1. Chocolate Body Scrub

Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil (Buy From Here)
• 1.5 tablespoon organic cocoa powder (Buy From Here)
• 1 tablespoon vitamin E oil (Buy From Here)

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and store in an airtight glass container.  You can keep this scrub for 7-10 days and do not let the water get inside the bottle.

How to apply

• Gently massage the mixture into your body in a circular motion before going for the shower. After your shower, pat your skin and apply moisturizer.
• Massage the mixture in a circular direction for about 10 minutes. Repeat it 2-3 times in a week for the desired result. You can take a warm shower before applying the chocolate body scrub because warm water makes the skin susceptible to proper exfoliation as it opens up the skin pores and helps to absorb nutrition from coffee.

Sugar is a big depository of skin beautifying qualities if used topically on the skin as an exfoliating scrub. It can deliver excellent results in brightening and polish your skin. It has moisturizing properties that prevent the skin from drying.

Coconut oil has lauric acid that acts as the antibacterial agent and it exfoliates the dead skin cells. Due to saturated fats, it melts on the skin when it is being applied, without leaving any kind of residues. It easily seeps into the skin pores, moisturizing deeply. It preserves the smoothness of the skin by keeping it wrinkle-free.

Vitamin E Oil helps fight the effect of free radicals that cause signs of aging like wrinkles, age spots, and dark circles. It’s an antioxidant which is a food for a hydrated and nourished skin.

Cacao powder is high in antioxidants which block harmful free radicals in the body. It also protects the body against premature aging. It is high in vitamin C and magnesium, which helps in protecting the skin and keeping it healthy. Cacao helps in improving the skin’s complexion. It also provides hydration to the skin, which is a must for a younger looking skin.

2. Himalayan Pink Salt Foot Scrub

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup pink Himalayan salt (Buy From Here)
• 2 tablespoon baking soda (Buy From Here)
• 1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil (Buy From Here)
• 10-12 drops of lemon essential oil (Buy From Here)

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and store in an airtight glass container.  You can keep this scrub for 10-15 days and do not let the water get inside the bottle.

How to apply

• Fill a small foot spa tub or basin with warm (not hot) water. Optional: For every six cups of water added to the basin, add one cup of milk (a naturally exfoliating and nourishing ingredient).
• Soak your feet for at least 20 minutes, allowing the milk’s lactic acid to soften the skin.
• Now follow up with the Himalayan food scrub and massage it into the skin in a circular motion, paying special attention to the extra-rough spots on the heels and big toes.
• After rinsing, apply a rich foot cream (if done before sleeping) or a non-greasy lotion (if done at any time of the day) and pull on a pair of socks to seal the moisture in.
• Repeat this for 2-3 times a week.

Himalayan salt has a soothing and relaxing effect on the skin by removing dirt and toxins from the body. It helps to relieve dry and itchy skin and facilitates quick healing by opening up the pores, improving circulation and hydrating the tissues. It makes your skin softer, supple and acts as a moisturizer for dry, chapped skin.

Baking soda has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties which kill the microbes. It unclogs skin pores and maintains the optimum skin’s pH and gives a healthy glow to the skin. It is a good exfoliator as it has tiny granules which deep cleanse the hair follicle and removes the dirt, dry skin, and dead skin cells. It is a perfect remedy for removing dark spots, scars due to its deep pore cleansing properties and give a way to regenerate new skin cells.

Lemon has Antibacterial and Antimicrobial properties which kill harmful microbes. The familiar scent of lemon oil can help you refocus and relax, while the essential oil removes toxins from your skin. It increases circulation, which helps your body heal itself while warming the feet and brightening dull skin.

Due to saturated fats, it melts on the skin when it is being applied, without leaving any kind of residues. It easily seeps into the skin pores, moisturizing deeply.

Cocoa and Shea Butter is a wonderful, natural moisturizer that melts just above room temperature. It is high in fatty acids which penetrates the skin for deep hydration. They are rich in antioxidants, Vitamin A and E and fatty acids.
