Back when I revealed my new dry-skin solution--putting deep conditioner on my shower pouf--readers like sruggi1, mandabear_heart and GLSD mentioned their creative in-shower uses of baby oil, vegetable oil and olive oil. Genius! I had to incorporate some oil into my own scrubdown routine.
Conveniently, I had a slim mini bottle of oilve oil that came in some gift basket or something, so I just put it on my shower shelf, where it looks cute chillin' out amidst my more traditional beauty products.
You can find lots of cute mini bottles like this at the Container Store!
One day after scrubbing and shaving, I rubbed about a teaspoon of oil on my legs, which tend to be dry and irritated in winter. I rinsed to prevent myself from smelling like salad all day, and the water beaded up afterward, indicating that my legs still had a very thin coating of the oil. What a difference this made! I followed with my regular moisturizer, and I loved how soft my skin felt all day. The only drawback: The oil did leave my shower floor pretty slick (be careful!).
Next time, I'm going to bring in a little cupful of brown sugar to mix with the oil, per mandabear_heart's suggestion for a DIY body scrub. I think kosher salt would be good, too, for those seeking a deeper exfoliation.
