Although summer is when we tell ourselves about the importance of exfoliating our skin, the truth is that having a good scrub is very important throughout the year. Exfoliating helps remove dead cells from the epidermis and accelerates cell regeneration, which keeps the skin not only clean but also radiant. In addition, performing a good exfoliation is very simple as well as getting a good scrub. You don't even need to buy expensive scrubs at beauty shops or supermarkets, you can make your own at home with home products you surely have. Read on, because on OneHowTo we explain how to make a body scrub with sugar and cream.
Steps to follow:
Homemade body scrubs are a perfect solution for exfoliating our skin and also allow us to either take advantage of things you have at home and draw on natural ingredients. You can also use a homemade face scrub at home. For example, sugar acts as a natural abrasive that effectively removes dead skin cells, while moisturizers replenish hydration lost during the exfoliation process. This combination ensures that your skin remains supple and nourished.
Here's how to make a sugar and body cream scrub: you just need a container for mixing, a spoon, sugar, and a little moisturizer. It should be noted that the type of sugar used can affect the scrub's texture; fine sugar granules provide a gentler exfoliation, whereas coarser sugar offers a more intense scrub. Consider what best suits your skin's needs before mixing.
You can use any moisturizer you want, you can either use your favourite or, if you're going to make a new one, you can buy a low-end cream. You can also use after sun to make this exfoliant, as after sun creams are really hydrating. On the other hand, using a scented lotion can add an extra layer of indulgence to your exfoliation routine, leaving your skin not only smooth but also pleasantly fragrant.
In the container in which you will do the mixture, pour in some cream and a few tablespoons of sugar. The amounts depend on the area of skin you want to exfoliate and the amount of sugar or how hard you want the scrub to be: with less sugar it will be softer. Similarly, if you're targeting rough areas like elbows or knees, you might opt for a thicker paste with more sugar for a deeper exfoliation.
When the mixture is ready, you only have to wait for the shower. After showering, apply the exfoliating cream and sugar and then remove it with water. For best results, gently massage the mixture onto your skin in circular motions. This technique not only enhances exfoliation but also stimulates blood circulation, promoting healthier skin.
The result is fantastic: not only will you have perfectly exfoliated skin but it will also be very smooth. In addition, regular use of this scrub can help reduce the appearance of ingrown hairs and even out your skin tone over time. Be sure to follow up with a moisturizer to lock in the benefits of your exfoliation session.
