Body Care Routine | DIY Skincare Treatments for Glowing Body
A body care routine is as important as a skincare routine.
most of the time we take care of our face and forget our bodies.
That is why we get discoloration on our hands and feet.
The routine I’ll show you it’s easy to do and will help remove the dead skin, and will add a natural glow.
Step 1: Brightening Body Scrub
You’ll Need:
- Brown Sugar
- Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Organic Coconut Oil
- Cocoa Powder
- Instant Coffee
- Baking Soda
- Raw Organic Honey
We suggest you make a big batch of the scrub as you can store this for 1 month and use it whenever you want.
- Take a big bowl and add 6 tablespoons of brown sugar,
- Next, add 2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- Then, add your 1 Tbsp of Organic cold pressed Coconut oil.
If it’s cold and in the solid stage then don’t worry because this mixture will melt in the warm steamy shower or even with the body heat. - Next add 1 Tsp of Cocoa Powder, 1 Tsp of Instant coffee, 1 Tsp of raw organic honey, and lastly, add 1 tsp of baking soda.
If baking soda doesn’t suit your skin you can skip this ingredient. - Mix everything well with a wooden spoon and then store this into an airtight glass container.
- To use just take the required amount in a container and use it, make sure to use a dry spoon when you are taking out the scrub.
- Now just wet your skin you can also take a lukewarm shower to open the pores.
- Apply the scrub all over your body and massage it for good 5-10 minutes.
- Then rinse the scrub, you don’t need to use any soap or shower gel after this.
Because it will strip the goodness of natural ingredients that we added.
