Let’s prepare an amazing baking soda body scrub at home as a daily exfoliate to remove all the dead skin cells from the skin. Baking soda also known as the sodium bicarbonate is easily available in all the markets and inexpensive as well. Baking soda is very useful in skincare remedies and even people with sensitive skin find it effective without being irritating. You can easily create the body scrubs according to your skin type (dry, oily, acne-prone, or sensitive), by adding different essential oils extracted from flowers and plants.
Here is the Simple Body Scrub Recipe for you
Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda in the required amount of water to create a thin paste. You will need to mix 5 to 7 tablespoons of baking soda and adequate water to form the body scrub. Apply it on your skin and leave it for a few minutes then rinse it thoroughly and moisturize your body with a natural moisturizer.
If you are looking to create a baking soda body scrub as according to your skin type, then add 3 to 5 drops of lavender essential oil for sensitive skin and 3 to 5 drops of Roman chamomile in the body scrub. To create a body scrub for oily and acne-prone skin, simply add 3 to 5 drops of tea tree oil and 3 to 5 drops of lavender essential oil in it. Looking to treat dry skin then use 3 to 5 drops of Ylang Ylang and add 3 to 5 drops of lavender essential oil in it.
These baking soda scrub remedies are all provided to you so that you can use it just as according to your skin type. The best thing about this homemade body scrub is that it can be used to soften calluses. It can be made more effective by adding lemon juice to it.
Now you can also make a version of baking soda body scrub for your child. Children always enjoy using cut fruit rinds as a body scrub. For example, you can rub a pineapple rind with the sharp edges carefully removed (or lemon peel or an orange) over the feet with the baking soda scrub we have described above.
