Beauty Tips: How to Use a Body Scrub Correctly

The question that faces every woman who is preparing to show off her body on the beach: how to prevent your skin from looking dull and tired? Fruits and vitamin D alone are not enough to make your skin glow. A body scrub is a sure helper when you need to get rid of dead skin cells; it also helps clean out pores and helps the skin breathe properly. But even such a familiar product as a scrub has its own rules of use.

What is a scrub for?

Let's start with the fact that a scrub is a means for exfoliating and renewing the skin. This happens thanks to the solid particles of the exfoliant in the composition.

In order for a scrub to have a beneficial effect on the skin in several ways, it must contain moisturizing oils and plant extracts. These active ingredients will help the skin recover after mechanical exfoliation. Phytobanya body scrub from the Clean Line brand contains pine nut oil. It will not only provide hydration to the body's skin, but will also contribute to its rejuvenation, since this oil is rich in vitamin E and Omega fatty acids.

Body scrubs provide the care your skin needs:

— intensively cleanse the skin; — level its relief; - provide softness and shine; - free from dead cells; — help ensure that the active substances of creams and lotions actively penetrate the epidermis.

You can make the scrub yourself

Body scrub is one of the few products that you can make at home and it will be no worse than store-bought. Coffee (has an anti-cellulite effect), coconut flakes, sugar, and coarse sea salt are suitable as scrubbing particles.

Oil is chosen as the basis for homemade scrubs. You can use almost any one you have - olive, almond, shea, coconut. In most cases, blends work better than single oil. If your skin is prone to rashes, it is better not to use comedogenic oils - coconut, cocoa, flax and wheat germ oils. For aromatization, you can add a few drops of essential oil.

When developing cosmetics, technologists combine oils in such a way that the composition of the oils is as close as possible to the lipids of the skin. Store-bought mixtures (if formulated by a professional) often work better. But this is not always the case, because the lipid composition may change depending on dietary habits, diseases, etc.

It is better to prepare homemade scrub for 1 use and not store it. Since a spoiled product at first does not reveal itself either by smell or appearance. In addition, after the first use, you may want to adjust the recipe - add more oil or use larger or smaller particles.

We recommend adding a little hydrophilic oil to your homemade body scrub. 1 teaspoon is enough for 1 serving. This hydrophilic scrub will perfectly moisturize the skin, and after use you will not feel greasy.

Anti-cellulite body scrub

It’s quite easy to prepare a body scrub with your own hands; recipes for proven preparations are always available and simple.

Anti-cellulite body scrub can be prepared using different recipes. For example, crush 1 grapefruit, grate the skin, add 5 parts of any salt and 1 part of olive or sesame oil to the resulting mixture. This anti-cellulite body scrub at home has a powerful effect in combating “orange peels”.

Other effective treatments: anti-cellulite wraps and anti-cellulite massage.

Scrub for dry skin

When cleansing this type of skin, it is necessary that the product contains nourishing components. Do not use scrubs with ingredients that dry out the skin. A good scrub can be prepared by mixing crushed eggshells, egg yolk and 1 tsp. sour cream or heavy cream. Mix everything thoroughly, massage the scrub into the skin, wait 10 minutes and rinse.

For very dry skin, you can use ordinary coffee grounds as a scrub, but only if you add fatty cottage cheese or sour cream to it. This product should also be left on the face after the procedure so that the ingredients nourish it. Instead of coffee and cream, you can use sugar and olive oil. It is better to grind the sugar before use, and lightly heat the olive oil in a water bath.

For this product you will need dry orange or lemon peel. It must first be crushed to make flour. To 1 tbsp. l. chopped peel you need to add 3 tsp. oatmeal and 2 tbsp. l. fat sour cream or cream. You can also make a scrub using daytime face cream. It must be carefully mixed with 1-2 tsp. semolina and use as a scrub.

To make a nutritious cosmetic product, you need to melt 2 tbsp in a water bath. l. butter. Then add a few teaspoons of walnut flour and yolk to it. This scrub not only cleanses pores well, but also moisturizes the skin.

You should take one small apple and grate it. Then add banana puree to the gruel, 1 tsp each. honey, cream and oatmeal. Leave on skin until dry.

how to properly steam your face at home

How often can you use a body scrub?

Scrubbing is the process of exfoliation, or exfoliation, of dead cells of the upper layer of the epidermis. If you often try to “rejuvenate” your skin, you risk drying it out: without having time to fully recover between exfoliation procedures, it will begin to actively lose moisture, which can give rise to a premature loss of elasticity and tone of the skin of the body.

How often to use the scrub depends on your skin type:

- For normal skin, once or twice a week will be enough. — Those with dry and sensitive skin are recommended to use the scrub once every 10-14 days. It is better to choose a delicate product with a small amount of solid microparticles. After the first use, observe how your skin responds.

Recipes for normal and combination skin

Cucumber with whitening effect

fresh small cucumber - 1 piece;
oatmeal - 1 tbsp. l;
table salt - 1 tsp.

To prepare, grate the cucumber. Squeeze out the juice. Add oatmeal and salt to the juice. Rub onto face but do not rinse. 10 minutes is enough to whiten the skin.

Apple scrub for problem skin at home

green apple - 1 pc.

This method is suitable for all types of skin. Acts as an exfoliating and nourishing agent. Divide the apple into large slices and intensively massage your face with them. Malic acid will quickly dissolve dead cells.

shower gel.

Scald the eggshells with boiling water, dry, and chop. Place in a convenient container. To use, mix a teaspoon of shell with a small amount of cleansing gel. Massage for 2 minutes, rinse.

How to choose the right scrub

The main active element of scrubs are solid microparticles, which exfoliate the skin. There are particles of natural and synthetic origin: the choice depends on skin type and individual preferences.

— Silica particles are spherical: less likely to scratch and damage the skin. Suitable for sensitive skin, as well as for delicate areas: the abdomen and inner surface of the arms. — Sea salt and sugar crystals are often used as natural exfoliants. They are ideal for body skin, as they are quite large in size, but quickly dissolve in water, thereby limiting the time for an exfoliating massage. — Elements of crushed peach and apricot seeds are natural microparticles that are recommended for use in anti-cellulite procedures and on the bends of the limbs (elbows, knees) with rough skin.

The Clean Line Massage Effect Body Scrub contains apricot kernels, which help cleanse the skin and create an anti-cellulite massage effect. The scrub smoothes the skin and improves microcirculation, preparing the skin for the application of corrective care products.

In addition to exfoliating components, scrubs may include the following caring ingredients:

— Oils (olive, flaxseed, fruit seed, jojoba) help moisturize the skin during the scrub application. — Allantoin, panthenol ¬– caring ingredients that help compensate for the effect of exfoliant on the skin. — Specialized components: vitamins, plant extracts, antioxidants. Such elements help maintain the skin's natural ability to renew and restore.

The effectiveness of a homemade scrub

A scrub is a cosmetic product that has an exfoliating effect. With its help, you can easily cleanse the skin of various impurities, eliminate oily shine and remove blackheads. At the same time, metabolic processes are activated and skin peeling is eliminated. Without this product it is almost impossible to achieve beautiful and well-groomed facial skin.

The difference between store-bought products and homemade ones is great. It's all about the composition of the scrub, because cosmetics manufacturers do not add natural ingredients to their products. On the contrary, such compositions contain too many substances that can cause allergies and only worsen the situation. While at home you can make an absolutely natural and healthy scrub.

Benefits of the skin cleanser:

thanks to solid particles, the skin is cleansed, as they remove dirt and dead cells;
homemade scrub nourishes the skin, saturating it with vitamins and microelements;
Using a massage while applying the scrub improves blood circulation in the epidermis.

What is a body scrub and what is it for?

This is a gel, emulsion, clay or cream with grinding particles included in them. Translated from English, the name means “clean” or “scrape.” Both of these words reflect the main purpose of this skincare cosmetics. It removes impurities from the skin and exfoliates dead cells.

The procedure using it is sometimes called superficial peeling. But in addition to the cleansing and grinding properties, the product has other advantages:

It has a tonic effect by activating blood microcirculation and metabolic processes.
Lightens, reduces pigmentation.
Eliminates blackheads and normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands.
Rejuvenates and fights signs of aging.
Enhances the absorption and effect of moisturizing milk and lotions.

So, we figured out why you need to use a body scrub. Now we’ll tell you what it’s made of.

What may be included

As we wrote above, manufacturers often add gels, emulsions, and creams as a base. Abrasive ingredients can be either natural or synthetic. These can be seeds, salt, seeds, sugar, cellulose ground into different sizes. In addition to them, mixtures with the following components are commercially available:

Cosmetic clay. Cleanses pores well, evens out color and softens.
Honey, coffee, seaweed. They have a tonic effect, nourish and help maintain elasticity.
Essential oils. They fight aging, age spots, inflammation, tighten, moisturize, soften.
Extracts from medicinal plants. They have an anti-inflammatory and disinfectant effect.

Why do you need a different scrub for the body, face and lips?

It's all about the structure of the epidermis and the size of the abrasive particles. If you use a product intended for the body on your face, instead of cleansing and other benefits, you will receive microtraumas, and the condition of the skin will only worsen. If you try the opposite, there will be no result, since the scrubbing element in the cosmetic mixture will be too small. It is also important to pay attention to your skin type.

Fat. Compositions with natural exfoliating ingredients, clay, and salt are suitable. They clean pores well and tighten them.
Dry and sensitive. Requires careful care. For these purposes, it is better to purchase a product with a cream or gel-like texture and minimal inclusion of soft granules.
Normal. Any remedy is suitable. Experiment and choose the most effective one.
Combined. You may need two types of products.

How to use a body scrub: basic rules

Choosing a product is only half the battle. It is important not to harm yourself by using it. Cosmetics can be unpredictable, and if you have never applied any ingredients to yourself, test them for allergies. Apply a small amount of the mixture to yourself and wait a few minutes. Also follow three more recommendations:

Do not scrub acne-prone skin. This will make her condition worse. In this case, it is better to consult a dermatologist. He will prescribe treatment.
This procedure cannot be carried out if there is damage or injury.
If you wash off the mixture and still feel tightness, burning, or see redness, discard this product and replace it with a gentler option.

How often can you use a body and face scrub?

Experts do not recommend using almost all types of these cosmetics every day, since the skin becomes thinner, deformed and irritated from constant exfoliation. This is especially true for compounds with coarse, large abrasive particles. The choice also depends on your skin type:

Normal - once a week.
Oily – 2-3 procedures in 7 days.
Dry – no more than once every 10-14 days.

You also shouldn’t injure your lips with peeling every day, but sometimes you can make an exception when applying important makeup. Lipstick adheres better to a smooth surface.

How to apply body scrub

It is best to use scrubbing products in the evenings, after you take a shower or visit a sauna or bathhouse. After cleansing and exfoliating dead cells, redness and irritation may appear. Overnight, the skin will recover and look great. This is also due to the fact that in a steamed state it is easier to influence. Always follow the sequence that we will now describe. Don't forget about creams, and the effect of the procedure will not take long to appear.

The first thing you need to do is cleanse your face or body of makeup/impurities. Wash with soap or special lotion, tonic, gel.
Smoothly and carefully, with light movements, distribute the product in a thick, even layer. Skip the area around the eyes. Massage without pressing.
Wait a few minutes and rinse with warm or cool water (do not turn on hot water, as it causes dryness).
Apply milk to nourish and moisturize.

How to use cream scrub

The sequence of actions for surface peeling does not depend on the composition of the product. It can be an emulsion or gel. First comes cleaning, then steaming - application, massage - rinsing - a soothing care product.

Scrub for normal skin

For normal skin, you can use almost any scrub. But it is important to understand that this skin type can also be sensitive. In addition, normal skin, unlike oily skin, does not produce a large amount of sebaceous secretions. Therefore, she does not need strong remedies.

In order to quickly make a facial scrub, you need to mix 1 tbsp. l. sour cream and 1 tbsp. l. oatmeal Stir and add 1 tsp. olive or vegetable oil and salt on the tip of a knife. After stirring the composition, apply it to the face and massage the skin a little. Then wash off.

Can a skin scrub be harmful?

Exfoliating cosmetics are made up of small, hard particles. These can be synthetic granules, ground fruit seeds, coarse fibers. By interacting with the epidermis, they exfoliate its layer. In the process, the surface is injured and micro-scratches appear on it. If you exfoliate infrequently, these injuries will heal, but using a scrub daily will cause serious harm to your face and body. This may lead to:

loss of elasticity;
dryness, inflammatory processes;
the appearance of roughened areas;
disruption of the cell regeneration process.

The epidermis loses its ability to renew itself. There is a dependence on mechanical peeling. This is especially dangerous in the spring, when the skin is dehydrated and requires vitamins. During such a period, she needs more delicate care.

How to use a scrub correctly?

First, the important thing: peeling for different parts of the body differs in the size of the abrasive particles. So, a cosmetic product for the face will not suit the stomach or legs. When choosing a drug, you should definitely take this factor into account.

Cosmetologists recommend applying the scrub after a shower or relaxing bath, while the epidermis is steamed and the pores are open. In this case, it will be easier to remove dirt and clean the top cover. Apply with massage movements onto damp skin. You can use a special glove. After the procedure, rinse off the substance with running water.

Knowing the rules of peeling and choosing the right cosmetic product, you can prolong your youth and beauty for a long time.

Body scrub: method of application

Many people are confident that they know how to properly apply a scrub to their body, but still make mistakes. We offer tips on how to apply the scrub to your body.

Scrubs are applied to skin moistened with water. But a better effect can be achieved if you steam it a little before the procedure - it will be much easier to remove dead cells. To do this, just spend a little more than 10 minutes in the shower.

The second tip is that it is best to apply the scrub to the body in the evening, since cells divide more actively at night. Thus, the epidermis will recover better after the procedure, and possible redness will have time to disappear by the morning.

Each area of the body has its own instructions on how to use the scrub.

Hips

Before you begin the scrubbing procedure in the shower, you need to prepare your thighs: rub them with a soft bristled washcloth for better blood circulation, but do not rub too hard so as not to damage the skin.

Tender areas: stomach and inner arms

Due to the fact that these areas are quite susceptible to any mechanical impact, it is worth applying the scrub to the body with stroking movements.

Feet

There is always a lot of keratinized and dry skin on the feet. When scrubbing your feet, the application should be more active. In order to remove dead skin particles, you need to thoroughly steam the skin before the procedure. The scrub should be used with a higher exfoliating power than for the rest of the body skin.

Legs and arms

The main purpose of scrubbing the legs is to avoid ingrown hairs, and the hands – to renew the skin and enhance the effect of nourishing and moisturizing creams. The scrub should be applied from the periphery of the limbs (for example, from the hands or ankles) towards the body.

After the scrubbing procedure, rinse off any remaining product from your body and pat your skin dry with a soft towel, but do not rub. A very important aspect for recovery after using a scrub is hydration. It is necessary to apply a nourishing cream to the skin. Face and body cream Clean Line Nourishment and moisturizing is a universal moisturizer, which consists of 20% aloe juice and provides complete skin care.

DIY homemade body scrub

Salt body scrub. The product cleanses the skin well, has an oil-removing effect and helps prevent immune diseases. A large amount of coarse salt is added to the shower gel. The drug is applied only to body skin that does not have scratches or other damage. It is forbidden to use this recipe frequently. We prepare a sugar body scrub in the same way. This sugar body scrub not only has excellent cleansing, but also healing and nourishing effects.
Body scrub made from coffee and honey. This product perfectly cleanses the skin and at the same time invigorates the body. Unlike other drugs, it is not advisable to use this scrub before bedtime, as it may increase the overall well-being. To prepare a homemade potion, use ground coffee. An ordinary strong drink is brewed, then the liquid is drunk or drained, and the grounds are used to prepare a scrub. A small amount of gel is mixed into the product, this is necessary to give viscosity to the mass, then liquid honey is added. It makes a good body scrub with honey if the proportions of the main substances are the same.
Body scrub with sea salt. The prepared preparation has a powerful cleansing effect, but it has a negative effect on the skin if the scrub is used more often than 2 times a month. For normal body skin, apply a small amount of sea salt to a sponge soaked in water, and then apply it to the body with light massage movements. If a person has dry skin, then a salt body scrub is used as follows: a small amount of salt is applied to a banana peel and applied in the same way as the first recipe.
Body scrub made from salt and honey. This product belongs to the smoky composition, but the greater the amount of salt used in the recipe, the less often this scrub can be used. This homemade remedy cleanses the skin of the body, making it velvety and silky. Salt (sea or coarsely ground) is added to a small amount of liquid honey; you can add shower gel to this composition, or you can do without it. The application is similar to that described above.
Oatmeal body scrub. The product has a mild cleansing effect; this recipe is recommended for those with dry or sensitive skin on the body. After using an oatmeal scrub, the skin becomes incredibly clean, tender and soft. The basis is oatmeal, which is mixed with honey.

How to use a facial scrub: rules and tips

There are basic rules that must be followed before the procedure:

Skin cleansing – the face is cleansed of makeup using tonic, lotion or foam.
Warming up - before the procedure, the face is warmed up using a steam bath or applying a hot towel. This is necessary to open the pores of the face, then the nutrients and scrubbing substances will penetrate deeper into the epidermis.
Application of the composition. Slowly, smoothly apply the scrub to your face and process for 3-4 minutes. We move like this: from the tip of the nose to the top of the ears; from the chin to the ear area; from forehead to temples.
Soaking. After the surface of the face is cleansed, the composition should be left for 5-10 minutes to saturate the skin with beneficial ingredients.
Rinse off the scrub. The composition is removed from the face with warm water.
The final moment. Apply a nourishing or moisturizing face cream that is suitable for your skin type.

It is advisable to use the scrub before bed; at this time, epidermal cell division increases and the facial skin becomes more receptive to nutrients and additives.

Having determined your facial skin type and understood the rules for applying the scrub, you can purchase a ready-made composition in a specialized store or pharmacy, but it is better to prepare it at home.

Sugar and oatmeal take on the exfoliating function: they remove dead skin layers, even out the structure and complexion. And olive oil saturates the skin with vitamins A and E, which are responsible for hydration and elasticity. This cleanser is recommended for all skin types.

Grind the oatmeal in a coffee grinder until you get a tablespoon of flour.
Add a teaspoon of sugar.
Heat half a teaspoon of olive oil.
Pour warm oil into the mixture.

Before applying any scrub to your face, steam your skin. Using light massaging movements, distribute the product over your entire face. Avoid contact with the area around the eyes and lips. After rinsing, apply nourishing cream to your face.

Carry out cleansing procedures with a homemade facial scrub regularly, and the result will not take long to arrive. You can experiment by creating unique recipes and adding any products to the composition. Choose ingredients wisely that have a beneficial effect on your skin type.
