2 DIY Skin Glowing Scrubs for Summer

To keep your skin healthy, it’s vital that you moisturise and exfoliate. 

At Meenoo Organics, we know that from the morning shower that depletes your skin’s moisture, to the dust and smog that your skin has to filter, and the harsh effects of the sun and wind, your day-to-day activities have a significant effect on your skin. 

If you don’t regularly exfoliate your face and body your skin’s pores can clog, making moisture absorption a lot harder, particularly to the deeper layers of skin. Using a face and body scrub once a week will not only leave your skin feeling silky smooth but will also stimulate blood flow and the overall tone and health of your skin.

Here are a couple of our favourite recipes for an all over body/face exfoliant. Simply mix the ingredients of the recipe you like best - or have ready access to in your pantry. (If you need any of these oils, you can find many of them online here on ekko.world or at places like Biome.)

Sweet cacao scrub

• 1 cup brown sugar 
• ½ cup sweet almond oil (you can also use olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, macadamia or a mix)
• 1 teaspoon unsweetened cacao powder
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract 
• ¼ teaspoon vitamin E oil (optional, but great antioxidant) 

Flower Power scrub

• 1 cup white sugar 
• ½ cup olive oil (you can also use almond oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, macadamia oil or a mix)
• 5 drops lavender essential oil (*make sure they are real essential oils and not fragrance oils) 
• 5 drops Ylang Ylang essential oil*
• 5 drops Geranium essential oil*
• ¼ teaspoon vitamin E oil (optional, but great antioxidant) 

TO APPLY, TAKE ABOUT A SPOONFUL AND GENTLY RUB ONTO YOUR FACE AND BODY USING CIRCULAR MOTIONS. (BE CAREFUL IF USING IN THE SHOWER, AS THE OILS USED MAY MAKE THE FLOOR SLIPPERY.) RINSE WITH COOL WATER AND FOLLOW YOUR EXFOLIATION WITH A GOOD MOISTURISER. 

The right moisturiser after a shower will help restore your skin's oils, lock in moisture, assist healing of tiny fissures in your skin, and create a layer of soothing protection from damaging environments.
