Still head- over -heels with self-tanners, I was taken aback when I found out that I have no more body scrub! (scrubbing is an essential procedure prior to application of self-tanners). Sweet Jesus, how can I forget that in my shopping list? Frugal mind to the rescue!
Rummaging through the pantry, even my next solution is gone- olive oil. Not giving up, I turned to my last hope- brown sugar mixed with my body wash. Why not?

In my previous blog (DIY: Sugar Body Scrub), I wrote that sugar is a good exfoliant as it gently sloughs off dead skin cells. Other alternatives would be ground coffee or salt. For this quickie DIY, I opted to use brown sugar.

| Recipe: Mix 10 Tbsp Body Wash of your choice + 8-10 tbsp sugar. Adjust accordingly. The key is you should feel the granules when you scrub against your skin, but not to the point of scratching you badly. |
Mission accomplished! Happy skin, parading in tan once more.
