Body scrub?
How do I use it? I just purchased honey and brown sugar body scrub to exfoliate and there is no directions for use on the jar. I wanna do it right.
is it the kind with oil, too? In anycase, wash up first with your regular soap, then use the scrub. I generally just rub a bit in my hand and use on the areas that need the most exfoliating, like elbows, feet, knees, etc. I use it lightly on other areas.
Depending on the grain, you might need to be careful in areas with thinner skin, like your face or underarm. There are scrubs that have walnut shells and these can scratch sensitive areas.
That brings me to another point- test to be sure your skin doesn't get irritated. The honey might be a soothing agent so you will likely be ok. I use the ones with oil becuase I have such dry skin, I'd flake away if I didn't pair the moisturizer with the scrub!
What's the difference between "body wash" and "body scrub"?
I see stuff that says "body wash" and "body scrub", like soap & glory's line, but i have no idea what the difference is.
Also, what's the purpose of each?
And what are the advantages/disadvantages of each?
body wash is just a liquid version of soap...except a lot of times with a moisturizing component. Body scrub is also a liquid version of soap, except it has little beads or granules of a substance that helps to exfoliate your skin. The little beads or granules (which might feel sort of like salt or sand scrubbing your skin) actually help to remove the layer of skin on the surface to reveal the healthier, glowing skin underneath.
Both are beneficial depending on what you're looking for. If you want that extra glow, then the scrub is probably your best bet. But most body washes have moisturizing ingredients, which is good if you need a little moisture.
and body wash is to
wash your body
you would have thought of that?

Where can I buy a body scrub like that at the body shop for a cheaper price?
I love the body shop's body scrub in mango. But at 17 dollars a jar I can't afford it anymore, because I go through them very quickly. I went to a few drugstores and I couldn't find any that smelled as nice as the ones at the body shop. Can anyone reccomend a body scrub that is cheaper that smells similar to the mango one at the body shop.
Not sure about the mango scent, but St. Ives apricot scrub is fantastic, and a total bargain.
How do i make a homemade body scrub?
I usually make a homemade body scrub with coarse sugar and olive oil. I dont have any oil, in a college dorm room. Any ideas on what to use? I have sugar. . .
2 cups white sugar
1 cup honey
2 TBS tea
5 drops vanilla
Mix and enjoy your new exfoliating scrub:)
How can i make a good homemade exfoliating body scrub?
i have an oily skin. i'm on the lookout for a natural scrub that's not too abrasive, applicable on all body parts.
when i mean applicable on all body parts ,
i'd want to know if exfoliating scrubs can be used in the bust region too.
Homemade Exfoliating Body Scrub
Easy, gentle and effective! You probably have all these ingredients in your pantry already!
2 tablespoons oatmeal
2 tablespoons cornmeal
2 tablespoons wheat germ
To use: combine a teaspoon or two with a mixture of water and/or cleanser to make a paste.
Massage gently into skin and rinse well.
1 lemon, grated
1 pomegranate, peel (you need the inner and whitish part)
1/2 teaspoon sea sand
1 very ripe avocado, pulp of
Dry the pomegranate peel for 2 days.
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together.
Blend this mixture with the pulp of a very ripe avocado so that the whole mixture gets a good consistency.
Gently apply this concoction on your body.
Rinse abundantly with cool water.
Apply your body cream.
Enjoy!
this one look interesting
Applesauce Deep Cleanser
2/3 cup granulated table sugar
3 tablespoons applesauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
Combine in a bowl and stir well. Use in the shower as a one-time body scrub. This recipe isn't meant to keep, and do be careful in the tub as the olive oil will make the floor slick.
Apparently applesauce has something called malic acid in it, and amylase enzymes that help get rid of dead skin cells and dirt. The sugar is a gentle exfoliant and the olive oil is a moisturizer
How do I give a proper body scrub?
I want to treat someone special with a body scrub. I have never gotten one so it is hard for me to even begin to guess how. I have a proper body scrub from a salon. Can someone please tell me step by step what to do?
Id go to beauty supply store and get a cloth massage glove/wash cloth (i have a terry cloth massage glove) and find a nice body scrub preferably a sugar scrub as salt can burn if they have any little knicks or cuts.Now if your doing this at home this is where it get tricky (unless u have a massage table for them to lay on) if u dont then id lay out a blanket (not a new nice one) and just have them lay down put about 1/2 cup or less of the body scrub in your hand and in circular motions go over there body from top (shoulders) to bottom.circular motion help get blood flowing and is the best way to use a body scrub.Id also probably have them shower a little bit before hand so so the dry skin is loose already and not all dry and brittle.
1. Use the scrub gloves (the best ones are at The Body Shop, although a little expensive) to wash the body. Use a shower gel that coincides with the scrub you want to uses. Lightly massage it on the front and back of the body avoiding sensitive areas such as the nipples. Circular motions are the best for blood circulation. Rinse.
2. Pick a body scrub with a nice oil, like sunflower seed, or almond. You can choose one with salt, sugar, or some type of ground stone or seed. Massage it in long strokes, again avoiding sensitive areas. Rinse thoroughly
3. Massage on a good lotion or oil, again coinciding with the gel and scrub. And your done!
This process can be quite messy so def. do it in a bathroom!
Hope that helps.
Should I use a body cream or body scrub on my face?
I have bought a Boots Natural Collection body cream and body scrub. Can I use it on my face too?
I wouldn't use either on my face. Use a facial wash; Boots do lots of reasonably priced ones.
and if not, try it
best face cleanser is cetaphil
Buy some St Ives apricot scrub for face (cheap at walmart) and Cetaphil moisturizer (not too cheap, but good).
ex. don't use sand on your face use sugar.
Your face has a sensitive layer of skin that can't take the harshness of some of the ingredients in body scrubs.
You will have to use face cream.
Body creams, scrubs etc are made for the body, that why the items/products are separate. Body creams are made from ingredients to penentrate through tougher skin and they are heavier. This can make your skin form milia (dry white area around your eyes usually) where there is too mush moisture there and so the skin does the oppisite effect to compensate and dry out.
The scrub will be too corosive for your skin, strip too much of your natural sebum on your epidermis (skin) and so unbalance your skin, which will usually dry out your skin to compensate for the product drying it out.
Your skin on your face is thinner, delicate, and sensitive compared to your skin. So they all should do what they say. So they will moisturise your body, but not your face.
Hope i helped
When making a body scrub, can you use coffee grounds that were already used to make coffee with?
I know that coffee grounds are a great ingredient to make homemade body scrubs with. I don't want to buy coffee just to put it in a scrub, so I'm wondering, if you have already used the coffee grounds to make coffee can you still add them to your scrub? Will it still work and give you the benefits of coffee? I'm wondering because it seems like if you've already made coffee from it, it might have drained all the good things of the coffee away... hope this isn't too confusing how I've phrased it!
Thanks!
Shalom, Salaam
no most importantly they're already too soft, and most of the good elements have been washed away.
Can i mix green tea extract with green tea powder in a body scrub?
I want to make my own green tea body scrub, and am wondering if I can mix green tea powder with green tea extract and sugar.
yes. try to add a little jojoba oil or sunflower oil to it as well. i know that you can order the matcha green tea from origins stores or origins.com. its delicious and it is the most potent green tea on earth derived from the oldest tea fields in japan
Can anyone recommend a really good body scrub that will leave my skin silky smooth?
I am London based. Would preferably rather not spend a fortune on a body scrub.
Thanks.
When I was in London I found the body scrubs by The Sanctuary (Spa at Covent Garden...and also available at Boots) to be lovely. The products smell great, aren't too expensive, and they work very well. Try the Salt Scrub, which comes in a glass jar and costs less £8. Their Kyphi Nourishing Hot Sugar Scrub is truly amazing - but I can't get that here in the States. It heats up a little bit when you use it and the granules are small so they slough off even the tiniest bit of unsmoothness. It also contains moisturizing oils - and costs less than £10. A bargain, I'd say.
I follow my body scrub regiment w/ Body Moisture Spray. Really wonderful results!
