I found THE single most amazing way to get soft, & I mean SOFT, legs.
I've never thought much about exfoliating my legs, but now I can't stop. I use this scrub most every week now. (and my husband doesn't complain either!) Everyone knows that I love scrubbing my face with sugar in the mornings, (read here) so when I heard this homemade scrub had sugar as the main base, I knew it would be amazing.
Exfoliant:
2 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup oil -- I use a fragranced body oil or coconut oil. You can also use Olive, Vegetable, Avocado, etc.
5 Tablespoons citrus juice -- I used freshly squeezed lemon & lime.
Mix this together!
This recipe MAKES A LOT-- I usually use it on my legs & arms, and still have some left over. You can cut the recipe in half, by all means!

Routine Steps:
They say to soak your legs in a bath, but since I personally think bath's are disgusting because I'd rather not lay in a tub of my own dead body skin & dirt... so I stick to soaking my legs in the shower!
1. Soak your legs in warm/hot water for 5-10 minutes. --This helps open the pores to get a deeper & cleaner cut when you shave.
2. Shave your leg regularly. --This obviously gets the hair off as needed.
3. Take a handful of the exfoliant & SCRUB for 2-3 minutes.
4. Shave AGAIN. --Because you just exfoliated without the hair, it removes all the dead skin cells you never knew you had. Rinse your razor regularly, & you will see why!!
5. Again, take a handful of exfoliant & scrub AGAIN! --Because you have already exfoliated & taken off hair & extra dead skin cells, this final exfoliant will lather the fresh skin to it's fullest potential.
6. Repeat on other leg.
7. Lather with lotion immediately after shower! --This is the best time to moisturize due to the pore's still being open & fresh. I prefer Jergen's. It's my favorite lotion for my skin & the smell cancel's out the oil in the exfoliant.
& then... ENJOY YOUR NEW LEGS!
I loved this exfoliant SO MUCH that I used it on my arms as well! I'm obsessed. Your skin will feel like new & will be the softest it has ever been! Not only your face needs exfoliating!
