The Benefits of Homemade Body Scrub

Homemade body scrub offers a range of benefits that go beyond simply exfoliating the skin. Here are some of the main advantages:

Better absorption of bodycare products: after exfoliation, your skincare products, such as moisturizers and oils, will be absorbed better, as they won't have to penetrate a layer of dead skin cells.

Stimulation of circulation: massaging the scrub onto the skin helps to stimulate blood circulation, contributing to overall better skin health.

Cleaning of clogged pores: The exfoliating action helps to prevent clogged pores and the onset of acne, promoting cleaner skin free from impurities.

 

 

Homemade body scrub: easy recipe ready to use 

 Here is a simple recipe to prepare your homemade body scrub:

 Ingredients:

  •  Cane sugar or sea salt (1 cup)
  • Coconut oil or olive oil (half a cup)
  • Preferred essential oil (10-15 drops, optional)

 

Steps:

  1.  In a bowl, mix the brown sugar or sea salt with coconut or olive oil.
  2. Add the chosen essential oil to add a pleasant fragrance and beneficial properties to the skin. Among the most common choices are lavender for relaxation or citrus for energy.
  3. Mix all the ingredients well until you achieve a uniform consistency.
  4. With damp hands, gently massage the scrub onto damp skin using circular motions. Focus on the drier or rougher areas.
  5. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and gently pat the skin dry with a towel.

 

Tips for a perfect use of body scrub  

Here are some tips that will help you achieve great results with your homemade body scrub. 

Choose the ingredients carefully: in addition to the basic ingredients, you can customize your scrub by adding ingredients like honey (for its antibacterial properties), oatmeal (to soothe sensitive skin), or yogurt (for extra hydration).

Frequency: exfoliate the skin once or twice a week to avoid irritation. The skin on the face is more delicate, so choose a gentler scrub or exfoliate less frequently.

Hygiene: keep your scrub in an airtight jar, in a cool and dry place to maintain its integrity and free from contamination.

Avoid sensitive areas: avoid using the scrub on the delicate area around the eyes and on cuts, open wounds, or irritated areas of the skin.

After the scrub: after exfoliation, apply a moisturizer to seal in moisture and nourish the skin.

 

Taking care of your skin has never been so rewarding and affordable. With a homemade body scrub, you can enjoy the benefits of natural ingredients and a spa treatment right in your shower. Experiment with different combinations of ingredients to find the one that works best for you and give your skin the love and attention it deserves.
