Scrub for body with sugar by hand - how to make a home scrub

Recipes of a "hard" component of scrubs are simple, -usually it is apricot or berry seed, less often - a coarse grinding of coffee beans, sea sand or salt. Pick up a scrub is difficult, the chemical component is often too aggressive and ill suited to sensitive skin. The best choice in this case is to make a home remedy.

The softest scrub for the face and body -from sugar. Scrub with sugar cleans the skin more carefully, since in sugar - it is crystalline, but less solid particles than, for example, bones of raspberries, besides it dissolves in the washing process.

Recipe for home body scrub

In order to make a sugar scrub at home, we will need:

• 
  425 g of cane sugar (not lumpy and not very large, but necessarily reed, white sugar is often chemically purified and additionally sweetened);


• 
  125 ml of olive oil (no additives!);


• 
  60 ml of honey (at your option, but it's better to take dark floral honey);


• 
  1 teaspoon of vanilla (you can grind the dried pod - and then it is better to do it in a mixer with a small knife or in a coffee grinder - but the finished powder is also perfect).


• 
  cinnamon - on the tip of the knife (optional);


• 
  wooden or bamboo spoon;


• 
  glass bowl with high walls;


• 
  glass jar-container for bulk products (not less, but better than 500 ml) with a sealed lid (on two iron fasteners, this can be found in large hardware stores);

Of these ingredients, you will get at least 550 grams of scrub.

How to Make a Home Scrub with Your Own Hands

To make a scrub on a homemade recipe,Mix all the ingredients in a glass bowl in the sequence listed in the ingredient list. Stir should be after each new ingredient - so the mixture will be uniform. The oil will act as a base, honey will combine sugar and add softening properties, and cinnamon and vanilla will give a memorable aroma.

There are different views on what should bethe consistency of scrub - that is, what should be more in it, the basis (we have this olive oil) or solid particles (sugar). Choose what is more suitable for your skin, but an excessively oily scrub, although it moisturizes well, performs its basic function worse - purify. In this recipe, the optimal, average oil: sugar ratio is given, but if you think that the oil is more than it should, simply add the sugar in a teaspoon to the required consistency.

The finished mixture should look like a crumbly, somewhat denser and formed sugar chocolate-honey color. Put it in a jar and carefully close it.

As with any natural product, the termthe shelf-life of such a scrub is not unlimited. You can extend it by adding a teaspoon of oil with vitamin E, but for more than a month, it is unlikely that it will ever get anyway. Close the jar as carefully as possible and if you make a sugar scrub so much for yourself and use it not every day (which is natural), you can make less of it, halving the amount of all the ingredients in the recipe.
