Help! My Natural Scrub Is Too Rough!

Help My Natural Scrub Is Too Rough

Natural body scrubs are a great way to get smooth, glowing skin right in time for summer. However, various salts or sugars are coarser in texture than others and can feel a bit too rough. Depending on your skin using very coarse materials or elements may not be necessary in order to slough off a particular area’s dry or dead skin.

For instance, raw sugar is coarser than brown sugar and tends to need more oil added to the scrub to prevent a shredding feel. Body scrubs should never feel as though they are doing more damage than good. Moreover, if your homemade scrub is feeling a tad bit rough on your skin you can also consider mixing in honey to add moisture.

Beauty Quickie: Get a softer pucker by combining olive oil and sugar in a small cup or container. Add enough sugar to the oil so that the consistency resembles a skin scrub that you would normally purchase from the beauty aisle. Lastly, add 3-4 drops of peppermint oil to the mixture then blend well. Apply this scrub to your lips to remove any dead skin or rough areas that need to be smoothed. To remove you may rinse or lick off this edible lip scrub once you are done ex-foliating.

Beauty Quickie: You may need a cup of joe in the mornings to feel somewhat human, but did you know those little brown beans are great for your skin too? By mixing coffee, vanilla extract and sugar (really sounds like you making a cup of coffee huh? LOL) you will have created an excellent exfoliant for your skin. Due to the coffee’s antioxidants and the sugar you will be able to smooth any rough areas to reveal softer skin. Plus, the vanilla extract will provide a tantalizing fragrance that is sure to relax you during the process. So then, go ahead and indulge in a little coffee, it is good for you!
