Brown Sugar Yogurt Scrub

Get your skin ready for spring with a delish DIY scrub.

After a long, snowy winter, the sun is starting to make a comeback.

But are your legs ready for exposure?

We asked celeb makeup artist Brett Freedman, founder of Vanitymark cosmetics, for the easiest way to slough off dry winter skin. Freedman regularly works with starlets like Jessica Biel, Camilla Belle and Vanessa Hudgens.

His exclusive Brown Sugar Yogurt Scrub recipe uses two ingredients you already have in your kitchen.  "Yogurt contains lactic acid, a natural skin exfoliant that helps jump-start cell turnover," he says. "And brown sugar is gentler than your usual salt scrub."

Ready to get the softest skin ever? Try this today:

  1. Mix 1/2 c. plain or vanilla yogurt with 1/2 c. brown sugar.
  2. Massage on dry skin in the shower until sugar dissolves. Rinse off.
  3. To really seal in moisture, slather skin with sesame oil after your shower. "It's not greasy and absorbs almost instantly," says Freedman.

Grin and bare (leg) it.
