Spring is coming, which means we’ll soon be revealing more of the skin we’ve been hiding during the winter. Are you one of those people who neglect their body care during the colder months? If you have dry, flaky, dehydrated skin, or rough patches, this guide is for you. Below, we’ve put together a recipe for a simple body scrub and a few tricks that will keep your skin soft and glowing.
Body care is not a priority for many people, since the skin on the body is more resistant than the skin on the face. However, in the long run, the skin on the body will also start to show signs of neglect. Primarily on the décolleté, forearms, hands and even knees. Proper care includes daily body care, but if this is not your habit, a few times a week is better than never.
Whether you use body oil, milk or cream, we recommend that you exfoliate once a week (or at least once a month). This will remove dead skin cells, refresh the surface layer and allow better absorption of care products.
Natural coffee and almond oil body scrub
For a good scrub, you can reach into your own kitchen. All you need is finely ground coffee, sugar, and almond oil. This scrub also has a positive effect on cellulite, helps soften and tighten the skin, and wakes you up! If you are sensitive to caffeine, we recommend that you do not exfoliate in the afternoon or evening.
You will need:
- 1/2 cup of ground coffee
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup almond oil
For an aromatherapy experience and a stronger effect on cellulite, you can add 1-5 drops of rosemary or eucalyptus essential oil to the scrub. Massage the body scrub into wet skin while showering and then rinse. Follow our next trick for even better absorption of skin care products after showering!
Trick to make body care products work better
Body oil will give you beautifully shiny and soft skin, but it is important to apply it correctly. After showering, do not rub your body with a towel, but gently pat your skin. Immediately after, while it is still damp, apply and massage body oil. This way you will avoid excess oil on the skin, and the oil will be quickly absorbed and penetrate deeper into the skin.
We recommend our dry body oil, which has an anti-aging effect and leaves the skin firm and silky. Dry Body Oil is ideal for anyone with dry skin problems, and contains precious argan oil, vitamin E, rosehip oil and immortelle essential oil. It absorbs quickly and brings luxurious revitalization enriched with the scents of rosewood and immortelle essential oils.
