How to Make Body Scrubs: A Method That Works

Homemade body scrubs ingredients

There are many ways to make your own body scrub at home. The most basic way to create your own DIY body scrub is simply to mix a wet ingredient with a dry, exfoliating ingredient. Common wet ingredients that are found around the house are liquid soap, vegetable butter, and various types of oil. Examples of easy to find exfoliating ingredients are sugar, oatmeal, salt, cornmeal, or anything that will provide your own signature body scrub with the right texture to allow it to get to work on removing those dead skin cells. One tablespoon each from both the "dry" column and the "wet" column is perfect for creating a single-use portion. And if you're feeling adventuresome, why not try adding seaweed, herbs, aloe, or even clay to your body scrub for a luxurious feel and an exotic twist.

How to make home made body scrubs

When making body scrubs at home, it is best to only include enough ingredients for a one-time use. There is no advantage to having a body scrub surplus because only fresh ingredients can have a positive impact on your skin. Trying to store the body scrub that you make at home will just lead to waste and ineffective exfoliation the next time you try to use it. Besides, combining the ingredients is so easy that making a fresh batch every time should not be a problem. It is also important to remember that more than two tablespoons of an oil substance will create a slick area on the shower floor when the scrubbing is done. This can lead to dangerous slips and serious injuries, so it is imperative that no extra oil is left in the tub. When an oil is your "wet" ingredient, it's always best to be careful not to use too much of it for a variety of reasons. When you are through applying the body scrub, use a sponge to get rid of all the extra oil and other substances that might have been left behind.

To add a pleasing scent to your body scrub, add aromatherapy oils that are infused with perfume. Add the oil to the dry grainy subsistence you are using, and you'll not only be exfoliating but relaxing and letting go of your stress at the same time. For an all-natural scent, don't be afraid to get creative with your favorite varieties of flowers and herbs. There are plenty of recipes for body scrubs that can be found online. All the methods for making homemade body scrubs are sure to be easy and affordable for any budget. Although, if you have a hectic schedule and don’t necessarily have the time to make your own body scrub or shop for top-of-the-line ingredients, you can always check the body scrub boutique, www.SabonNYC.com for the some of the highest quality pre-made natural body scrubs on the market.
