirt from my face. I just love it

RE: Olive Oil and Sugar Scrub
i finally tried this today! i used it before the soap... i just put about equal amounts of extra virgin olive oil and sugar together... i used the soap after because i dont like the oil left on my skin.. It left my skin soooo smooth! I should've tried this sooner.. the St. Ives stuff makes me breakout constantly...

Why didn't you all tell me that olive oil smells ? It stinks I don't want to put it on my face :(. And its not cheap either. :(
Editor's Note: It may be that your olive oil is rancid. Good quality olive oil has a light scent but doesn't smell bad.

I have a question... Do you use the olive oil scrub before or after the soap?

RE: Olive Oil and Sugar Scrub
i tried this today and it was kinda hard to wash off the olive oil. are you supposed to use soap to get it off or just wipe it off?

RE: Olive Oil and Sugar Scrub
If granulated sugar is too hard on your skin, put it in the food processor for a bit to make it smoother. I use 1/2 cup of sugar, 3 Tablespoons of olive oil, and 3 tablespoons of liquid soap, liquid body wash or shampoo. I have oily, sensitive skin, but this doesn't bother it at all. It's great as an all over body scrub.

I make one similar. I use a mixture of Baby Oil w/ Aloe Vera & Vitamin E and sugar using the exact same measurements you have. It makes your skin feel really smooth and you smell like a baby.

RE: Olive Oil and Sugar Scrub
This is so strange as last night before I went to bed, I decided to use my sugar grapefruit body scrub on my hands. It felt so good. While in bed, I came up with the cheap idea of sugar and olive oil. Figured olive oil must be good for the hands too. Here I thought I came up with something and it's already around. Thanks for making me realize my thoughts are good! `````` Michele, if the scrub is too course, add water and mix in your hands before using it on your body. It'll soften up immediately, dissolving the crystals.

RE: Olive Oil and Sugar Scrub
I have a question about this...I have tried this before with sugar and body wash...but the sugar was too coarse...is there any way to make the sugar more fine so it's less abrasive?

RE: Olive Oil and Sugar Scrub
I have seen this recipe often and finally tried it. It works great. I live in Arizona where the air is very dry so I love it for my face too!

Olive Oil and Sugar Scrub
Ingredients:- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp of sugar (depending on how thick you want it)
Directions:
This is a very easy sugar scrub. Just mix olive oil and sugar in a small rubbermaid bowl with lid. Keep it by your kitchen sink and use it after doing the dishes. Gently rub it into your hands and cuticle, rinse with warm water. Works on dry feet too. A lot cheaper than buying some fancy scrub with a lot of additives and perfumes.
