I "invented" a skin scrub yesterday: brown sugar with a dash of lime juice and just enough water to make it into a paste. Used it on post-sunburn skin yesterday, followed by CVS aloe lotion, definitely helped immediately, and the skin today looked a lot brighter and was healing better. Just used it on my face, worked it in gently for about a minute and rinsed REALLY well. My skin is super sensitive and prone to clogged pores; no other face scrubs really help, they just cause breakouts, even the "gentle ones." Will see how it looks tomorrow.
Stored the leftovers in the fridge to avoid ants. Will see how it holds up.
Sugar scrub
2 tbsp brown sugar
Juice from 1/4 small lime (I used a key lime)
Enough water to make a paste that won't drip (a few drops worked for me)
Use as a body scrub or face scrub. I think that rubbing gently, but for a few minutes in trouble spots, seems to be better than aggressively scrubbing for shorter times.
