A link back to my gallery or tutorial is appreciated, but not necessary. You can make anything in my tutorials for personal or commercial purposes (yes, that means you can sell what you make) but you can't claim these techniques as your own. No redistribution, reposting or repacking of my tutorials, images, text or any part of them is allowed. They can't be translated to other languages without my permission (ask me about it). FREE TUTORIAL, NEVER TRY TO SELL IT.
This is a really nice and cheap technique a friend of mine taught me. I can't tell you how much I love my sugar scrub!
- I use it before I start to remove cat hair, lint, etc. That way my clay stays clean!
- When I change colors to avoid transferring them.
- When I'm done sculpting so I don't contaminate everything I touch.
- Whenever my hands are dirty (paint, dough, gardening, etc).
- If my hands feel dry in a cold day.
It's wonderful, when you work with clay you have to clean your hands constantly, and after a couple of times they get dry and uncomfortable. This leaves them soft so you never have to worry about that "paper skin" feeling ever again. Highly recommended!
Edit: =moofestgirl has a tip for people with sensitive skin: "I made some of this today, and OH MY GOD! I have SUPER sensitive skin, like any contact with water drys out my hands in an instant, because of that I have resorted to baby wipes. But this is GREAT! I used some sensitive skin dish soap, it's got that Olay mixed in xp And I used baby oil."
Edit 2: ~limbairedhiel recommends: You could try subbing sea salt (or any other coarse salt) for sugar if your worried about ants. Works the same way and leaves skin silky smooth (also helps open pores to get rid of oil).
Theory: The plasticizer in the clay is a mixture of phthalates (not for long, most brands are phasing them out). Phthalates are slightly fat soluble, so the oil will help remove them. I did a test with several oils and I couldn't find a significant difference between oils, they all worked fine. The sugar will do the scrubbing, getting in hard places and getting rid all of those stubborn bits of clay under your nails or in the wrinkles of your fingers. Using only sugar and oil made my fingers feel a bit oily, so I add some liquid soap to the mixture to remove all the extra oil. Everything else is just extra, in case you want to add some benefits to your scrub.

thank you! my partner gets so frustrated especially when working with white he says "but my hands are clean i just washed them and haven't touched anything!" we will have to try this

You are welcome! This gets rid of about 70% of the lint, wearing light colored clothes helps too, but if you are still getting a lot of lint, try using gloves. That solves the problem, but it gets expensive after a while. I hope you guys will like it

O_O I think I love you
I made some of this today, and OH MY GOD! I have SUPER sensitive skin, like any contact with water drys out my hands in an instant, because of that I have resorted to baby wipes. But this is GREAT! This is also a GREAT exfoliating the skin on your face or hands. If you want to use in on your face put some face soap in there instead and use it to get rid of your nasty black heads! I'm going to make a second one for that as well xp Honestly I have never had my hands feel so nice after a wash. I was so excited I washed my hands TWICE! lol
I used some sensitive skin dish soap, it's got that Olay mixed in xp
And I used baby oil. Once I get some E oil I will probably mix them, b/c E oil is EXPENSIVE x.x
Girl, you should come up with a GREAT formula and bottle this. Honestly.

I'm so glad it worked for you! I couldn't stop giggling when I read that you washed your hands twice (you are crazy, my dear friend).
I added part of your comment as a tip for people with sensitive skin xD
I don't think anyone would buy it after I just told them how to do it

This is an awesome idea, BTW, I love all sorts of scrubs. It also scrubs off dead skin cells.

Me too, I love my face scrub and I would use it everyday if that wasn't bad for my skin. It just feels so nice
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, does it irritate your skin? I like the skin scrubs also. I'm also OBSESSED with the facial washes and body washes that have those little bursting beads inside. My body wash has them to moisturize, and my 1 of my morning cleansers has little citrus bursting beads that smell good.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah exfolliating my face too much makes it break out. The rest of my body is fine, only my face is delicate.
I haven't tried a wash with those bursting beads inside, but it sounds like I'll love them too!

It's called Clean and Clear: Morning Burst.

Thank you!
I used a stamping plate for that, it's a sort of stamp. I used Konad's M65. I could make a tutorial about it, stamping nail art is fun and easy

Yeah, I love it when people get creative with nail polish, like using stamps. Or using tapes and stickers to get a shape then peeling it off. One of the things I love, but I need to practice, is marbling, where they put drops of the polish in water, and it spreads on the surface, and they keep doing that with different colors and then finally stick their nail in and it sticks to the nail.
π: 0 β©: 1
I love all of that too, but I'm too scared of trying water marbling. I don't know why I find it intimidating, and I'm sure I'll make a huge mess if I try it. I admire your bravery! I hope you can master the technique soon!
π: 0 β©: 1
It is harder than it looks, the polish does not always spread properly, you need to use filtered water, sometimes bits of the polish stick to the surface of the water, and you can't always see it and they ruin any more drops of polish you put in there.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well it sounds even more intimidating now Oo I've also read that you need nail polish that works,all I have is wet n wild and I think they don't work xD well if I ever try it I'll let you know how it went! Thanks for the advice, I'll be very careful!

There's a bunch of video tutorials on youtube, but it will take practice. and I'd be all GAHHHH I AM WASTING GOOD polish!

Also, I know this may sound strange, but I really like your nails in the third picture. XD
