Orange body scrub. DIY Sugar Body Scrub


Good time! Dear girls, happy holiday to everyone, today is our day) Let's put aside all the business, fuss and just dedicate it to ourselves? Today I will tell you about a banal simple product that each of you can cook. The result after using this product will be smooth, supple and nourished skin.
Who cares, welcome under cat.

A little background:
I took up the preparation of my own cosmetics a couple of years ago, when I just got tired of smearing everything on myself and not getting any result! At first, everything was limited to everyone's favorite coffee scrub, or rather, just dry coffee, which I first poured out, then carried to the bathroom, then did all the walls with it, well, in general, you understand . Then cocoa was used - no less fuss with it, of course. Then oatmeal. And I even felt like semolina for a while, oh my God. Then I somehow drew attention to store scrubs (of course, the organic segment) and then it dawned on me, sugar! Yes, yes, the most common sugar, and then it all started) Do not think, I will not tell you how to pour 3 spoons, bring them to the bathroom, etc., I will tell you about a ready-made scrub recipe that you can make for future use and use in your pleasure for a month and a half.
Product Name: Orange and Cinnamon Sugar Scrub


So we need:
1. Sugar, cane or regular (the former has a slightly higher melting point on the body, white dissolves faster). In fact, there are few differences, except for the color, incl. start with the usual, what is in the sugar bowl) The only thing is that the grinding of sugar is different, for different companies, some are larger, some are smaller: you will choose for yourself over time, by trial method. By the way, the main difference between a sugar scrub and a salt scrub is that it does not irritate or dry the skin!
2. Ground cinnamon. I grind cinnamon with my own hands, but also the usual ground rub. for 10 also suits us!
3. Orange peel. Here, if you wish, who does not want to make a bath, do not add! But the effect is much better with it!
4. Olive oil. Good. First cold pressed.

In principle, this can already be stopped, but whoever is the same "crazy master" like me will add the following components. In addition, they are all freely available, for example, in the same Leonardo and on the Spivak stalls.

5. Coconut oil. Refined is also suitable (about 85 rubles, Spivak)
6. Cocoa butter, unrefined - not required, but I add for texture. I have brought from Sri Lanka.
7. Liquid oil - any that is, except for the olive. For me, it's usually peanuts, sweet almonds, wine pits. The brands are all different, the prices too, even in the cheap segment you can find decent oils.
8. Essential oil of orange. Red or sweet. Or both) It’s worth spending money on it, believe me, it will still come in handy, for example, with a cold.
9. Essential oil of cinnamon. An indispensable component in all "hot" scrubs and masks, incl. and for the face. It’s not so easy to find, if anything, we’ll add a little more dry part to increase blood flow. I have in samplers from different online stores, so far I have not found the optimal price-quality.
10. D-panthenol (about 150 rubles, Leonardo), not necessarily, but I always add to the funds. Has moisture-retaining properties.
11. Vitamin E (tocopherol), sold in any pharmacy in the form of capsules or oil extract (the latter is much more convenient), will come in handy later for hair, for example.
12. Vegetable glycerin (about 100 in my opinion, Leonardo).

Girls, do not be afraid, at first glance, all these components come out a little expensive, but with such a volume you will make a kg of scrub, believe me) Moreover, all of them are necessary and suitable for other methods of use. Who needs information about what and where it is useful, I will write

We go further, the components are assembled, prepare the container. Plastic trays and containers are best suited for this business (in no case do not interfere in metal utensils, many oils oxidize immediately and lose their properties). Yes, I almost forgot, ideally, of course, we would have a measuring spoon, but for simplicity I will give a layout for ordinary tea and dining rooms, but again, only plastic, not metal!

Cooking process:
In general, creaming reminds me of cooking, many of the basics are taken from it. In this tool, too, first we need to combine the dry components, then the liquid ones.
1) We put warm butter butters in a water bath. If you limited yourself to one coconut, then this is 2 tables. spoons, if also cocoa - then one each. Do not overheat the oils, it starts to melt a little, immediately remove from the bath, the rest will melt already in the melted itself.
2)

Combine sugar, cinnamon and zest. With sugar, start with half a glass, then bring it to the desired consistency, plus many will determine the desired texture for themselves (I like dry ones, many of my friends are mostly creamy), pour out 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, who likes it hot and the skin is not sensitive - you can.
Orange on a fine grater - here you have the right amount of zest. I throw the peel and whole cinnamon into the food processor, but for the sake of one jar, you can suffer with a grater. It turns out that such a bright and cheerful mass.

Mix everything well with each other. The sugar should darken a little in the end. The smell should already be "baldezhny" , because vapors of essential oil are released from the zest.

3)

Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients, mix quickly and quickly, while rubbing the butter into the sugar as if pressing (I explain clearly, a)) It should look like this in the end:

4)

Next, we add olive oil - 3-4 tablespoons. We interfere. The mass becomes thinner.
5)
Liquid oils - 2-3 teaspoons of one or more.
6)
Vitamin E - 10 drops or 2-3 capsules (of course, pierce them and extract what you need))
7)
D-panthenol, half a teaspoon
8)

Essential oils 10 drops - orange and cinnamon.
9)
We mix everything well, ideally with a mixer or a combine, but you can just use a plastic spoon (now we remember about metal, right?)). And we evaluate the texture, if it seems dry - add olive oil, if vice versa - then a spoon or two of sugar. Once again, everyone will choose for himself. Here is the best one for me:

10) We shift all this into a beautiful jar and give it a presentation.


We leave the scrub for a day in a cool place to infuse and soak with esters. Next, we take it out and warn all households that it is impossible to eat . We store in the refrigerator, only here. A month and a half, calmly. I have a fad in this regard, I don’t add preservatives at any point of a gun, even if the girls themselves ask me. It is better to make a new composition more often than to use any beech!
Here are just pictures:

Such a pattern came out by itself at the bottom) And ... another marble scrub recipe was born (everything comes to my mind in the process, I can fall for 25 minutes and fly somewhere far away, my husband laughs, I’m already used to it)

Texture:



Usage:
2-3 times a week during bath procedures, take the required amount of scrub (put a spoon or spatula, do not climb with your hands every time), actively massage for 3-7 minutes and rinse with water. After this product, moisturizing is no longer required - the oils in the composition will do everything for you. With a more liquid consistency, you can manage to make an anti-cellulite wrap out of this scrub!

Expanded opinion:
No shop scrub gave me such smooth, nourished and fragrant skin! + anti-cellulite properties due to the essential oils of orange and cinnamon - also contribute) On my hips from the age of 15 I had terrible stretch marks (I don’t know why, there weren’t big weight drops), and so with the use of this and of course my other scrubs, they became practically invisible!

Price:
The cost of this product in terms of servings is about 150 rubles, instead of 600-800 in organic shops.

Test period:
About 2 years independently and a year in ready-made products for about six months. This scrub is one of my favorites!

Grade:
5+++
Well, now I'll show off pictures of my "babies", samplers or mini-versions of this product.

Haven't I tired you with my boring words about handmade cosmetics? Is it worth writing more? I have about 150 recipes in my luggage, of which %35 can be prepared by any girl who has a kitchen and a refrigerator))

Benefits of a body scrub. Types of scrubs. How to make your own scrub. Recipes for popular sugar body scrubs

Competent care of the skin of the face and body will preserve youth and beauty. To tidy up, it is not necessary to seek the help of professionals; at home, you can prepare skin cleansers. One of the effective cosmetics is a sugar body scrub.

What is a scrub? This is a cosmetic preparation that removes all impurities from the skin (its upper layer) by mechanical action. That is, if you just take a shower and use the usual product - soap or shower gel, then in this way you can only remove impurities from the surface of the skin, but in order to remove the stratum corneum, cleanse the skin of sebaceous secretions and sweat, you need to use special scrubbing agents. In stores, you can choose any drug you like, taking into account the price and aroma of the product. But a stunning effect is not always expected. Moreover, in each tube there are many additional components that can adversely affect skin health. These are flavors, dyes and preservatives. Making a good cleanser for the skin of the body is quite possible on your own.

What are scrubs?

Any cosmetic preparation, whether it is store-bought or made independently, consists of the smallest particles or abrasive. These can be: salt or sugar crystals, crushed grape, almond or apricot seeds, as well as synthetic fiber, silicone granules and even fine sand. All these abrasive particles will help to cleanse the skin of impurities better than ordinary soap or shower gel.

Scrubs are different: oil or water. In the first case, the main components are oil and an abrasive (sugar, salt, ground coffee beans, grape, apricot or olive pits). Oils are used as a basis: synthetic or natural. The scrub consistency may vary depending on the percentage of oils and abrasive particles. Such a scrub is more suitable not only for deep cleansing of the skin, but also for moisturizing. Used in professional massage rooms and spas.

Scrubs without oils are light, the composition contains a little essential oil or a mixture of oils. Abrasive particles natural and artificial: silicone, synthetics, cellulose. A light scrub is suitable for cleansing dry and sensitive skin.

What is a scrub and how to use it correctly

Skin cleansing with abrasive particles is not done every day, it is not necessary. Scrub should be used 2 or 3 times a week, depending on lifestyle and skin type.

With the help of one cosmetic product, you can achieve the following results:

  1. Deep cleansing of the upper layer of the epidermis. Our cells work without interruption: sweat glands, as well as fatty glands, secrete a secret (this is fat and sweat), which mixes with dust and remains on the surface. This happens regardless of whether a person leads an active lifestyle or not. Even at rest, cells continue their work. Soap alone is not enough for body skin care, it can only remove the top layer of impurities, and the dense fatty film will remain “lying” and preventing the pores from breathing. Various scrubs are designed for deep cleansing of the skin.
  2. In addition to nutrition, the scrub will help moisturize the skin and saturate it with useful substances. If you use an oil-based product plus vitamins, then in this way you can not only cleanse the skin with high quality, but also moisturize it, nourish it with useful components.
  3. High-quality cleansing of the skin from keratinized particles is especially important for adolescents, because the cells actively produce sebum and sweat. If the skin is not cleansed, then certain areas of the body become rough, these places darken.
  4. With the help of a scrub, you can make a light body massage and improve blood circulation. Thus, the recovery processes of metabolism in the body are activated, and body fat does not accumulate. Scrub can be a real salvation for girls who are struggling with cellulite and stretch marks.
  5. Scrub is a unique product that simultaneously cleanses the skin, nourishes, moisturizes and even tones. The ideal option is a sugar scrub, it is suitable for any type of skin and does an excellent job with the tasks.

If you brew a dye madder, you can get a scrub shade ranging from delicate pink to rich red. An oily solution of Chlorophyllipt (sold in pharmacies) gives a beautiful greenish tint.
  4. When the base has cooled slightly, add sugar in small portions, mix. It is better not to add sugar to the hot base, because it will dissolve and you will need a fresh portion. Quickly stir the mass, it will be thick.
  5. We lay out the whole mass on a pre-prepared plastic bag (we lay it out on the table in 2 layers). The mass is crumbly and loose. You need to wrap it in a bag and knead it with your hands. This is necessary so that the grains of sugar are combined with the soap base. You will see for yourself how it becomes soft and plastic.

Sugar scrub 3in1

This recipe is more interesting, to make such a scrub at home, you need to prepare well, namely, to purchase a soap base in advance. It is sold in specialized stores for soap products, and this component can also be ordered in the online store.

What you need to prepare in advance:

  • soap base (ideally made in England) - 80 g;
  • vegetable oil of grape seeds, jojoba or wheat germ - 2 tablespoons;
  • sugar (any, white or cane) - 200 g;
  • vitamin E - 5 drops;
  • food coloring (optional) - a few drops;
  • fragrance or essential oil - 2-3 drops.

You will also need: rolling pin, cookie cutters, plastic bag.

This recipe is slightly adapted, because if you make a sugar scrub according to a standard recipe (this is 1 part of a soap base, 1 of butter and 3 of sugar), then the scrub turns out to be loose and greasy.

How to make a scrub yourself:

  1. Cut a piece of soap base with a knife.
  2. You can melt it in a water bath or in a microwave, only then it is important not to miss the moment so that the base does not run away.
  3. Quickly add dye to the hot soap base (if you want to do this). If something confuses, you can add 2 drops of olive oil, it gives a beautiful yellowish tint. If you brew a dye madder, you can get a scrub shade ranging from delicate pink to rich red. An oily solution of Chlorophyllipt (sold in pharmacies) gives a beautiful greenish tint.
  4. When the base has cooled slightly, add sugar in small portions, mix. It is better not to add sugar to the hot base, because it will dissolve and you will need a fresh portion. Quickly stir the mass, it will be thick.
  5. We lay out the whole mass on a pre-prepared plastic bag (we lay it out on the table in 2 layers). The mass is crumbly and loose. You need to wrap it in a bag and knead it with your hands. This is necessary so that the grains of sugar are combined with the soap base. You will see for yourself how it becomes soft and plastic.
