1). Mix 3 table spoon equal parts of warm extra virgin olive oil (hint: WARM, not HOT! Mix well to avoid hot spots that might burn) and brown sugar. 

2). Starting with one table spoon of honey, add into your scrub and mix well.  Add more until your mixture becomes gooey.  Depending on the ingredients you use, you can adjust the amount of each ingredient until your scrub becomes the desire texture, a gooey and slightly sticky mix.   

3). Now apply it to a clean and damp face and gently scrub for 1-2 minutes, concentrating on the rough patches.  

4). Wash your scrub off with warm water, and follow with a facial treatment or moisturizer.  Enjoy your smooth skin.    

This can be repeated once to twice a week for best results.
