With simple, natural ingredients such as sugar, honey and cornmeal, it is possible to make excellent homemade scrubs that can be used every week to cleanse the skin deeper.
Exfoliation is a technique that involves rubbing a substance on the skin that contains microspheres that do not dissolve. This opens up the pores a little more and removes impurities, removes dead cells and leaves the skin ready to be hydrated. Thus, the moisturizer manages to penetrate even more into the skin and the result is even better as it leaves the skin smoother and softer.
To prepare a good homemade exfoliator for your skin type, follow these steps:
1. Homemade scrub for mixed or oily skin
2. Homemade scrub for dry skin:
3. Homemade scrub for sensitive skin:
4. Home scrub for children
All ingredients should be mixed in a clean bowl and mixed until a homogeneous paste forms.
To use it, simply apply the exfoliator to the skin of the body or face in circular motions. In addition, you can use a piece of cotton to help rub the skin, always in circular motions. These natural scrubs can also be used on elbows, knees, hands and feet.
Even children older than 6 years can receive skin exfoliation, but especially in areas where the skin is naturally drier and rougher, such as the knees. During application, it is recommended not to rub the child’s skin too much, so as not to harm or cause pain. Exfoliation in childhood can occur sporadically, when parents feel the need, and when the child has very rough and dry knees, for example.
Exfoliation on the skin increases blood circulation and stimulates the renewal of skin surface cells, which is filled with keratin, leaving it dry and without vitality and with this the skin is more beautiful and rejuvenated.
In addition, exfoliation facilitates the penetration of moisturizers, so after exfoliation the skin should be hydrated with a cream, moisturizing lotion or vegetable oil, such as almond, jojoba or avocado.
