Homemade Body Scrub Recipes
Make your own homemade body scrubs...
and get glowing with smooth, silky skin!
Set yourself a-tingle with these refreshing homemade body scrub recipes!
Also called 'body polishes' or 'salt glows', these exfoliating body treatments remove rough, dry skin and
unclog pores, leaving you smooth, soft and silky, and smelling wonderful.
(By the way, exfoliating is critical if you're fighting acne - use a home made body scrub at least once a week.)
Handy Hint: Use homemade body scrubs to open your pores before giving yourself any other
body treatment or to prepare your skin for an even tan.
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.
Types of Body Scrub
- Salt Scrub: Fine granulated sea or mineral salt is mixed with a moisturizing 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.
- Oatmeal Scrub: Oatmeal and ground nuts, grains or seeds are mixed with
a carrier oil. Essential oils or herbs may also be added.
- 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.
