Body scrub recipes - from warm brown sugar to cleansing strawberry"Believe it or not, my husband is hooked on brown sugar body scrub! We use it at least once a week! Great stuff!!” All of us are unique, and so are our bodies. With body scrub recipes, you can meet your skin's needs because you can try out differrent ingredients and look for best results. Skin will respond differently to different oils and different exfoliating agents. The rule of thumb is: apply it when you are just out of the shower, and if you are looking to moisturize the skin, apply a moisturizer (body lotion) for best results.
Although avocado and apricot body scrubs and other homemade body scrubs are not as well known as the brown sugar body scrub recipe, they are still wonderful scrubs to use if you want to exfoliate the dead skin cells, and moisturize the skin at the same time. One of the most popular body scrub recipes is the one for brown sugar body scrub. It is often described as yummy and soothing. Certainly, it is not caloric, so if you are on a diet, you can freely enjoy it without worrying about gaining weight :) Brown sugar is full of molasses which makes it brown and moist. Its grains are smaller than of regular, white sugar which makes it a perfect exfoliant. It is not too harsh on the skin, it is gentle and easily sloughs off dead skin cells. It smells great, warms the skin up, and leaves it smooth and luscious.

Aloe vera gel is gentle on skin, it speeds its healing and reduces the possible irritation and pain. The next brown sugar scrub contains lemon which is a great natural disinfectant. It opens up the clogged pores and cleanses them thoroughly so your skin can "breathe" better.
