To do the exfoliating massage for the body, you only need a good exfoliant and a few minutes in the bath. You can buy a scrub at the pharmacy, at the market, in beauty product stores but this can also be home made using natural products, free of parabens.
This exfoliating massage will increase blood circulation, eliminate toxins and impurities and will also eliminate dead cells and excess keratin in the skin, leaving the skin prepared to be deeply moisturized, being a great idea to make before applying creams like reducing gel, anti-aging and anti-cellulite, for example.
Step by step exfoliating massage
You should prepare the homemade scrub using an oil of your choice and you can add cornmeal, sugar or coarse salt, the latter being has larger grains that can hurt the skin and so this should only be used to exfoliate the elbows, knees and on the soles of the feet.
1st step
During the bath, with the body still wet put about 2 tablespoons of this exfoliant in your hand and then rub with circular movements throughout the body. Begin by the legs, thighs and buttocks and then apply the exfoliating also on the abdomen, back and arms. Go putting the scrub in your hand as he extinguishes.
2nd step
Make sure that no area of the body has left without receiving the exfoliation and insist on areas where the skin tends to be drier: elbows, knees and feet.
3rd step
Rinse the entire body and gently wipe with a soft towel or let the body dry naturally. With the skin still wet apply a good moisturizing cream until the product is completely absorbed.
4th step
To make the exfoliation on the face you should only use a less intense exfoliating, for example, the mixture of moisturizing cream with oat flakes. Simply rub a small amount across the face, pressing more on the forehead and around the mouth and then rinse, without forgetting to apply a moisturizer to the face.
This exfoliating massage can be performed every 15 days or once a month for those who have very dry skin. If you have very rough hands, this is a great way to soften them and so it may be a good idea to keep some of this homemade scrub in a glass container and always have it in the bathroom so you can exfoliate the skin whenever you feel like it very dry, but it is essential to hydrate the skin soon after, since exfoliation removes the natural hydration of the skin.
