Well most of us know that EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) is used for cooking. BUT did you know that EVOO has other uses as well? About two weeks ago I discovered that you can use EVOO to make homemade sugar scrubs to exfoliate and moisturize your skin. I started using another brand of EVOO other than Filippo Berio but I made a batch of lilac scented sugar scrub with Filippo Berio last night and I have to say I love it so much better. The smell of the EVOO didn't overpower the frangrance that I mixed with it.
I know this campaign is mostly about the health benefits of switching to EVOO for cooking purposes but I had to share this use also. Because I guess in a way this is a health benefit for the largest organ of your body - your skin.
I have to give this "recipe" 5 stars.
Brown Sugar Lilac Body Scrub
1 cup brown sugar (sometimes I use 1/2 cup brown & 1/2 cup white granulated sugar)
1/2 cup of Filippo Berio EVOO
10 drops of Lilac Oil (or your favorite scent)
