Scrub Making with Cupboard Ingredients!

There are many ingredients that you can either grab from your kitchen cupboard or from your nearest grocery store which, can be used as a facial or body exfoliant.The question we ask today are what are these ingredients and how can they help you?

Barley Powder: A very fine textured powder that is great for soothing, softening and is suited for all skin types. This is ideal for mature/sensitive skin types. Try adding with yogurt & honey to make a very light and moisturizing scrub.

Oats: This helps to soothe, absorb oil, cleanse and soften the skin. It is great for those with acne, dry, mature and sensitive skin. Grind the oats in your coffee grinder or blender and add with butter milk to give your skin optimal nutrition!

Sea Salt: An amazing skin softener! As you know if you read my last blog post, sugar helps to sloughs off dead skin cells, invigorates and increases circulation. Salt stimulates the skin, muscles, nerves and improves the texture of tired, bumpy and dull skin. Though, salt can be drying if not used with an emollient ie. coconut/olive oil . Avoid using salt scrubs on the face or dry, damaged and delicate skin.

Sugar: If you've tried my brown sugar scrub & brown sugar soap scrub http://www.facebook.com/Nukhara you know that this moisturizers, stimulates, lightens and wakes up dry sagging skin. Sugar also, contains glycolic acid which is one the most effective substances to use in the treatments of many skin conditions such as:

Acne White-heads Blackheads Pustules Bumps
