Create your Perfect Homemade Body Scrub in Minutes!

Homemade body scrub is an excellent way to keep your skin looking and feeling healthy, young and vibrant.

No longer are scrubs used only on facial skin. Indulge your whole body with the healing and revitalizing properties of a body scrub. It will give you the lift you need!

Why Use a Homemade Body Scrub? 

Homemade body scrub is not only used for its sensual enjoyment, it is an important part of an overall healthy skin care routine.

Our bodies are constantly creating new skin cells and sloughing off the old ones. A homemade body scrub, like any body scrub, removes the dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, allowing the new, younger skin cells to come to the surface. This is why your skin looks healthier after using a body scrub.

Homemade body scrub also stimulates and improves the circulation, bringing natural body oils to the surface. Scrubs open up the skin's pores and helps eliminate uncomfortable ingrown hairs. Used 3 to 4 times a week, you will see a significant difference in the way your skin looks and feels.

Why Make Your Own Homemade Body Scrub? 

Have you ever struggled to find just the right body scrub in the store only to be disappointed? Now, you can experiment and create your own combination of ingredients to get just the results you have been looking for. And making a homemade body scrub is easy to do! Customize the mix anyway you want it to find the perfect combination of properties.

Oh, and did I mention that they are cheap to make?

Invest a few dollars into brown sugar and a few essential oils, and you're good to go!

The Basic Ingredients of a Homemade Body Scrub 

A homemade body scrub consists of some very basic things: a gritty substance for exfoliation, a cleansing liquid base and an essential oil for moisturizing and aroma. Other ingredients can be added for other additional properties. Try a few recipes and then when you get the hang of it you can mix and match and create your ideal homemade body scrub.

Enjoy a Brown Sugar Homemade Body Scrub without Gaining Weight! 

I am sure that when you think of a homemade body scrub, you first think of BROWN SUGAR BODY scrub. And, you're not alone! Brown sugar body scrub is the most popular body scrub around.

I promise, your sweet tooth will not act up when you use your homemade brown sugar body scrub, as long as you don't sneak a taste while you're making it! Here are the ingredients:

2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground oats (grind with food processor or coffee grinder to a sandy consistency)
2 tablespoons aloe Vera gel
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon almond oil (in case you don't have almond oil, use olive oil, it is a great substitute).

Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl until it forms a paste. Use after a shower and apply to moist skin using a circular motion. Rinse your body with warm water.

Other ingredients to include in Your Homemade Body Scrub 

Each ingredient you choose to include in your homemade body scrub has certain properties and will produce particular results. Some ingredients when combined together will do something altogether different.

Some possible ingredients that exfoliate the skin include sugar, salt, poppy seeds, ground coffee among others. The base often used is olive oil or vegetable oil. Vegetable oil should be avoided if you have oily skin. And of course essential oils create the scent you love. The possibilities are endless.
