Smooth and Sweet

I spent a year studying abroad in Argentina. When I arrived, I was itching to know all of the beauty tricks that the girls there loved. I tried a lot of things that they swore by some of them worked, others required me to spend about three times as long on my hair to achieve worse results than my previous routines–but the one thing that I really fell for was a simple exfoliator. My tutor swore by sugar and olive oil. You mix the two in a bowl and use it to exfoliate your skin. The sugar sloughs off dead skin and the olive oil locks in moisture. I’m not sure what it does to the drain but it leaves your skin feeling amazing. Sugar is a little rough so if you’re looking for something to use on your face then I would try this instead.

What beauty concoctions do you swear by?
