A weekly body scrub is great for the skin, as it helps remove dead skin cells, and gets the circulatory and lymphatic systems moving.
But you don't need to buy expensive scrubs from the shop. Not only can they contain questionable ingredients like Methylparaben and "fragrance", but you can make your own quickly and cheaply, and you probably have the ingredients in your pantry.
Just make up a batch as needed.
You need:
- 5 teaspoons of sugar or salt (I prefer sea salt for it's healing/antibacterial qualities)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 drop of your favourite essential oil
Mix it up (it should be damp and a bit "clumpy") and use in the shower. I also use this on my face, but try a little amount first, until you know it's not too harsh for your skin type.
