Temperatures are rising, clothing is getting shorter and more skin is showing. It’s time to prepare for the summer. We will show you how to make your skin shine and prepare it for the short fashion when you make your own DIY skin exfoliant.
The legs, which until recently were hidden under long trouser legs, are especially happy about a salt scrub. This is not only easy to do, but is very cheap compared to the products from the drugstore, so it is very economical to make your own DIY skin exfoliant.
Why should you exfoliate the skin?
The salt dissolves the dead skin cells, promotes blood circulation and stimulates the production of new cells. By gently removing the dandruff you prevent the pores from clogging. This has several positive effects. If you suffer from dry skin, for example, the skin fat, the sebum, gets better on the skin. In addition, pore-deep cleaning prevents the formation of inflammatory foci responsible for pimples and impurities. Also, the salt peeling can help against cellulite, because the massage with the small grains of salt skin is better blood circulation. The effect: softer, smoother skin. To make your own scrub you only need finely ground sea salt, oil and some soap.
Make your own DIY skin exfoliant: steps
- Grate the bar of soap and mix one teaspoon with two teaspoons of sea salt and three teaspoons of oil. Which oil you use is up to you. Especially caring for your skin is olive oil.
- It is best to massage the mass in the shower on the still moist skin. So gently rid your skin of small flakes. Your skin will be silky smooth.
- Of course, you can increase the amount of soap gratings or salt until you agree with the consistency of the peeling.
- After massaging your body with the mass, shower thoroughly so that no residue remains.
The sea salt peeling can be used both for the face and for the body. When making it yourself, be sure to purchase fine-grained sea salt for the face. For the body, it may also be the coarse-grained sea salt. How often you can apply the exfoliation depends on your skin.
