The number of cosmetics available on shop shelves can sometimes make your head spin. Which one to choose? It's quite a challenge! So try making your own scrub using products you can easily find in your kitchen.

A homemade scrub is not only natural and effective, but also environmentally friendly - without unnecessary packaging and chemical additives. What's more, by making your own cosmetic, you reduce your use of plastic. As you know, a homemade scrub can be stored in a glass jar or other packaging you already have at home, further reducing waste.

Homemade scrub - it's easier than you think

One of the biggest advantages of homemade scrubs, besides their natural composition, is the speed of preparation. You only need a few minutes to create your own cosmetic. It's really simple - just combine a few ingredients and you'll end up with a ready-made, organic skincare product.

Coffee peeling

To prepare the coffee scrub you need:

  • half a cup of coffee grounds;
  • a teaspoon of cinnamon;
  • a tablespoon of olive oil.

Don't rub your eyes - that's really all it takes to create an effective beauty product. Simply combine all the ingredients and you have a natural scrub that not only smooths the skin but also helps fight cellulite.

Sugar scrub

A sugar scrub is even simpler to prepare - you only need two ingredients. Here they are:

  • half a cup of sugar;
  • two tablespoons of olive oil.

Sounds trivial? And good - because it is! Simply mix the ingredients together to create a gentle but effective body cleansing scrub. If you want to enrich it with a pleasant fragrance and additional skin care properties, add a little blended fruit - such as strawberries or raspberries.

Yoghurt body scrub

To prepare the yoghurt scrub you will need:

  • 2 tbsp oat bran;
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice;
  • half a cup of natural yoghurt.

Simply combine the ingredients together for a gentle, creamy cosmetic. The yoghurt intensely moisturises, the bran gently exfoliates and the lemon gives the skin a fresh feel. The result? The skin becomes smooth, soft and intensely nourished.
