Homemade scrub recipes

They have a number of advantages: they practically do not cause allergies, act gently, and do not injure the skin. Usually they are made based on those products that are always in the kitchen, less often - from the contents of a home medicine cabinet.

Among the most popular components:

• oatmeal;
• sugar;
• coarse salt;
• ground coffee (a scrub based on it should not be used often; it is completely contraindicated for thin and sensitive skin, since the particles are very hard and can scratch the skin);
• rice and buckwheat crushed in a coffee grinder;
• soda;
• Activated carbon;
• crushed aspirin tablets;
• ground herbs.

The components are selected depending on the skin type. For example, aspirin and salt will help dry out inflammation and reduce the activity of the sebaceous glands, sugar is best used for dry skin, and oatmeal is a universal remedy.

Cream and fermented milk products, honey, fruit pulp, and oils are used as the basis for the scrub. You can use natural soap, preferably creamy or liquid. Again, the composition is selected based on the characteristics of the skin. This way you can give the scrub additional properties to use it for nutrition, moisturizing, relieving inflammation or peeling.

Depending on the consistency, a homemade scrub can be:

1. Dry, in powder form. Can be stored for a long time; before use, a small amount is diluted with water, milk or oil or applied dry to damp skin.
2. Hard ones are usually made on the basis of solid natural soap.
3. Liquid or creamy, which can be used as a scrub mask. Prepared in portions, for one time.

The benefits of scrubs

Regular exfoliation helps remove not only dead skin cells, but also particles of cosmetics and impurities.

With regular use:

• the skin breathes, is saturated with oxygen and nutrients;
• blood microcirculation improves;
• the complexion is evened out;
• the surface of the skin becomes smooth;
• inflammation goes away;
• the functioning of the sebaceous glands is normalized;
• pores are cleansed and become less noticeable;
• skin looks more well-groomed and clean.

Skin micromassage allows you to activate metabolic processes. As a result, cells absorb skincare products better and are restored faster. Improves elasticity. The scrub eliminates peeling, softens the surface, and evens it out.

Contraindications

In order for the product to bring maximum benefit, it must be used carefully. For example, for thin, dry, sensitive skin, it is better to choose soft exfoliating ingredients - ground cereals, sugar. It is worth giving up salt - it will draw out the remaining moisture from already dehydrated cells.

Even the most gentle scrub cannot be used if:

• there are open wounds, scratches, microdamages on the surface;
• there are purulent pimples;
• there are foci of severe inflammation;
• the skin is too thin - there is a risk of injury;
• the sebaceous glands are too active - mechanical stress will enhance their work;
• have any skin diseases - so as not to spread infection to undamaged areas.

A scrub is not at all a means of daily cleansing of the skin and a replacement for cleanser. It is not used often: 1-2 times a week for oily skin, once every 7-10 days for normal skin, no more than once every 2 weeks for dry and aging skin.

In addition, you should adhere to certain rules that will help improve the effect of the product:

1. Before using the scrub, you must remove makeup and steam your facial skin with hot water or a warm, damp towel. This will allow you to cleanse your pores better and deeper.
2. It is better to apply the scrub along massage lines.
3. Do not press hard on the skin so as not to injure the cells.
4. If the composition contains moisturizing or nourishing components, you can leave the product on the skin for 5-10 minutes.
5. Rinse off with warm, non-hot water. To close the pores, at the end you should rinse your face with cool water.
6. If your skin is prone to dryness and irritation, you should immediately apply a moisturizer or at least spray thermal water.
7. Immediately after washing off the scrub, you can apply a nourishing mask or cream - in this case, they will be absorbed faster and better.
8. It is better to scrub the skin in the evening: after the procedure, the epidermis becomes sensitive to ultraviolet radiation, which can lead to skin burns.
9. You should not apply decorative cosmetics for several hours after the procedure, so as not to clog the pores.

If it contains honey, use it with caution and only if there is no skin reaction to it. To do this, apply a drop of honey to your wrist and see if the skin turns red within 20-30 minutes.

5 recipes for homemade scrubs using different ingredients

Do not prepare a large portion of the product at once, especially if you are making a homemade scrub for the first time: firstly, it is unknown how the skin will react to it, and secondly, even in the refrigerator it can deteriorate in 1-2 weeks. Choose those components that suit your skin. Below are some of the most budget-friendly and hypoallergenic options.

For oily skin

In this case, you need to use components that normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands, soothe, and prevent inflammation. It would be good if the composition contains an absorbent or deep cleansing component. Extra hydration won't hurt either. Dry powder scrubs based on ground herbs, rice flour or salt are suitable for such skin. You can do this:

• sea ​​salt - 1 tbsp. l.;
• rice flour or ground rice (an adsorbent that will absorb excess sebum) - 2 tbsp. l.;
• dried herbs ground in a coffee grinder (chamomile, celandine, yarrow, green tea, you can take an anti-inflammatory mixture) - 1 tbsp. l.

Mix the ingredients, store in a dry jar, or directly on the bathroom shelf. Before use, take out a small amount with a dry spoon and apply to damp skin. For easier and more uniform application, you can dilute with water to the consistency of thick sour cream.

For normal skin

Almost any components will do. For example, you can take a teaspoon of ground oatmeal and cosmetic clay, a tablespoon of light oil - peach, apricot. For intensive nutrition, you need to take jojoba oil. To whiten and increase elasticity, the liquid part should be replaced with orange juice (in the absence of allergies), and for an anti-inflammatory effect, take green tea or chamomile decoction.

For dry, aging skin

What is needed here is a gentle effect combined with moisturizing and nourishing ingredients. As a base, you can take sour cream or heavy cream (1 tbsp), add half a teaspoon of honey and olive oil. For direct exfoliation, you can take sugar, ground almonds or oatmeal - the amount that will allow you to achieve a thick, creamy consistency.

Universal scrub for all skin types

Ground oatmeal or rice - as an exfoliating base. If you grind buckwheat, you get a product with a high content of antioxidants. You can also add 1-2 tablets of activated carbon to clean pores and remove excess sebum. Next, add liquid ingredients to obtain a creamy consistency. For oily skin, it is better to take tea leaves, herbal decoction or milk; for dry, aged and irritated skin - heavy cream or jojoba oil (almond, olive).

For inflamed, irritated, acne-prone skin

In this case, soft scrubbing particles and anti-inflammatory components are needed. The following composition is suitable: take a teaspoon of ground green tea, 1 tsp. chamomile or eucalyptus (you can take a mixture in equal proportions). Plus potato starch or rice flour to absorb sebum. A crushed aspirin tablet will help relieve redness. Mix the dry ingredients, then dilute with mineral water - it will additionally have a moisturizing and toning effect.

Remember that any remedy has an effect only with regular use. Don't be lazy to exfoliate regularly at a pace that suits your skin.

Self-care is the alpha and omega of any woman’s lifestyle, the most unshakable rule that she always adheres to.

Homemade body scrub recipes

Having made peeling products, you can be sure that all the ingredients are natural and fresh. Recipes that help you make a scrub with your own hands can be adjusted to suit your needs and adjust the amount of ingredients.

All scrubs are best prepared before use. Alternatively, you can store it in the refrigerator for no more than 3 days (depending on the ingredients). They need to be used correctly: apply with massaging movements, do not wait until the skin becomes very red and burns are felt.

If you apply a scrub to steamed skin, the effect will be more intense. You can use them up to 3-4 times a week.

Coffee

Drinking a cup of coffee in the morning will not only invigorate you, but also help cleanse your skin. There are many recipes for this, and some of them are also helpful in getting rid of cellulite or “orange peel.”

A scrub is useful for the skin if you need to not only cleanse it, but also tone it and improve its elasticity. Auxiliary components will enhance the effect or additionally moisturize and soften the skin.

You can make a scrub using either coffee grounds or simply ground coffee beans. A little secret in order not to make a mistake with the base for the scrub: the grounds from brewed coffee will have a softer effect than just ground coffee.

1. Coffee and salt. At home, you can prepare any coffee and regular table salt (you can also prepare it with sea salt). Take equal parts of liquid soap, salt and coffee. Mix and apply before showering.
2. Coffee and honey. To make it yourself, you need honey and coffee. Proportions - 1:2.
3. Coffee, honey, pepper. The base is the same as for the previous scrub. Add pepper (preferably red on the tip of the knife) and a spoonful of olive oil. This option is suitable for problem areas of the body - buttocks, sides, abdomen, as it affects subcutaneous fat. The effect intensifies. If after self-massage of problem areas, wrap yourself in cling film for a quarter of an hour.
4. Coffee, ether, ground almonds. Add 2 drops of orange oil (essential) to 50g of ground coffee, add a teaspoon of almond flour and “season” with grape seed oil (1 tsp). This scrubbing will improve the condition of the skin and, with constant use, even out the skin, removing “orange peel” unevenness.

There are many variations of coffee scrub. It can be used often (up to 3 times a week) and combined with products that are in the refrigerator or in the bathroom - from sour cream to shower gel.

If you don’t have time to prepare a home remedy, you can use the Black Pearl “Perfect Skin” product.

With salt

Not everyone has the habit of drinking coffee in the morning. But salt is a product that almost every housewife has. Salt scrubs can be used before taking a bath and you won’t feel any discomfort (the salt will simply melt in the water).

It is better to use sea salt to prepare scrub products. If you come across too large granules. Then they can be ground in a coffee grinder to the size of a regular kitchen grinder.

1. Salt and ether. Base - 2 tbsp. salt. Next - 2 drops of orange, jojoba, almond ether.
2. Salt, honey and cocoa. Mix salt and cocoa powder in equal parts. For bonding - honey.
3. Salt, soda and lemon. For two tablespoons of salt, use a teaspoon of lemon zest.

All products obtained are used both to cleanse the skin and improve its condition. Israeli scrubs with minerals are popular.

Salt and soda scrubs can be combined with all types of essential oils to give it not only a pleasant aroma, but also the necessary effect (orange or grapefruit oil helps in the fight against cellulite, almond - tones, jojoba - cleanses, stimulates collagen production, etc. .).

Fruit

Thai fruit scrubs are popular because they have an anti-cellulite effect and have a beneficial effect on the skin. Their structure resembles a simple cream, and some even have an oil base. But you can prepare a similar remedy at home.

Japanese and Korean scrubs are popular among those who want to get rid of cellulite. Their base is also of plant origin and can be selected for any skin type.

How to choose?

Finding the best scrub for use is not easy. The difficulty is that different skin types perceive the product differently. For example, one woman enjoyed using an anti-cellulite product and achieved results, while another found it ineffective.

So, why do you need a scrub? This must be understood immediately before buying it or making it yourself.

• Anti-cellulite. It is better to choose ones based on large abrasive particles that do not melt in a short time (like sugar, salt). It is also worth choosing products that contain warming ingredients (products from guam, Organic Kitchen, Letual, fito cosmetics, eco laboratories).
• Cleaning. All scrubs that have small particles in their composition and additional functions (moisturizing, nutrition) are suitable. These are products from dolce milk, clarins, payot, Letual H2O.
• Rejuvenating. The optimal product with small particles and components that contribute to skin rejuvenation - coenzymes, collagen, elastane (anti-kodali products).
• For a bath or sauna. The line of products for visiting such places is distinguished by a high content of essential oils (mixit scrubs, Athena diy).

Having delicate and sensitive skin, choose small particles for cleansing and additional components that moisturize and restore. You can include natural Spivak products in your handmade scrubs.

Review of brands

When choosing a good body product that can not only cleanse the skin, but also give a certain effect, they very rarely look at the instructions for use. It often happens that the girl or woman who chose the scrub simply does not know how to use it correctly. Manufacturers always introduce the buyer to the basics of proper application and further use - with a glove, wrapping, massage effect.

Ratings and various tops are full of companies, which, judging by their composition, are different and have different additional effects (except for scrubbing). For example, against ingrown hairs or cellulite (Kenyan mango (Organic shop) or Natura Siberica scrub).

Leading cosmetic companies offer their products in this direction: “Natura” Siberica sea buckthorn-honey, Clean line “Phytobath”, “fitness body” anti-cellulite hot scrub, organic shop “Brazilian coffee”, toning and moisturizing, draining “talasso” (thalasso) .

These are also the manufacturers of “planeta organica” (organic planet), Oriflame, Faberlic, Yves Rocher, Garnier, Granny Agafya’s Recipes, Horsepower, Ecolab, Collistar, freeman, ecolab, Beauty Cafe.

Using scrubs from leading manufacturers or prepared yourself, it is important to find one that will not cause discomfort. If there is an unpleasant burning sensation or manifestations of allergic reactions, the scrub should be replaced or not used at all.
