Toning scrubs with honey and coffee

Exfoliation will help to deep cleanse the skin, make it smoother and prepare it for other cosmetic procedures. Tonic scrubs with honey and coffee are perfect for everyone - fit fitness lovers, young mothers, and those who have just begun the struggle for harmony and beauty.

Scrubbing the skin is one of the best ways to influence problem areas of the body. The solid particles contained in the paste allow you to cleanse the skin of keratinized and dead cells. External pollution is also eliminated. After such exposure, the skin surface is very susceptible to any other cosmetic products: creams are more easily absorbed and “work” better. Wraps and massages after scrubbing also become much more effective.

If we add to all this the useful properties that the scrub components themselves possess, it turns out just a miracle cure, which, with regular and proper use, can bring excellent results.

Honey is taken as the basis of a cosmetic product.It perfectly nourishes the skin, allows hands to glide easily, massaging it, promotes healing of cracks and scratches, and softens. Ground coffee, due to its physical properties, exfoliates the skin well. In addition, the caffeine contained in it tones, stimulates cells to renew, removes excess moisture.

Any kind of honey is suitable for making a scrub - this is not as important as if we were taking honey inside. But it must be liquid! Candied honey should be heated in a water bath or held in the microwave to melt it.

Do not rush to throw away the rest of the coffee from the Turks or the coffee maker - coffee grounds also make good, fairly gentle scrubs, for example, for the face. It is believed that they contain less caffeine, that is, it serves exclusively for exfoliation. The powder can be dried, or it can be mixed with honey immediately.

You can store such a composition, but it is not recommended to keep it for more than 3-5 days. Moreover, melted honey is likely to be candied again. The ideal option is to prepare one portion of the scrub right before use.

Instead of olive oil, you can use flaxseed, corn, almond oil, and also a very healthy grape seed oil.

Sea salt is another magical ingredient. Scrub with salt saturates the skin with microelements, gives tone and health and, of course, is a good “abrasive”. Mix a tablespoon of salt (if you come across a large one, grind it in advance) with the same amount of coffee. Melt or heat slightly honey (half a cup) and stir in a mixture of salt and ground coffee.

You can make a mixture of cake left in the coffee maker and sugar. Such a sweet scrub will nourish and cleanse the skin, and using it is a pleasure!

No one applies a scrub to dry skin without preparation. Before applying the exfoliating paste, you need to take a shower, it is advisable to steam out completely, or at least steam out those areas where you plan to apply the scrub. You can lightly rub the body with a washcloth - a massage mitten made of coarse fiber is best. After that, you need to wipe yourself dry with a towel and apply the paste. After a couple of minutes, when it is absorbed, you can start making light massage movements - rub the skin, wrinkle, stroke.Then the composition is washed off, and a nourishing / anti-cellulite / moisturizing cream is applied to the skin. The most stubborn can make a wrap.

General rules for using scrubs:

• Do not apply the paste on damaged skin. Scratches, pimples, skin disease - all these are contraindications for scrubbing.
• The skin must be pre-cleaned and prepared.
• Before use, it is advisable to do an allergy test - the composition is applied for 15 minutes on the inside of the forearm. Redness or itching may indicate a negative reaction to the composition of the paste.
• Do not rub the skin too hard: solid particles “work” so well. Excessive force may cause scratches. The procedure should bring pleasant sensations!
• Particular attention should be paid to the roughest areas - elbows, knees, feet.
• The optimal frequency of body scrub application is once a week. If you do it more often, the cells may not have time to renew themselves, and the top layer of the skin will be damaged.
• After the procedure, it is best to relax, listen to pleasant music and drink herbal tea.

Many women notice a slight redness after application, but it quickly passes and is most likely due to the work of the active components. A light massage with a special brush brings a good effect.
