One of the most effective skin cleansers is scrub. With its help, dead cells, dirt and dust are removed, which invariably accumulates on it throughout the day. The skin cleansing procedure itself is called peeling. A scrub consists of a base to which abrasive particles are added (e.g. coffee, salt, crushed peach stone). The most effective are cooked scrubs at home. Firstly, their main advantage is the natural composition. You can use the products that you have at home. Secondly, you can always experiment using various recipes, which we’ll talk about now.
How to make a body scrub at home
No matter how you try to cleanse your skin and put it in order with the help of toilet soap or shower gel, you are unlikely to succeed. Try peeling at least once, and you will feel a huge difference. Here is a recipe for home body scrub:
- You will need natural, insoluble finely ground coffee. When taking a shower, mix coffee with gel and apply on skin. With massaging movements, begin to rub the mixture over the body, paying attention to all areas. You can do otherwise: do not throw out the remaining coffee grounds after tea drinking, but mix with a small amount of honey and apply on the skin. Start massaging, working out each cell with gentle movements. Then take a normal shower and look at your skin: it has become smooth, delicate and very soft.
If you decide to cleanse the skin of the body, then you can try to cook and such a scrub. Very effective, I will say right away.
- Take a glass of sea salt. Add a tablespoon of jojoba oil and two tablespoons of almond oil. Mix everything well, and then add another drop of twenty orange or lemon oil. Apply the finished composition to those parts of the body to which you decide to pay your attention.
Home scrubs for face
The face is most exposed to the environment. It suffers a lot from cosmetics. A scrub, properly prepared, will help rid it of dirt, open the pores that cover the scales, and remove dead cells. Remember that face peeling can be done for oily skin no more than three times a week, for dry - one or two, normal - once. You can make such scrubs at home for your face right now.
- Grind oatmeal in a coffee grinder, but not powder. Add to them the same amount of cream, you can use milk. Mix the mass well, let it stand for thirty minutes. Apply the finished scrub to your face, massage for fifteen minutes and rinse with warm water.
- With eggshell, do the same as with oatmeal in the previous recipe. Then add to it a teaspoon of flour and sour cream, as well as one egg yolk. Mix everything, apply on face and massage.
Pay attention to the fact that a scrub is applied to the face, avoiding the areas around the eyes. The skin here is very sensitive, so peeling can irritate it.
- Take a tablespoon of sugar, add the same amount of honey to it. Apply the finished, well-mixed mass to the face and begin to massage with gentle movements.
Of course, ready-made scrubs can be bought at the store. The choice is very large, it will not be difficult to purchase what suits your skin type. But I still tend to the fact that home scrubs are the best option. It’s not the first year that I cleanse my skin using coffee and my face using oatmeal. I am completely happy with what result I get after peeling. Of course, the choice is yours. But still I recommend learning how to cook scrubs at home. It's worth it.
