4 Body Scrubs to Make Your Skin Glow

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Valdosta chapter.

Although the winter usually comes with cold weather, harsh lips and dry skin, it doesn’t have to be that way. It is possible to still acheive or maintain your glowing skin during the cold season. While you can use lotions, or oils, there are also many body scrubs that are very beneficial to making your skin glow. Here are a few you can use year round:

1. Banana, Coconut and Sugar Scrub

You only need three ingredients: banana, coconut butter/oil, shea butter and sugar. Not only does it smell amazing, this scrub is perfect to acheive glowing skin. While the sugar removes dead skin, the coconut butter/oil moisturizes the skin. Mix ingredients in a blender and then stir in sugar. 

2. Vanilla and Sugar Scrub

You will need raw sugar, vanilla extract, white sugar and almond oil. This is the perfect recipe for those who have sensitive skin. Mix the two sugars, then add the almond oil and vanilla extract! 

3. Peppermint and Sugar Scrub

This scrub will leave you not only smelling wonderful, but feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. You will need white sugar, coconut or almond oil, peppermint essential oil, and red food coloring/raspberry pomegranate juice. Mix the oil with the sugar, add a few drops of peppermint oil and food coloring or juice, and mix!

4. Homemade Oatmeal Scrub

This scrub will help to exfoliate dead skin cells and make you feel as if you’ve just stepped out of the spa. You will need coconut oil, ground oatmeal, olive oil, and brown sugar. Blend the oats together as much as possible, then the rest of the ingredients and enjoy!

HCXO!
