Body scrub is the release of skin from dead epidermis particles and impurities, as well as for pre-treatment before cosmetic procedures. Its application gives an instant refreshing effect, and regular cleansing with this cosmetic polishes the skin, making it smooth, elastic and radiant, because it improves the blood supply and condition of the epidermis of the whole body, promotes intensive breathing and fights the natural aging of the skin, has a tonic effect on the entire body.

Permanent body peeling procedures help to fight cellulite and prevent hair ingrowth, but you can not remove fat deposits immediately. The special texture contains hard, abrasive particles that help clean pores and remove dark spots. They can be as natural: crushed apricot kernels, coffee, salt, plant seeds, cellulose, pumice, and synthetic. Usually coarse-grained scrubs are used for the legs and body, and for the face - means with small particles.

Composition

Gels, emulsions and cream formulations are used as the basis, and also the caring components are added:

  • honey, coffee and various algae, they tone up the skin, help preserve its elasticity and strengthen, and contain many minerals and vitamins;
  • therapeutic clay that cleans pores well, absorbs and absorbs impurities and removes toxins;
  • essential oils, softening, nourishing and moisturizing the skin, in addition, they stimulate the skin to produce its own collagen, which is necessary in the fight against aging;
  • extracts of medicinal herbs, such as, calendula, chamomile, green tea, string, aloe, which have antiseptic anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

How to choose

These funds must be selected for the components in the composition, and also by all means take into account the condition of the skin

  • Oily skin requires thorough cleansing with coarse-grained, hard granules, therefore salt or coffee scrubs are suitable for it, which tones the skin and clay in the composition, which, besides good cleansing, also narrows the pores.

  • Normal skin - the most unpretentious care, it will suit almost any moisturizing and toning scrubs, after which the body looks good, for example, sugar or salt scrubs with honey.
  • Dry and thin skin with closely spaced dilated vessels. Many types of scrubs are contraindicated, for such skin only homemade, very soft scrubs-masks from natural, gentle components are recommended.

Properly use

The effect of use will be higher if properly applied cleansing procedures. It is better to do this before bedtime: in the evening the process of cell division slows down, the skin relaxes without being subjected to stress. In addition, it is necessary to do this after a hot shower, bath or bath procedures, when the skin is most steamed and the pores are enlarged. Then cornified particles are easier to peel off.

After the cleansing procedure, peeling is applied to the moisturized body with unhurried movements around the circumference for about 10 minutes along the massage lines, especially intensively in places of cellulite deposition. To do the cleansing of the legs and hands should be carefully, without touching the cuticle.

The use of scrub will give the best result, if after a light massage leave the product on the body for some time, so that the useful components are absorbed, having a caring and renewing effect. Then it can be washed off with warm and then cool water and apply a moisturizer.

Do it yourself

In order to take care of your body and get the perfect satin skin, it is not necessary to purchase expensive tools. Body care is easy to make with your own hands, especially if you have a blender. It is important to prepare the mixture immediately before use and to maintain hygiene.

Coffee

One of the most popular products in the composition of body care products is coffee, which, in addition to its tonic effect, perfectly fights orange peel in problem areas. The only condition is that coffee should be natural, medium and finely ground and in no case insoluble. Coffee grounds remaining after brewing coffee, which will be abrasive, mixed with cream, sour cream or honey or fruit puree. For sensitive skin, it is recommended to add olive oil to the mixture.

If you mix coffee with crushed grape seeds and add a few drops of citrus essential oil, the scrub will have a tightening effect and at the same time a spa-aromatherapy agent. And if you put black pepper in a mixture of coffee and sea buckthorn oil, then you will get a powerful warming effect not only for tonus, but also as a preventive measure for colds. If you have no time to prepare the composition, in the end, you can simply take the coffee grounds and apply it on the body along with any cream or gel. The only condition - the thick should be wet.

Salt

Peels with salt cleanses the body and contains many minerals that have a tonic effect on the skin. For home cooking, coarse sea or table salt will be suitable, which is best used for thorough pore cleansing, and fine grinding is used for mild cleansing. Salt is recommended to mix with sour cream, vegetable or essential oil. If you add turmeric and powdered milk to the mixture and leave it on the body until it dries, you will get a good exfoliating effect plus a nourishing mask for nourishing and toning.

Cinnamon

This oriental spice is used in the fight against cellulite and to improve the blood supply. The easiest recipe is cinnamon with honey. Cinnamon is also added to a variety of fruit purees, clay, and even raw rice along with vegetable oil. And if you add cinnamon to a mixture of warm milk, oatmeal and butter, massage and leave on the body - you will get not just a scrub for sensitive skin, but also a softening mask.

For home scrubs, yogurt and milk can also be used as a base, and as abrasives, sugar, bran, chopped fruit bones and nuts.

We try not to harm

To make the body smooth and velvety, we use all precautions to avoid harm. Firstly, before using a new product, it is advisable to first test it for an allergic skin reaction. Deep peeling for pregnant and lactating mothers, as well as a dry method of application is contraindicated, you can not also use scrubs daily.

In addition, the use of funds in the event of damage, cracks, cuts, inflammation is unacceptable. Do not use the scrub directly after tanning or sunbathing.And scrubs are intended solely for the procedure of cleansing, and not to solve serious problems with acne-like skin.

Frequency of use

Scrubs cleanse the body well, giving it elasticity, smoothness and a healthy glow only when applied correctly. It is usually advised to use for normal skin once a week. This will allow the body to clear old cells and will not injure the epidermis too much when the protective layer is removed.

If you look at the renewal of the epidermis deeper, it should be noted that the life cycle of the division of skin cells with their continuous renewal is four weeks. Older cells can remain on the surface and cause scaling, irritation and acne. Peeling can clean the pores well and renew the skin, but should not unduly damage the young epidermis cells. Therefore, if you use it too often, the cells will not have time to share.

For oily skin should use these tools no more than twice a week, but not every day. For dry skin type, one procedure for two weeks is enough. In winter, scrubbing should be done even less often, since in winter the skin weaves. And for those who have problem skin, peeling agents are used about two times a month.
