That Sunny Glow
Say goodbye to dry, dull winter skin. Literally!
The tools:
- baby oil
- bar of Ivory soap
- loofah mitt
I got this tip from Lola Red about shedding drab skin and revealing your inner glow. Hollywood starlets have been doing it for years, and here I am to share the secret. (DISCLAIMER: This may be a cheap trick, but it can be incredibly messy!)
I have never done this but, when my kids and husband are out of the house for awhile I will break out the Loofah and maybe go for the shower instead of the tub. I dont want to have to scrub the tub for hours afterwards as it brings back to many memories of taking a bath after my mom soaked in Baby Oil. I was 12 at the time and jumped in the tub when she was finished to wash my hair, unfortunately when I went to dry it, all of the left over baby oil was stuck to my hair. I had to hurry as we were going to a wedding and didn’t have time to rewash it, my mom said it looked fined. But, when I looked in the bathroom mirror at the reception it looked like I had not washed my hair for weeks. It was devastating and I refused to take baths for 3 years after that. I stuck to showers and rinsed multiply times! Today, I just stay away from oil period in any form in my tub! Not just because of the hair thing but I now fear slipping and killing my self in the tub!
The trick:
1. Fill your bathtub with hot water.
2. Place a towel on the floor next to the tub.
3. Strip down and load your body with baby oil.
4. Dip the Ivory soap and loofah into the water, then rub together to coat the loofah with the soap.
5. Standing or sitting on the towel, start at your feet and scrub every inch of your hot bod until your skin is pink. (You will obviously want to load up the loofah with Ivory numerous times during the process.)
6. Once you have scrubbed to the max, slide into the warm tub and watch the dull, drab skin slip off! (Note: The bath water will be disgusting. You, on the other hand, will be a stunner!)
7. Slather yourself with fab self-tanner for some faux glow!
