Why this worksUsing natural ingredients in scrubs can help remove dead skin cells, promote circulation, and leave your skin feeling rejuvenated. The gentle exfoliation from these scrubs can reveal brighter, smoother skin, perfect for the warmer months ahead. It's a simple and effective way to embrace the change of season.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Choose Your Base Start with a base such as sugar, coffee grounds, or oats. Each offers different exfoliating properties, so pick one that suits your skin type. Mix it with a liquid like honey or yogurt for added nourishment.
  2. Add Natural Ingredients Incorporate seasonal fruits like mashed strawberries or avocado for extra vitamins. You can also add a splash of lemon juice for brightening. Just be mindful of potential irritation and patch test before use.
  3. Mix to Consistency Combine your base and added ingredients until you reach a thick, paste-like consistency. You want it to be easy to apply but not too runny; it should stay on your skin without dripping.
  4. Apply and Exfoliate Gently massage the scrub onto your damp face in circular motions, avoiding the eye area. This helps to slough off dead skin while boosting circulation. Rinse off with lukewarm water for best results.
  5. Moisturise After Scrubbing After rinsing off the scrub, follow up with your favourite moisturiser. This will help hydrate your skin and lock in moisture, keeping it fresh and glowing.

Where people go wrong

Common mistakes include using harsh scrubbing motions, which can irritate the skin. Also, be cautious not to use overly acidic ingredients without testing first. Lastly, skipping moisturiser post-scrub can leave your skin feeling dry.

The pro moveFor a soothing effect, refrigerate your scrub before use; it feels fantastic on warm days!
