It’s
very easy to make SUGAR SCRUB at home, but before starting with the recipe of
the Sugar Scrub, I would like to brief you little bit about what scrubs are,
what they do and how they benefits our skin.
SCRUBS are very important to get nice healthy
glow on skin. They not only add glow to our skin but also help in removing the
dead layer of skin and thus helping in exfoliation. Rubbing of scrubs on our skin, removes the
dull outer layer resulting in a very soft healthy looking skin.
Scrubs
are of different kinds like SUGAR, Papaya, Walnut, Apricot, and Nutmeg, Salt
etc. made of different fruits and vegetables according to different skin types,
oily, dry and normal. Choosing the scrub depends on your skin type and need.
Like WALNUT SCRUB is amazingly good for ACNE SKIN. Also Tea Tree oil scrub works well on acne
and sensitive skin. Almond Oil one is good for dry skin. But all scrubs perform
the common role of removing dead layer of skin and thus making skin extremely
soft.
But
what if we could make our own HOMEMADE SCRUB. Yes it’s very easy to make a
natural safe scrub and takes only few minutes. Home Made scrub is best for
sensitive skin since it contains all natural ingredients and no chemicals thus
making it very safe to use on all skin types like dry, oily normal, and even on
sensitive skin types. I am making Sugar
scrub because it’s good for all skin types and does not harm them. So let’s get
started.
Ingredients required to make HOME
MADE SCRUB using SUGAR as a Natural Exfoliant.
Sugar
(You
can use any-brown or white, but if you have acne or sensitive skin, I would
highly recommend to go for Brown Sugar, since it very much gentle than the
white one.)
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
You
can use any light oil like Olive oil/ Coconut Oil but I would suggest using
EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL, since it’s good for all skin types and does not even
harm pimple or acne prone skin by aggravating acne.
Essence/ Essential oil of your
choice. (Optional)
This
part is optional but if you want to add some divine fragrance to your homemade
scrub you can add few drop of vanilla essence, Lemon oil or any other oil o
your choice to delight your senses.
I
would suggest following oil according to the skin type.
Tea
Tree Oil - Highly recommended for people with acne prone skin. Add few drops of
tea tree oil to your homemade scrub if you suffer from acne or pimples since
tea tree oil is very good for acne.
Lemon
Essence/Oil - Good for all skin types, especially acne but not sensitive. Lemon
Oil can be used on all skin types except sensitive skin.
Avocado
Oil - For dry skin. Add few drops of this oil if you have dry skin.
Vanilla
/ Strawberry essence – General essence to add fragrance to your scrub and to awaken
your senses.
METHOD
Take
1 cup of Sugar. Grind sugar into fine
granules so that it’s not harsh on your skin. I have grind this sugar leaving
just few thick particles for stubborn areas exfoliation.
Mix
half a cup of Extra Virgin Coconut Oil to a cup of Sugar and mix it nicely.
Keep stirring it till you get a smooth paste.
Keep mixing.
Finally
your scrub is ready. If you want a little thin scrub then add little more oil
to it and its done.
APPLICATION
Apply
sufficient amount of this HOME MADE SUGAR SCRUB to your body, face, arms, neck,
feet, legs and massage it for few minutes. Be very gentle on sensitive delicate
areas like face, neck, armpit and a little tough on stubborn areas like nose,
elbow, knee, which require a little strong exfoliation but don’t be harsh at
all. Massage for few minutes and then rinse with cold water and pat dry.
