homemade body scrub recipe?

Question

does any one know any homemade body/face scrub recipe

Answer 1

Mix some sugar,honey and a few drops of scented oil, baby oil will work too. But use your hands not a washcloth to rub the scrub on your skin in circular motions. Makes your skin smooth as a baby's bottom!

Answer 2

Brown sugar, olive oil, and vanilla (yummy smell). The sugar is a more gentle exfoliate than salt and good for sensitive skin. You can also use white sugar or plain table salt with other oils and scents (use essential oils that are food grade or state that they are OK for use on the body). Lavender is great to add for relaxation. If you want a stimulating scrub add the zest from lemon, lime, orange or all three. Rosemary and peppermint together is also very nice. Experiment until you find something you like. I would not use baby oil as another person suggested b/c it just sits on top of the skin (not easily absorbed). Use olive or even regular vegetable oil. Jojoba and grape seed oil are also nice if you can find them.

Answer 3

For the Face: Plain yogurt makes a good, soothing mask. You can add some ground oatmeal for a little extra exfoliation and honey for a little moisture.

Add a bit of water to 2-3 tblsp. of baking soda to make a paste & use it as face scrub. Use gentle pressure.

Mixture: 6 crushed aspirins, mixed with the liquid facial cleanser at hand (I usually use either cetaphil or tersaseptic), and 1-2 drops of tea tree oil.

You can make a paste of white or brown sugar or Epsom salts mixed with olive oil or sweet almond oil to make a body scrub.

Answer 4

you want to use this in the shower, not the tub.
1/2 c. regular oatmeal
2 tblsp. sugar
1 cap of vanilla
put everything into your blender and blend till the oatmeal looks like a fine powder. It is an awesome scrub and your skin is so soft because of the oatmeal. If you dont use all of it, put into a covered container and on the bathroom shelf. I use plain oatmeal to wash my face, and its great.

Answer 5

Hello,

I use a mix of raw sugar and light olive oil, and scented oil added to prevent you smelling like a pizza, in the shower with a wash cloth and viola! Smooth skin!
