Is this a good exfoliant for my legs?

i love making my own remedies. my favorite exfoliating scrub is 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 2 tbsp. of olive oil and 1 tbsp. of any extract, my favorite is vanilla. mix all ingredients, jump in the shower, wet your skin, mage the scrub into your skin and rinse. the sugar removes all the dead skin and all that remains is soft skin from the olive oil.
