DIY Body Scrubs

Have you ever wanted to try a body scrub but dont have money to buy one or go to a spa? Here are some DIY's for you to be able to make them yourself! 

 Salt Scrubs

To create a salt scrub, you basically just need coarse sea salt or Epsom salt, a carrier liquid (like oil, glycerin  or honey), and a scent. Feel free to experiment with different oils, salts, and essential oils to see which you like the most, and which work best for your skin.

Citrus Morning Scrub

• 1 cup olive oil
• 1 cup sea salt
• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• 2 drops grapefruit essential oil

Mix all ingredients together, and pour into a lidded jar. Wet your skin in the shower, and gently massage the scrub all over yourself—preferably in gentle, circular motions—to exfoliate it. Rinse thoroughly, pat dry, and moisturize if necessary.

Coconut, Brown Sugar, and Vanilla Scrub

 

A basic, simple sugar scrub that can be whipped together in minutes.

• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix together all ingredients. Dampen skin in the shower, rub scrub all over in firm, circular motions, and then rinse clean.

Coffee Scrub

“Wake Up” Scrub, from Whole Living

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup brown turbinado sugar
• 15 drops peppermint essential oil 
• 1/2 cup used coffee grounds from a freshly brewed pot

Blend all ingredients together, dampen skin, and massage the scrub all over your body, starting from your feet and working your way up. Be sure to pay special attention to rough spots like heels, knees, and the backs of your arms. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

Ground Almond and Avocado Scrub

• 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and mashed
• 1/3 cup of ground almonds
• 3/4 – 1 cup of ground oatmeal

This rich, buttery scrub moisturizes and nourishes dry skin while exfoliating dry skin away. Mix all the ingredients together, and then rub them all over your body from the top down. Massage in gentle circles, and then rinse thoroughly. Be sure to rinse your tub/shower enclosure well afterward.

Note: You can use also use ground hazelnuts for this if you don’t have any almonds on hand.
These scrubs are sure to cleanse and soften skin that winter may be abusing, leaving you soft and radiant all over.
