Hello friends!
Today we will continue the topic of deep cleansing of the body skin - scrubbing. You've probably noticed sometimes that the skin begins to peel, looks flabby, or has become more oily and unpleasant to the touch, which means using only shower gels or soap is not enough to completely clean it.
In this case, exfoliating agents are needed. You don’t have to bother and buy a ready-made scrub or create it yourself from available ingredients.
How to make a body scrub from salt is the main topic of this article. Read on and be sure to find out why salt is useful and what effective scrubs can be prepared with this component!
Homemade coffee body scrubs
The most popular body scrubs include coffee
: almost everyone drinks coffee today, so there will be no difficulties in preparing the product here either.
You need to use coffee grounds while they are wet - you can even get a slight tanning effect. The grounds are used separately or mixed with candied honey; You can take not the grounds, but just freshly ground coffee, adding, in addition to honey, olive oil. A mixture of honey and coffee grounds can be left on the body for 10-15 minutes.
There are many recipes for coffee body scrubs
, and almost all of them are effective for the prevention and comprehensive treatment of cellulite. “Orange peels” after regular use of such scrubs are reduced, and the skin becomes smooth and acquires elasticity.
Ground coffee (1-2 tbsp) is mixed with olive oil (a few drops), sea salt or sugar. The scrub should be applied to steamed skin in a circular motion, massage for 3-5 minutes, then rinse and lubricate the body with moisturizer or milk. This scrub is not suitable for sensitive skin.
You can scrub with grape seed or almond oil 2 times a week
(1 tbsp), ground coffee (100 g) and any anti-cellulite essential oil - eucalyptus, juniper, grapefruit, cypress, bergamot, rosemary, cinnamon, orange (8-10 drops). Mix the ingredients well (enough scrub for 2 times), and also apply to steamed skin. You need to massage for 5-10 minutes, and then it would be nice to take a contrast shower. Store the remaining scrub in the refrigerator.
Shower gel can also be used as a base
: mix it with coffee grounds and apply it to the body from bottom to top in a circular motion. Massage for about 10 minutes, then rinse in the shower.
Chocolate body scrub is good to use in winter
: Cocoa butter nourishes the skin and leaves a subtle chocolate scent. It is better to carry out this procedure on a day off, when there is no need to rush anywhere: a cup of cocoa butter is mixed with sugar (0.5 cups), and applied in a circular motion to the body for 10-15 minutes.
What scrubs can you make?
First of all, you should stock up on one of the types of salt, I think it won’t be difficult because salt can be bought at any pharmacy. The first scrub recipe that I want to consider is against cellulite, I think this is a very relevant remedy, especially in the summer!
Body scrub with sea salt and coffee
What do you need?
- sea salt (8 tbsp);
- lemon juice (3 tbsp);

You will have to squeeze the juice from fresh lemon in advance. Then mix all the ingredients in the specified quantity in a ceramic cup.
How to use?

After this scrub, I had the feeling that my body skin was breathing deeply, maybe because I did it in the summer in extreme heat. Just a life saver! Although I don’t suffer from cellulite, I think it wouldn’t hurt for prevention purposes.
But I heard that the components contained in this scrub remove harmful substances that cause metabolic disorders in skin cells, and as a result, reduce cellulite deposits!
Honey is often used as an additional ingredient to salt scrubs. It perfectly nourishes, moisturizes, tightens and tones the skin. Therefore, the next recipe will be with it. It's done very quickly!

Homemade scrub for weight loss
For those who want to lose weight, you can use a “scorching” body scrub
– in combination with exercise and diet. This scrub helps tighten the skin while losing weight and promotes even weight loss. You need to mix salt (2 tbsp), cinnamon and coarse black pepper (0.5 tsp each) and a little olive oil.
Another option: candied honey (100 g), coarsely ground nutmeg and hot red pepper (1 tbsp each). All ingredients are thoroughly mixed and applied to the body for several minutes, avoiding contact of the mixture with mucous membranes. Do not use on sensitive skin.
Citrus body scrubs
If there are microcracks, small wounds or inflammation on the skin, then there is no need to use salt in scrubs - take sugar, and preferably brown, or at least yellow - it is also unrefined.
Orange and lemon scrubs tone the body skin well
, give the body vigor and energy.
Orange zest and almonds are thoroughly crushed and mixed with olive oil: zest - 1 tbsp, almonds - 2 tbsp, oil - 1 tsp.
Lemon zest (2 tbsp) is mixed with the same amount of yogurt, oatmeal (1 tbsp), and olive oil (0.5 tsp).
Beldi soap for homemade body scrubs
Beldi soap can be used as an effective homemade body scrub.
; it is used in a hammam, oriental steam bath - for example, a Turkish sauna. This soap is a good means of preventing and treating cellulite, and Eastern women have known this for a long time. It doesn’t matter if you can’t go to the sauna - Turkish or even regular - this soap can also be used in the bathroom. It cleanses, smoothes and nourishes the skin well, making it receptive to subsequent cosmetic care.
Beldi soap is also called Moroccan soap. Its composition includes essential and fatty oils, distilled water, crushed herbs, alkali, buckwheat flour and other components - you can find different recipes for beldi, but olive oil should be present in it in any case. Soap can be prepared cold or hot, and it is not difficult to do at home, although it will take time - it will take several hours. This soap matures for about a month; It is very gentle on the skin, so you can use it daily to cleanse your face. It is also suitable for people with sensitive and problematic skin.
Homemade sea salt body scrubs
Sea salt scrub is also a well-known cleanser.
, but you can make it improved: it will not only gently exfoliate dead cells, but also moisturize the skin, nourish it, and at the same time fight the manifestations of cellulite and ensure its prevention.
Take 3/4 cup of sea salt, 2 tablespoons of almond oil, 1 tablespoon of jojoba oil, 20 drops of any citrus oil. Place sea salt in a container and mix it with almond oil, then add the remaining ingredients and mix again. Rub into damp skin with massage movements, paying more attention to the buttocks and thighs, and leave for 10 minutes. You can apply the scrub with your fingers or a regular sponge - whichever is more convenient. Wash it off with cool water and apply milk or lotion to the body.

How to use body scrubs
All body scrubs are applied in a circular motion.
because it is precisely such movements that help get rid of cellulite. Before applying the scrub, it is good to massage the whole body - at least on your own, to improve blood circulation - this is always done in salons.
If, after cleansing and showering, you apply anti-cellulite massage oils to the skin, the skin will become more elastic: the oils should contain vitamins A, E and B3, which promote collagen production and improve metabolism.
Almost everyone can use scrubs
, but this must be done taking into account the characteristics of the skin type: for normal skin it is enough to carry out this procedure once a week; for dry skin – once every 10 or 12 days; Oily skin can be cleansed with a scrub every 5 days.
A scrub with carrots and semolina is suitable for sensitive skin.
– 1:1. It is prepared very simply: grate carrots on a fine grater and mix with semolina. At first you can use it daily - about 2 weeks, and then - 2-3 times a week.
With some exceptions (oatmeal, Beldi soap, etc.), you should not use body scrubs to cleanse the skin of the face - this can be harmful, since the skin on the face is always more delicate and sensitive.

This article is for those who want to feel velvet when touching the skin of the body...
Homemade body scrubs are as necessary a thing as a tube of toothpaste in the bathroom. Without their use, you can forget about healthy, fresh, smooth skin.
What needs to be done to make the skin look beautiful and velvety so that nourishing creams are fully beneficial?
That's right, it needs to be cleaned.
Every day - by washing or wiping with milk and regularly performing deep cleansing. The deep cleansing procedure is called peeling. It does not have to be carried out in beauty salons; you can successfully keep your body skin in good condition at home. Peeling is carried out using a scrub, which thoroughly and deeply cleanses the skin of any “unnecessary debris”.
In terms of effectiveness and benefits, homemade body scrubs made with your own hands from natural ingredients (without dyes and preservatives) are not inferior to purchased cosmetics.
If you want to learn more homemade recipes for face and body care, don't forget to subscribe to blog updates.
Why use a body scrub
Human cells live for about 4-5 weeks, safely die and accumulate on the surface of the skin.
Every day, sweat and fat are released from the pores, and the smallest dust settles from the air on the skin. Grease, sweat, dust clog pores.
All these reasons lead to blocking oxygen access to young cells, dull complexion, peeling skin, blackheads and pimples.
Daily cleansing does not completely address these problems.
Without fail, for healthy, smooth, beautiful skin of the face and body, you need to carry out deep cleansing with scrubs at home.
All homemade body scrubs consist of a carrier base and abrasive particles.
The foundation serves to soften the skin, supply nutrients and protect the skin from damage.
Abrasive particles act as a “broom” of contaminants. When applied to the body, these particles exfoliate dead cells, clear pores of impurities and prepare the skin for the subsequent application of nourishing products.
The supporting basis of homemade scrubs can be:
cream, sour cream, yogurt, honey, cold-pressed fatty oil (olive, almond, etc.), fruit pulp.
Abrasive particles of scrubs, you can take the following:
finely ground salt (regular or sea), sugar (if brown), ground coffee (or grounds from brewed), semolina, ground oatmeal or corn grits.
Knowing these components, you can create, in addition to those listed, many of your own scrub recipes.
How to use a homemade body scrub
- You need to cleanse your skin with a scrub
— 1 time every 7-10 days for normal and oily skin — 1 time every 14 days for dry skin.
Otherwise, the skin will lose its natural protection and become thinner.
- A homemade scrub is prepared immediately before use.
Adjust the quantity of products in the recipes below to suit yourself, depending on your body weight.
- It is advisable to prepare the skin before applying the scrub by steaming it. Thus, soften and open the pores. This can be done in the shower or in the bath.
- Apply the prepared scrub and rub into the body with gentle massage movements for 3-5 minutes (depending on the sensitivity and thickness of the skin).
You can leave the scrub for a caring effect for another 5 minutes.
- Rinse off with warm water.
- Be sure to apply a moisturizing or nourishing cream. The skin is cleansed, open for care and waiting for something “delicious”. The applied nutrients will be much more effective than conventional application. After all, on their way there will no longer be a barrier of pollution, a layer of dead cells, etc.
- For inflammation and acne, it is not recommended to use the scrub. The skin condition will worsen.

If the skin is excessively dry, sour cream can be replaced with olive oil. If your skin is oily, you can add one teaspoon of fresh lemon juice to the mixture.
The gentle method is applicable to the skin of the face, since it is much more vulnerable and sensitive than the skin of the body. The scrub should be applied to previously cleansed and damp skin carefully and without intense pressure . The face should be slightly warmed, for example with warm water or steam.
The product is slowly applied along the massage lines and massaged for 2-3 minutes. However, peeling should not be applied around the eye area.

Sour cream for skin
If in ancient times oriental beauties used various natural oils to maintain the beauty of their skin, then Slavic girls and women used sour cream. It replaced creams, miracle lotions, and a lot of different cosmetics that we can’t do without today. So, sour cream. What is her secret? Firstly, it perfectly nourishes the skin, making it soft and tender. Sour cream also has a rejuvenating effect due to the fact that it improves blood circulation in the skin tissues, as well as metabolism. However, the main secret of sour cream is, first of all, the naturalness of this product. You should not confuse store-bought sour cream with real homemade sour cream, and if you want to pamper your skin, you should only use a homemade product, not store-bought.
How to use sour cream correctly? The most proven and effective method is sour cream masks.
