Key Ingredient-Olive Oil

There is a plus point in using olive oil in your body scrubs. It will help in nurturing your skin cells and providing them with basic nourishment. It will also penetrate deep into your skin and provide with a long lasting shield of moisture to keep skin smooth and supple. You can prepare a homemade body scrub by getting few ingredients from your kitchen.

Assemble Components

To make this body scrub would take only few minutes and it’s pretty easy as well. There are three basic ingredients required for its preparation. You need olive oil, salt or sugar and essential oil. We recommend you to choose extra virgin oil instead of regular oil because extra virgin oil is more pure and has good healing abilities, having the advantage of repairing and renewing your skin dead cells and stimulating the cells to return to their firmer, smoother healthier state. It also has good fragrance.

Salt or Sugar

Among salt and sugar, the latter is recommended for people with sensitive skin so that its granules aren’t harsh for your skin. Sugar works gently in comparison to salt on skin.

Preference of Oil

Lastly, choose an essential oil wisely, keeping your skin type in mind so that it doesn’t cause any irritation or allergic effect to your skin.  Usually baby oil, coconut oil and almond oil are recommended with homemade scrubs. One advantage of using these oils is their availability and use at home very often.  You don’t need to buy oil especially for making scrubs.

Preparation of Olive Oil Body Scrub

After assembling all the ingredients in front of you, comes the mixing part. It should be mixed rightly, keeping in mind the ratio of components of oil and salt or sugar to be as one is to two in a mixing bowl. Consistency of the scrub should be kept under consideration according to this ratio. If the scrub is too thick or too runny on your skin then it means that you have mistaken when adding quantities of the components of body scrub. When adding essential oil, do it warily. Gradual drops of essential oil would be more than enough since they are too strong with intense fragrances for you to tolerate. Mix all the ingredients with a spoon as none of it forms layer at the end of the mixing bowl.

Scrub yourself

Now apply the mixture onto your body especially on the areas that require special attention e.g. knees, elbow, and neck.

Rinse Thoroughly

Take a long warm shower to refresh your skin after scrubbing and see the results.

Store Sensibly!

It is essential to use your brains when storing this body scrub. It is highly recommended to store olive oil body scrub in a plastic jar or container with slight presence of moisture at room temperature. Guard this scrub from bad smell or impurities by keeping it in a closed vessel.
It’s a very simple and inexpensive way to get best skin care and beauty benefits from the use of extra virgin oil. It helps in enriching the cells of body and sloughing off the dead cells of body and bringing up healthier skin from beneath.
