Instructions:
- In a bowl, pour the cornmeal.
- Drizzle olive oil over the cornmeal and mix until you achieve a wet, pasty consistency.
- Gently scrub your face with the mixture.
- Store the scrub in a jar or zipper bag. It lasts a long time without refrigeration, but keeping it cool extends its life.
- Rinse off with warm water to reveal smooth, refreshed skin.
Benefits: This scrub is a perfect blend of simplicity and effectiveness. Cornmeal gently exfoliates, removing dead skin cells, while olive oil moisturizes, leaving your skin feeling soft and rejuvenated.
2. The Ultimate All-Over Sea Salt Scrub
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sea salt
- Olive oil
Instructions:
- Combine sea salt and olive oil in a bowl until you get a pasty, non-runny consistency.
- Use this scrub to exfoliate your face and body. It's particularly effective for dry skin areas like elbows and knees.
- Spend at least three minutes scrubbing your face. Note that the salt may sting slightly, but it's part of the process.
- Rinse off with warm water, but avoid using soap for a couple of days to allow your skin to benefit from the natural oils.
- For the best experience, have someone help you with the body scrub.
Benefits: This all-over scrub is a wonder for dry skin. The sea salt effectively lifts off dead skin cells and impurities, while olive oil deeply hydrates. You'll be left with skin that's not just clean, but soft, smooth, and glowing.
