13. Homemade Body Scrub with Cornmeal, Avocado Oil, Orange Essential Oil and Chamomile Essential Oil

An exfoliating, detoxifying and deeply nourishing body scrub, suitable for all skin types and especially for dry, mature skin with age spots.

What you need:

• 1 cup of cornmeal
• ½ cup of avocado oil
• 5 drops orange essential oil
• 5 drops chamomile essential oil

Why you need them:

Cornmeal deep cleanses and exfoliates at the same time.

Avocado oil acts as an emollient and promotes soft and supple tissue. This oil is high in sterolin, and studies show that sterolin reduces the occurrence of age spots while softening and soothing dry and itchy skin. Learn more about the benefits of applying avocado on skin.

Orange essential oil helps to detoxify a congested skin, promotes the production of collagen and increases the blood flow to the skin. It is helpful at soothing dry, irritated skin as well as acne-prone skin.
Chamomile essential oil diminishes scars, marks and spots on the skin and help cure acne by removing toxins and cleaning sebaceous glands.

How to make the body scrub:

Blend the cornmeal with the avocado oil, add in the essential oils and mix. After showering, apply to skin, gently massaging with firm circular motions for 5 minutes. Rinse off (without using soap or shower gel) and pat dry.

How often?

Use this homemade body scrub once or twice a week.
