Exfoliation can be a great way to keep your skin looking vibrant and healthy. A body scrub is a popular way to exfoliate your skin. You can make an exfoliating body scrub using ingredients you likely have in your kitchen.
COFFEE SCRUB
Coffee is still a popular ingredient for many DIY body scrubs. The tiny granules are gentle on the skin, while still being effective at removing dead cells from the skin’s surface.
Ingredients
* 1/2 cup coffee grounds
* 2 tbsp hot water
* 1 tbsp coconut oil, warmed
Directions
1. Add the coffee grounds and hot water to a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly with a spoon.
2. Add the coconut oil. If needed, add more coffee grounds or more oil to get the consistency right.
4. When you’re satisfied with the consistency, spoon the mixture into a clean, dry container.
Another method
Brown sugar scrub
Brown sugar is an inexpensive and accessible ingredient that also does a great job of exfoliating your skin.
It’s gentler on the skin than sea salt or Epsom salt, making it a good choice for sensitive skin. The sugar granules might make your skin feel sticky, so be sure to rinse or wash your skin thoroughly after you’ve exfoliated.
Ingredients
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1/2 cup carrier oil of your choice, such as coconut, jojoba, olive, almond, or grapeseed
* essential oils (optional)
Directions
1. Combine brown sugar and oil in a mixing bowl.
2. Mix thoroughly. If needed, add more sugar or oil to get the consistency right.
3. If desired, add 1 or 2 drops of your favorite essential oil, and stir it into the mixture.
4. When you’re satisfied with the consistency and fragrance of your scrub, spoon it into a clean, dry container.
