Skin Care: How to do body polishing at home – Times of India | – Times of India
Simple ways to do body polishing at home.
Dry Brushing: Start your body polishing routine with dry brushing. Using a natural bristle brush, gently brush your body in upward strokes, moving towards the heart. This helps to exfoliate dead skin cells, stimulate blood circulation, and prepare the skin for further treatments.
Homemade Body Scrub: Prepare a homemade body scrub using natural ingredients. For example, you can combine brown sugar, coconut oil, and a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Apply the scrub to damp skin and massage it in circular motions. Focus on areas prone to dryness or roughness, such as elbows, knees, and heels. Rinse thoroughly to reveal smoother and softer skin.
Coffee Grounds: Coffee grounds make an excellent exfoliant for body polishing. Mix coffee grounds with a carrier oil like olive oil or almond oil to create a paste. Gently massage the mixture onto your skin, paying special attention to cellulite-prone areas. The caffeine in coffee stimulates blood flow, while the coarse texture exfoliates and tightens the skin.
Sea Salt Soak: Draw a warm bath and add sea salt to the water. Soak in this bath for 15-20 minutes to help detoxify and soften your skin. The minerals in sea salt provide a gentle exfoliation, leaving your skin refreshed and rejuvenated.
Moisturize: After exfoliating, it is important to moisturize your skin to lock in hydration. Choose a nourishing body lotion or oil and apply it all over your body. Massage it gently to promote better absorption and leave your skin feeling smooth and supple.
