Heya Bloggers,

Today I am going to do a review on 'Exfoliating gloves' 
GIRLS! These are a must have in your bathroom! Seriously they work wonders. I also use a home-made exfoliator whilst using these gloves. You can check out my blog for that on my page! 

These gloves are basically like normal gloves but they have tiny beads of hard material on them which removes dead skin cells from your body leaving your skin feeling soft & supple. I noticed it also gave me a glow. For those of you who fake tan you should purchase a pair of these. They cost as little as £3. I bought mine in pink (because I LOVE pink) but these are available in most colors white being the most common.

Just simply put these on whilst your in the shower or bath. You can use them with or without exfoliating scrub. Scrub your skin in circular motions all over your body. Put them on the side of the bath to air out and dry after use.

Vaseline isnt recognised as a good beauty product very much. I mean you won't exactly find it in glossy beauty magazines. Vaseline (petroleum jelly) is mostly known for use on chapped lips or around your nose when its sore! But I discovered Vaseline has many other benefits for the skin. Vaseline makes an excellent scrub when mixed with sea salt and really leaves your skin feeling touchably soft & smooth. Also I recently took to covering my face with vaseline before bedtimes and I noticed when I wake up in the morning I look really refreshed and my skin looks like glowing and healthy whilst also making it really soft! Vaseline also acts as a primer which you can use before applying eyeshadows and it really helps to make the eyeshadow appear more vibrant. Another thing I use Vaseline for ALL the time is when im dying my hair and eyebrows! And it works wonders it acts as a barrier protecting your skin from the dye so that it doesnt stain. Love it♥

Vaseline is also great for tidying up those messy eyebrows and making those stubbly eyelashes thicker and longer over time.

Now my last and favourite trick for Vaseline is this one!
Alot of people didnt know I use Vaseline on my teeth before pictures or like videos and stuff. The reason for this is because Vaseline tastes GROSS! So it reminds me to smile and I dont want to shut my mouth so if your wondering why Im kinda smily in my tutorials now you know! Also Vaseline helps to temporarily fill in gaps in your teeth. Sounds far-fetched doesnt it? But seriously it actually works. I only use this method before pictures of course on one of my teeth which has this annoying gap at the side!Grr you apply it in layers and it gradually builds up until the gap is completely covered but WARNING it tastes vile!

  Okay so we all LOVE to exfoliate our skin. It's a must, we have to get rid of those dead skin cells! Whether its before tanning or just in general we need that super soft silky skin. But what exfoliator to use?! Thats the question alot of dolls get stuck on.

There are so many different brands nowadays it's hard to pick which one to use. Sometimes your out of money and then your stuck with loads of dead skin cells. But dont worry I have the perfect exfoliator which you  will swear by once you try. Alot of people wrinkle there noses when I tell them I use OLIVE OIL,LEMON & SUGAR scrub but they LOVE my super soft skin. 

I came across this in my kitchen. YES my kitchen I was just about to apply fake tan and I always exfoliate prior to use but I had NO exfoliator left and this was at night so I couldnt go to the shops. I bustled around my kitchen and found this perfect combination. I added the lemon to the mixture to add a citrus smell to it (and lemon is also good for getting rid of skin impurities). I always apply when Im in the bath or shower and really work it in and then wash it off.


The olive oil is really good for mosturizing dry skin and adding shine. The sugar granules scrub and remove dead skin cells and the lemon helps to get rid of impurities in skin.


So how to make it:


1) Five tablespoons of olive oil into a small tub or bowl
2)Add 4 tablespoons of sugar and mix well
3)Add a teaspoon of lemon and mix again
4)Place a small amount in your hands and work over the area scrubbing in well
5)Rinse off with warm water and presto you have super soft exfoliated skin
This is just to make a small quantity of it. If you want to fill a tub like I did below then just use your own inititive to fill it with the olive oil and sugar. But REMEMBER always more olive oil than sugar and this time 4 tablespoons of lemon juice.


This scrub can be used all over the body and is an organic way to scrub yourself down for a small price!And your skin is going to feel SUPER soft. Leave comments and tell me if you've tried it or if your going to try it and what you think of it. Muahz ellzMelendezLDN

If you put in a tub like this you can make larger quantities and keep it preserved so that you dont have to keep making it over and over again! Use an old tub and ensure it has a lid. You can keep in a normal place like a shelf or cupboard just dont keep in a fridge as it will go hard and crystallize.


 Soak in a hot bubbly bath to really open them pores!


Using a teaspoon, spoon some of the exfoliator into your hands.


Work the exfoliator into your legs scrubbing well and then rinse off
