Before you all go making your superb scrubs, do make sure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients and if you they can be substituted by another ingredient listed. Also note if your skin is acne prone using a scrub is not advice for it can worsen the condition of the acne. My advice for acne prone skin is to talk to your dermatologist for a more accommodating routine. Also be sure to shower regulary with soap and at the end of your shower exfoliate using your scrub.
Dry Skin Sugar Scrub ingredients:
· Coarse Sugar
· Honey
· Avocado
· Egg Yolk
· Olive Oil
From the ingredients listed above take the Coarse Sugar in a bowl I would say about half a cup (for entire body or less, if you want it to be less scrubby) then add honey, avocado, egg yolk, or olive oil; you can use one single ingredient or a combination of many or all and combine them with the sugar(do not dissolve sugar). Then hop into a steamed bathroom, dampen skin and apply all over body in circular motions going upwards. Scrub for 5-10 mins and leave on your skin for another 5 mins and then wash off with warm water and you will notice the difference right there and then. Your skin will feel velvety smooth. Don’t forget to moisturize to ensure to lock in the moisture.
Below are other combinations of ingredients for different skin types. Follow the steps as above using ingredients listed under your skin type.
