Today's post will be about how to get a glowy, smooth and soft skin. A body scrub is a super simple way to achieve this.
There are quite a good number of scrubs you can make at home. They are as good as any similar products you can find in the store. You are even at an added advantage using a body scrub made with natural recipes because its natural, economical and has little or no side effects.
Olive Oil and Sugar body scrub is a quick DIY body scrub that you can prepare with two affordable kitchen ingredients.
Benefits: The olive oil moisturizes, nourishes, and softens the skin. From my read, olive oil contains oleocanthal, that easily penetrates the skin and heals skin damage and reduces wrinkles. The sugar, acts as a natural exfoliator that helps removes dead skin cells from the body.
Here's how to make the olive sugar body scrub.
Things you need
Granulated sugar
Olive oil
Tea tree oil (optional)
How to use
Mix the above ingredients in the ratio 2:1, that is 2 parts of sugar to 1part of Olive oil.
Wash body to remove the sweat, dirt and grime.
Then rub the mixture in circular motion all over the body from your neck down, paying attention to the elbows, knees, butts and feet. You can use the wooden shower brush to scrub your back if your hands can't get to your back and you've got no partner to help out. ( The olive oil makes Bath tubs amd bathroom floor slippery)
Then wash off with warm water and pat dry. Do not be tempted to wash off with soap because of the smooth oily feeling it leaves on the skin.
The skin naturally absorbs the oil, leaving your skin smooth, glowy and soft.
Store the remaining mixture in a glass container with cover and keep in a cool dry place for use the next time.
From my experience the effect last for about 3days. So I suggest that this body scrub is used twice a week to keep your skin in tip-top form.
