Clean beauty is the need of the hour. While moving around outside, our skin intakes dust and pollution, which contributes to the poor health of your skin. We use market-based cosmetics products to treat these skin conditions, but these store-bought products hold harmful chemicals. Once absorbed through your skin, many commonly used cosmetic ingredients accumulate in your tissues and organs and lead to severe health issues.
To deal with all these skin problems, you can use a natural exfoliator, know as Aloe vera Gel.Today let’s look at a great way care for your skin using a homemade DIY Aloe Vera Body Scrub!

Ingredients

Aloe Vera Gel
Brown sugar
Olive oil
Lavender essential oil
Peppermint essential oil

Proportion

Aloe Vera Gel: 1 medium sized leaf
Brown sugar: 1/2 cup
Olive oil: 2-3 drops or juice of a fresh lemon
Lavender essential oil: 12 drops
Peppermint essential oil: 8 drops

Procedure

- In a bowl, take the necessary amount of extracted Aloe Vera gel and smash it evenly.

- To the gel, add the entire quantity of brown sugar and thoroughly mix both the ingredients.

- To the mixture now add the required amount of olive oil and mix it evenly in the bowl. Olive oil nourishes the skin and keeps it hydrated for a long time. However, if you have oily skin, prefer lemon over olive oil and blend the mixture with the juice of a fresh lemon. Lemon juice exfoliates the skin and removes excess oil and dark spots.

- Use your index and middle finger and gently massage it in a circular motion. While massaging your face and neck, start from your nose and direct the motion towards your cheekbones.
