✿ DIY BANANA BODY SCRUB ✿

[kammiesandwich99]

I just tried this and my skin feels amazing!! I really recommend it to everyone!!

[Brinzdhillon]

Awwww ur soo cute n kind n innocent look :)))

[heyustabbedme]

Is the vanilla extract just for smell?

[v0larevia]

why do you need to add vanilla extract? is it just to make it smells yummy?

[KateLou86]

If you have acne prone skin does the sugar in the scrub break you out? This sounds amazing and I want to try it :D

[xantho00]

This really does make your hands feel really soft,I made some today!

[AccordingToKristyn]

you are soooo cute!!

[ABOABOish]

ur beautiful n lovely house

[jessreyes5]

Just subscribed to both your channels...LOVE your videos:)

[LauraTweedTV]

WHY DOES MINE ALWAYS TURN OUT BROWN! x(

[Mixdplate]

This is a lot faster and body friendlier than making banana bread! Thanks!

[rebeccamariexo]

can you use it for your face?:)

[iheartmyshoes88]

I should try this next time i have over ripe banana's, would of before but the bananas i had got turned into chocolate chip banana bread.

[kjducusin]

Why do you need vanilla extract? How does it treat your skin? I thought vanilla is only needed if you're actually going to eat it. I guess it makes it smell better but I don't get why it's necessary.

[10KewlPerson10]

or you could make milkshake and drink it!!!

[ganda4life]

This is something I would like to try!

[hoohoocat71]

YAY! I have all of those ingredients!

[AprilAthena7]

@hoohoocat71 YAY!

[azleahsimple]

@AprilAthena7 are you filipino ?

[10Saraah]

please do a hair care routine video ! :)

[AprilAthena7]

@10Saraah Sure. :D 

[VanessaBo6]

Can we use this on our face ? ^^ 

[RileyJoelle]

I tried this, took me 5 minutes to make, if that. Great video! So helpful! Thank you for the idea :)

[YoDudeMandy52797]

Can i use it on my face? :)

[Jezzikah22]

@YoDudeMandy52797 yes just with finer sugar if u have sensitive skin, and maybe add some olive oil

[AprilAthena7]

@YoDudeMandy52797 Yes you can if you like. :)

[brobrigirl]

what can you use as a subsitute for the sugar?,

in other words..

what can you use in place/instead of granulated sugar??

[AprilAthena7]

@brobrigirl You can use brown sugar. :D

[brobrigirl]

how long will the scrub last?  will it go bad?

[AprilAthena7]

@brobrigirl I recommend only one day.

[brobrigirl]

@AprilAthena7 thanx:)

[rebeccakelsey]

[K3chocolate]

Nice! I like quick diy videos!!

[AprilAthena7]

@K3chocolate Thank you! :D

[lexi11isasoccergeek]

using salt might be better because it helps clear skin of acne

[LuvinTheAznLife]

I literally just finished my last banana. D: lol

[swtcarmel1]

nice! I bet that would be even better with some honey and olive oil!

[JasminAngali97]

[Hamsterlina1512]
