DIY - 10 Homemade Body Scrubs

Hello Lovelies,

                       First of all I would like to wish all my fellow Sri Lankans a Happy Sinhala Hindu New year. 
I hope the coming year will be full of love and prosperity.

Coming back at today's post it's all about scrubs! yeah! Am I the only one who get this happy sensation when somebody says body scrubs?



I absolutely love scrubs of any kind specially the ones you can make at home. :D

There are so many benefits of using a body scrub in regular bases,
 - It will exfoliate your skin
 - Give your skin a glow 
 - Encourage the natural flow of circulation of bodily fluids 
 - Improve anti-ageing and cellulite
 - It will help you relax 
 - Give skin hydration 
 - Help to fade dark spots

If I could go on I could I mean stay at home spa? who wouldn't want that..

So here are the top ten favourite body scrubs of mine. I have tried many of them.

To a FAQ I don't know the shelf life of these scrubs. I always make a small batch enough for a week and store mine in a dry cold place where there's no direct sunlight.

Natural beauty recipes






These are my top 5 natural beauty recipes :) 


1. Exfoliating face scrub

2 tsp of Oatmeal and 1tsp of baking soda mixed with enough water to create a paste and apply this scrub after you wash your face with warm water. Massage your face for 30secs in circular motion and wash it off with luke warm water. Apply your favorite moisturizer.

2.  Green tea facial toner 

Mix some green tea power with water or put a green tea bag in to hot water and let it cool down. Apply the mixture with a cotton ball before you put makeup or moisturizer on your face. It's best to make this fresh everyday.


3. Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Honey for soothing acne scars 

Mix 2tsp of Honey with a teaspoon of Cinnamon and nutmeg. The consistency should be thick. Apply this paste and leave it for 15-30mins. Wash off with warm water scrubbing softly.  


     4. Olive oil conditioning treatment 


Massage about 2tps of Olive oil in to your hair and scalp. Get a warm damp towel and wrap it around your head and leave it for 30-45mins. Rinse the Olive oil with shampoo.

5. Orange peel powder and milk to reduce skin discolouration 

Dry Orange peels and grind them in to power form. Add milk to this powder making a paste. Apply on clean face leaving it for 20mins and wash it off with luke warm water.
