Try This Homemade Body Scrub To Treat Dry Skin

Just like cleansing, exfoliation plays an important role in our skincare regimen. And if you have dry skin like me, then exfoliation becomes all more important. And body scrubs are actually great for exfoliation. They remove the dead skin cells and uncover the new skin beneath. Skin becomes soft, supple and nourished. Furthermore, body scrubs help in absorption of body lotions and creams and thus increase their effectiveness, which is very important for people with dry skin.

Homemade body scrubs are extremely effective. They can be as expensive as you want and moreover you can easily customize them according to your needs. Plus, they are made of all natural ingredients, hence totally chemical free.

Homemade body scrubs exfoliate the skin, slough away dead skin cells, nourish as well as moisturize skin. And you get smooth, polished and glowing skin all over your body. So girls, after a bit of Google search I have come up with my own Homemade Body Scrub for Dry Skin, which I am going to share with you all today.

In this body scrub, I have used honey, olive oil, coffee, sugar and vitamin E oil. As you can see all the ingredients are completely natural and no chemical has been added. These ingredients work wonders on themselves for dry skin. So when you combine them, all you can get is moisturized, nourished and glowing skin. I have been using this body scrub for quite some time now and it has done a great job for my dry skin.

Ingredients

Honey : 4 table spoon
Olive oil : 6 table spoon
Coffee : 2 table spoon
Sugar : 8 table spoon (I have used brown sugar here)
Vitamin E capsules : 2

Method

* Take all the ingredients in a bowl.

* Slit the vitamin E capsules to take out the oil. Now start mixing all the ingredients together.

* Rinse off with lukewarm water and follow up with your favorite moisturizer to retain the skin moisture. The quantity is enough to use for 6 times at least.

* Keep it in a dry, airtight container and it will stay good for 6 months.

Sugar is one of the best natural exfoliator for our skin. Sugar rejuvenates and softens the skin as well as maintains perfect oil balance so that skin doesn’t become too dry or too oily.
