Skin care scrub - an anti-aging recipe

The skin is the largest organ of your body. It plays an important role in protecting your organs on the inside, keeping your warm when you are cold, serving as your body’s air conditioner when you are hot, and keeping out infections. This is a big job by no stretch of the imagination so our skin should be taken care of. Skin care professionals are recommending that exfoliation be incorporated into an anti-aging routine. This will not only remove old, dull skin cells but will promote the production of new ones. Some people just do not have the extra cash to do this. Did you realize that you can make your own body scrub at home for a fraction of the cost? Here is a recipe for an anti-aging exfoliating scrub:

Exfoliating ingredients include the following: sea salt, white sugar, cornmeal, Epsom salt, brown sugar and oatmeal. As the wet ingredient you can use an oil or liquid soap. Scrubs work by removing dirt and grime that is deeply ingrained in the pores leaving your face soft and clear. You can try out this basic recipe for a salt scrub. You will need the following:

• 1 cup salt
• 1 cup oil
• Some scented drops

If you want a firmer scrub, then try two parts of salt to only one part of oil. Add only enough oil to attain the consistency that you desire. The salt and oil may separate. If this happens, just stir them back together before using the scrub.

You only need to use four or five drops of an essential, fragrant oil. Too much may cause skin irritation.

A scrub is a great, effective and inexpensive way to thoroughly cleanse your skin so that it will stay young and vibrant looking.
