Hello Ladies,
Hopefully our last article on how to find the right body scrub for you, has motivated you to go get yourself some shimmery scrubs for your body! Finding the one that’s good for you and at the same time one that you love (texture wise, perfume wise & etc.), well it’s not always that easy with all the selection out there. So to give you some direction, me & Erika are listing some of OUR favorite’s body scrubs. Here goes:
FAVORITE SCRUBS
Body Shops Spa Of The World™ Brazilian Cupuaçu Scrub-in-Oil ( @thoradaniels )
In general, I’m not really a Body Shop person, but this body scrubs just blew me away the first time I used it. The Brazilian nut oil is poured over fine salts crystals; and when you blend them together, it makes the most effective & nourishing body scrub. It leaves you skin smooth & replenished. And you don’t have to moisturize you skin afterwards, as the oil has already done it. Absolutely love it.
Herbivore Botanicals Coco Rose Oil Body Polish ( @erika_master_esthetician )
This popular US organic brand from Seattle offers up their scrub as a beautifying body polish. Utilizing sugar as the polishing agent, it also has reparative rose and coconut in its ingredients. The one thing that sets it apart is the beautiful French pink clay that helps to tighten the skin while scrubbing it.
Origins Smoothing Salt Body Scrub ( @thoradaniels )
This one is a mix of sugar & salt, and its texture is very soft & smooth. I like to use this one as a “pick me up” when I’m going out, as it leaves the skin looking beautiful & radiant and the mint in it leaves you feeling fresh & reinvigorated.
OleHenriksen Rub n’ Buff Transforming Salt Scrub ( @erika_master_esthetician )
This salt scrub truly lives up to its name. It transforms the skin with sea salt, lemongrass essential oil, and sweet almond oil. It is not heavy despite the almond oil and leaves the skin supple and smooth. This is a great one for really rough areas like knees and elbows.
DIY RADIANT BODY SCRUB
While you can most certainly buy a scrub in several different brands, this is one of the few beauty products that is very easy to make yourself. Below is Erika’s recipe for a glowing salt scrub that is full of anti-aging, toning, and circulating benefits for the body.
Ingredients
· Himalayan Pink Salt - believed to be composed of dried particles from the sea, this salt comes in many sizes and is both anti-bacterial and can help balance your pH.
· Epsom Salt – high in mineral content, Epsom salt helps add much needed magnesium to your skin. Magnesium has shown reduced outbreaks of acne and eczema in some cases.
· ¼ cup organic Jojoba Oil – this nourishing oil is the closest oil to our body’s own hydrolipid film
· ½ cup organic Avocado Oil – this versatile oil has potassium, lecithin, and many other nutrients that can feed and treat the skin
· Tangerine Essential Oil (2-5 drops) – natural antiseptic and mood lifter
· Grapefruit Essential Oil (2-5 drops) -circulation booster and lymphatic stimulant
· Organic Hyaluronic Acid (2-6 pumps) – I like to use Asherwood Organic Hyaluronic Acid but any organic and pure hyaluronic will work.
· Vitamin C Serum (2-4 drops) – use your favorite brand to add in a healthy antioxidant for your skin
Combine equal parts salts and add in rest of ingredients in a glass container with a lid. Flip over and allow the ingredients to blend together for at least 24 hours. When ready, apply small amounts of scrub in a circular motion over all parts of the skin. Avoid sensitive areas. Concentrate on your décolletage, arms, and legs and rougher areas. Immediately follow with a luke warm shower and body oil for a bright skin.
Our bodies deserve the absolute best care. By taking few minutes once or twice a week you'll feel & see the difference & at the same time you are doing something special for yourself. Taking the time to do a body scrub will give you a much needed boost inside and out. Have you ever made a body scrub or have a favorite? If so, please share it with us and give us your feed backs !
