We all want to look young and attractive, so we go to great lengths to pamper ourselves in spas and purchase products that promise to give us a beautiful glow. One of the best products that can provide us with a lot of health and beauty benefits is a body scrub. These scrubs are commonly sold in stores or you can make your own homemade body scrub from ingredients commonly found in the kitchen. I am sharing one the recipes worked really well for me. I find scrubs work best on dry skin.
Ingredients:
Sugar
oil (Preferably coconut oil)
Essential oils for fragrance(Optional)
Loofah mitt (Optional)
- You want 1 part of oil and 2 parts of sugar. Mix with a spoon. If you want your scrub to smell divine, put 5 drops of an essential oil into your mixture.
- Take a spoonful of the mixture into your palms or your gloves and then rub the mixture all over your body in a circular motion.
- For tougher areas such as the knees, soles and elbows, spend extra scrubbing time On places like the chest, neck, and stomach, where the skin is thinner, Be gentle.
- Once entire body is scrubbed well, rinse thoroughly.
- Pat skin dry. The Sugar should have exfoliated your skin nicely with the help of the loofah and the oil should leave skin soft and moisturized. Apply moisturizer is required.
- If you have sensitive skin, you might replace sugar with brown sugar
- Sugar can be gentler on the skin, so I prefer sugar. Make sure to choose small granules that won't tear/hurt skin.
- If you don't have a loofah mitt, don't worry, you can use your hands.
