Aromatherapy Body Scrub Recipes
Make your own body scrub...
and give yourself smooth, silky skin
Set yourself a-tingle with these refreshing aromatherapy body scrub recipes!
Also called 'body polishes' or 'salt glows', these exfoliating essential oil skin care treatments remove rough, dry skin and
unclog pores, leaving you smooth, soft and silky, and smelling wonderful.
(By the way, exfoliating is critial if you're fighting acne - use a body scrub at least once a week.)
What's So Great About Body Scrubs?
Believe it or not, scrubbing your skin actually benefits your health.
In addition to being great for your skin, body scrubs are good for you on more than one level. They...
- Detoxify your whole system (which helps keep you healthy.)
- Stimulate blood and lymph circulation,
which helps fight cellulite and tone skin.
Plus, there's nothing like a good scrub to wake you up and get you 'plugged in' to your own body.
Handy Tip for Using Body Scrub Recipes
Use homemade body scrubs to open your pores before giving yourself any other body treatment or to prepare your skin for an even tan.
Types of Body Scrub
- Salt Scrub: Fine granulated sea or mineral salt is mixed with a moisturising oil and, if you're lucky, essential oils or herbs.
- Sugar Scrub: Same as salt scrub above, only using sugar instead of salt.
Sugar may be mixed with a cream rather than a carrier oil.
- Loofah Scrub: Uses cream and a loofah.
- Fruit Scrub: A mix of crushed seeds, fruit oils, oatmeal and other edible products to nourish the skin.
Caution!
Don't use body scrubs if you have fragile, broken or sunburned skin, or if you have cancer or a fever.
If you have allergies, make sure you don't put anything on your skin that you wouldn't put in your mouth.
