Our skin requires careful care every day.care. For our daily efforts and attention, it pays us with beauty and health. An important component of such care is the skin cleansing stage. Dermatologists, after a series of studies, came to the conclusion that the cells that form the top layer of the skin live only 30-35 days. If they are not removed in time, they begin to accumulate on the face and body, which leads to a dull color and deterioration of the skin in general, acne and irritation appear. Scrubs have been used for many centuries to cleanse the skin and improve its blood circulation, helping to maintain the youth and attractiveness of the skin of the body for many years. It is worth using a good scrub suitable for your skin all year round, but this procedure is especially necessary in the summer. At this time of year, the skin gets dirty faster due to increased sweat and sebum secretion. Regular shower gel and a washcloth will not be able to clean it to the extent necessary. Here a scrub will come to the rescue, which, being an excellent exfoliating agent, improves blood circulation well and tones the skin. Many people use it as an additional protection against cellulite. Dead skin cells can also prevent the tan from lying evenly. To get an even, beautiful tan, try using a scrub before your first trip to the beach. The same rule applies to artificial bronzers - they are best used on cleansed skin. Of course, for healthy skin, you need to use products containing natural ingredients. This will not only improve its condition, but also prolong the youth of your beautiful skin. Nowadays, stores widely offer body scrubs with seaweed, essential oils, sugar, natural fruit extracts and other plant-based products.

Why prepare a scrub yourself?

Nowadays you can buy any scrubs in stores,that your soul desires. But if you compare the quality of homemade exfoliating face and body products with store-bought ones, you can easily see that a homemade product is no worse than a store-bought one, and its preparation takes very little time. In addition, a homemade scrub significantly saves money. And the components for its creation can easily be found in your kitchen. And the main advantage of such a homemade product is that you will be completely sure that this is a natural product, and not another "chemistry". Each scrub consists of exfoliating particles and a base. The latter in a homemade version is honey, vegetable oil, fermented milk products, milk, sour cream. And exfoliating particles are coffee grounds, oatmeal, salt, eggshells, dried lemon or orange zest, crushed nuts, crushed dry tea, wheat bran. We will dwell on honey and salt in more detail because of their presence in absolutely every kitchen and their special usefulness for the skin of both the face and body. Why is honey so useful for external use? It not only moisturizes, nourishes and softens. This wizard has a strong bactericidal and regenerating effect on our skin and, stimulating fat and water-salt metabolism in cells, increases its tone and elasticity. Salt perfectly polishes the skin of the body, removing all dead cells and allowing it to "breathe", noticeably returning its elasticity and healthy beautiful appearance. But there is also a contraindication: sensitive or irritated skin. In the second case, baths and rubbing with decoctions of chamomile, string, oak bark are suitable. They perfectly remove skin irritations in a short period of time. And after complete recovery - use a homemade scrub for health. It is necessary to remember that during the preparation of the product, all components must be thoroughly mixed. The scrub is applied to moisturized skin of the face and body with light massaging movements. Do not rub or press it into the skin, especially the face. After 5 minutes, wash off with warm water. It is especially good to apply the scrub to the skin after a hot relaxing bath. Apply with massage movements and leave to soak in for about 5 minutes, then wash off with warm water. Your skin will delight you with its velvety softness. To enhance the effect, you can apply body milk or cream after using the scrub. After you have cleansed your body skin of old cells, the beneficial substances of the cream penetrate the skin better. Usually, this procedure is performed before important events or as an express treatment when there is no time at all for long sittings in salons.
