Are there any good homemade body scrubs that moisturize your skin? ?

Question

i have dry skin and i am putting on moisturizer but after i shower it becomes a little dry again

Answer 1

Make a sugar scrub. It is easy to make and works pretty well. Look up recipes on the internet for the best one.

Answer 2

if your skin is dry, don't take a super hot shower- use a more tepid water temperature.  Hot water will cause more dryness.  

Use a lightweight body lotion and apply it while your skin is still damp.  Look for ingredients that contain the words "hydrolyzed" meaning the molecules are small enough to penetrate the layers of skin and actually do what they should which is to prevent your skin from losing more moisture.  

Here's some information I found regarding the care of dry skin, I hope you find it helpful:

Avoid the use of tap water when cleansing dry skin. The deposits are too drying on the skin. And never, ever use hot water. Use mineral water to freshen your face. Don't use a washcloth-a rough texture can irritate. In the morning, apply a spray of mineral water on your skin misted on with a plant sprayer. (Do not use a sprayer that had been used for spraying insecticides.) Lightly pat dry.

Dry skin needs plenty of thorough but gentle cleansing, regular stimulation with massage and generous quantities of oil and moisture. It also needs extra careful protection. Washing dry skin with soap and water not only removes grime but also the natural oils protecting the skin. A moisturizer increases the water content of the outer layers of the skin and gives it a soft, moist look.

Use nondetergent, neutral-pH products to cleanse your skin. Avoid using any commercial soap. And always touch your face gently. Double-cleanse with a cream, leaving a light, thin trace of it on the skin after the second cleansing.

Follow a bath or a shower with a mild application of baby oil. Massage your face with home-made nourishing cream every night before retiring. Be generous with the cream in the areas surrounding the eyes where tiny lines and crows feet are born.

Avoid coming in contact with highly alkaline soaps and detergents like washing sodas and powders which contain highly alkaline and drying ingredients.

Moistening with water, then applying a thin film of air-excluding moisturizer, restores the suppleness of the dry skin.

Morning Skin Cleanser/Rejuvenator

Every morning 15 minutes before taking your bath

1 egg yolk

1 teaspoon orange juice

1 teaspoon olive oil and

few drops of rose water

few drops of lime juice

Mix the above ingredients together and apply on your skin.

Beauty Mask for Dry Skin

1 egg

1 teaspoon of honey,

1/2 teaspoon of olive oil and

few drops of rose water

Mix the ingredients thoroughly and use as a mask.

Night Moisturizing

After you clean and tone your skin, apply a splash of water or a water-misting. Pat almost dry with a soft towel, then smooth moisturizer from bosom to hairline. Allow five minutes for immediate absorption (cover your face and throat with warm washcloths to hasten penetration), then blot off any excess moisturizer with a tissue.

Men can skip the toner but should moisturize the delicate skin around the eye area.

Day Moisturizing

Apply a touch of your natural moisturizer over the freshly cleansed, toned, and dampened skin on your throat, cheeks, and around your eyes. Men should follow a two-step process. Apply moisturizer immediately after shaving. Wait ten minutes. Then moisturize again.

Answer 3

A good easy scrub is just sea salt (with the bigger grains), jojoba oil (which is going to really moisturize), and an essential oil of your choice (just for smell)

Have Fun!
