Summertime is coming! It's time to get your skin summer-ready with glowing skin.  Exfoliating your body is important in maintaining soft skin.  During the summer, you wear shorter skirts, shorts and bathing suits that reveal your skin.  There is nothing worse than cracked dry skin in the summer!  Simply adding lotion will only enhance the appearance of dry skin, you need to scrub away the dead skin before applying moisturizing products.  The best place to exfoliate your body is in the shower.  I typically use a bath lilly, some people may use bath gloves, both methods ensure that you will get a great treatment.  Below I have three scrubs that would be heavenly during the summer! Coffee for a great morning pick me up, coconut and ginger for a soothing spicy scent and lemon and lemon, a sweet summer smell for any summer occasion.   Simply, run your shower and wet your body first, then take a small tablespoon of sugar scrub and massage it into your skin starting at the ankles.  Apply in a circular motion and add a tablespoon for each section of your body.  Finally, rinse! Apply a great moisturizer and see how brilliant your skin looks!
