Body Scrubs
May 16, 2009
Natural body scrubs are safe to use on the skin and are your best option for long term use. They help keep skin smooth and supple. Scrubs may be classified as wet or dry.
If the scrub is dry, a few drops of water can be added to create a paste before applying it to the body. Calendula, castor oil, olive oil, lemon, turmeric, glycerine, and chamomile are some of the ingredients used in scrubs. Below are some recipes that can be used to create body scrubs at home.
Recipe 1: Take a quarter cup of rolled oats and add a quarter cup of milk powder. It may be any kind of milk powder, whether goat milk or buttermilk.
Add one tablespoon each of sea salt, cornmeal and powdered rose petals. Blend all ingredients together in a food processor and add an essential oil that you like while blending.
Recipe 2: Mix two tablespoons of citrus blend, one tablespoon of almond oil, one tablespoon of powdered apricot kernels, one tablespoon of turmeric powder, one tablespoon of glycerine soap and one teaspoon of sandalwood oil with a little bit of water. This scrub is particularly effective on the face.
Recipe 3: Beat four tablespoons of rice flour together with half a mashed pawpaw and a few drops of orange oil. Apply this mixture to the face in an even layer using light circular motions.
Let the scrub rest on the face for a maximum of five to ten minutes. Then rinse it off and apply plant oil to maximize the results. This scrub helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Recipe 4: Melt together one teaspoon of castor oil and half a teaspoon each of beeswax and apricot oil. Remove the mixture from the stove and add one tablespoon of almond powder and one teaspoon of sea salt. Then add two teaspoons of baby shampoo to create a wonderful scrub.
Recipe 5: For this scrub take half a punnet of strawberries along with four tablespoons of rice flour and mash together well. Apply this scrub in light circular motions to the face. Do not leave the scrub on your face for longer than 10 minutes. After rinsing, use plant oil to moisturize the face. This scrub is a great antioxidant.
