HOMEMADE BODY SCRUB CAN BE MADE CHEAPLY FROM YOUR KITCHEN
Homemade body scrubs are only as expensive as you want them to be, and they give you leeway to choose the best ingredients at minimal cost. You can also make them to your taste and preferences, from the comfort of your kitchen. Practicing how to make homemade body scrubs will help you understand your beauty routines at home, as and when you want it, using fresh ingredients, which do not have any chemicals or preservatives.
Body scrubs help get rid of dry, scaly and flaky skin. You can scrub your skin once every three weeks, although there are several precautions to bear in mind. Do not, for example, scrub when you have skin rashes, acne, or sunburned skin, as doing so might make the condition worse.
The best thing about homemade body scrub is that you can choose your favourite fragrances, control the granularity of the scrub, and avoid ingredients that you may be allergic to. You can make a big pot of body scrub with minimal expenses. On this website, we give you recipes for a number of homemade body scrubs, which use cheap ingredients available at home, and which are friendly to your skin. All you will need is, a spoon, a bowl and a container for storage.
Tomato And Rice Scrub
Tomatoes make good body scrub for people with oily skin. Take four tomatoes, chop them finely and then puree them. Soak some rice for 30 minutes and then grind it coarsely. Add this to the pureed tomatoes. Apply all over your body and leave it on for about 20 minutes, then wash off with warm water.
Orange And lemon Peel Scrub
Do not throw away orange and lemon peels. Dry them thoroughly till they are brittle. Keep them away from sunlight while drying. Pound them until they are powdery and store them in a jar.
Take two tablespoons of the dried peel powder, two tablespoons of wheat bran or porridge flour. Add a half-tablespoon of honey and a little milk to make a coarse paste. Before a bath, rub this all over your neck, arms, body and legs, using rough circular motions. This will help exfoliate dead skin. Then wash off in lukewarm water. This is a wonderful body scrub and so easy to make at home and the effects are immediately visible.
Sugar-based body scrub.
Sugar is not as harsh as groundnut shells, which are used in some commercially made scrubs. It melts fast when in contact with moisture, so if your skin is delicate, you are probably not going to over-scrub it. The other benefit is that sugar, unlike pumice stone, which can be rough, or ground shells and other insoluble ingredients, which may stick in your bathtub drainpipes and therefore does not clog drainpipes.
Here is what you need to make a batch of sugar-based body scrub. Mix light brown sugar or white sugar, with a piece of avocado, toasted sesame oil and honey, to smooth the mixture. Add an essential oil in form of freshly ground ginger or vanilla. Mix oils into the sugar slowly, stirring to keep the consistency smooth. Stop when you can form the mixture into a slightly wet ball without it dripping through your fingers. You could also add lemon juice into the mixture.
You can also substitute coarse salt for the sugar when making this body scrub. You may decide to add cocoa or coffee for a chocolate or mocha body scrub. And for a fantastic smell, you can add some vanilla. Mix salt or sugar with a piece of avocado, apricot and unsweetened cocoa. Then add vanilla extract and honey for smoothing the texture.
Use this scrub all over your body, using gentle rotating movements to scrub off dry skin. Apply more pressure on your soles and palms and other areas like elbows, which may be too dry. Wash off the scrub in a shower or bathtub. Your skin will feel smooth and soft.
