Body scrub

Body care requires the attendance of a complete body peeling every two or three months.

Here are detailed steps for a body scrub, and some homemade recipes.

  • A ripe banana with a brown peel.
  • Three tablespoons of granulated sugar.
  • A quarter of a tablespoon of vanilla.

  • Half a cup of yogurt.
  • Half a teaspoon of turmeric.

Skin peeling steps

  • Prepare the bathroom to be suitable for peeling, by closing its air vents, filling the bathtub with very hot water, then taking off your clothes until your body is exposed to water vapor and the pores of the skin are opened, and it is preferable to cover your hair with a plastic bag so that the water vapor does not harm it.
  • Dip the loofah in a little hot water, remove make-up from your face, then wash it with a gentle cleanser, and wait ten minutes.
  • Go down in the bathtub for ten minutes, and try to relax as much as possible.
  • Start with the feet, then up the body, by applying the scrub to your skin, and then massage it in circular motions with your fingertips in and out.
  • Focus on the darker and rougher areas of the body, until you pray to exfoliate your face, so that the body has become covered with the scrub.
  • Rub your body in circular motions with a coarse loofah, to stimulate blood circulation in the body.
  • Just wash your body with water.
  • Rub the loofah over your skin from top to bottom.
  • Wash your skin with lukewarm water, then rub your body with a shower gel alone, that is, without using a loofah.
  • Dry your whole body with a towel with gentle patting, not rubbing; Because the skin will be sensitive at that time.
  • Leave your body a little wet, do not dry it completely, and spray it from a bottle of toner from a distance of about twenty centimeters, after shaking it.
  • Put on your bathrobe for thirty minutes, then relax in bed a little so that the body absorbs the toner.
  • Apply moisturizer to face, heels and elbows.
  • Be sure to wear cotton clothes so as not to irritate the skin.
