Barring that, I do like to mix a big handful of sugar with almond oil and a few shakes of essential oil (lemon, orange, lavender, whatever) and work myself over in the shower with the water turned off. I don't do that nearly enough, and instead soap up one of those nylon scrubby sheets that you can get at Asian supermarkets. It works very well and is expedient, but does seem to lack the decadence and massaging effect of a salt or sugar scrub. <br /><br />xoxo --<br />M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-46481718863294927782012-01-06T21:39:00.071+01:002012-01-06T21:39:00.071+01:00That simple yet brilliant little machine is not to...That simple yet brilliant little machine is not to be found in the USA!
