The small purple medicinal plant has many positive properties. The scent of lavender alone has a calming effect, helps against insomnia and nervousness. But also headaches you can easily get under control with lavender.
This is also the reason why lavender is used in so many recipes and applications. From delicious lavender jelly and salt to body care like lavender cream or even a fine lavender scrub.
This is what you should know about peeling yourself!
Why you should make a lavender scrub yourself
Peelings are now available in every drugstore. The Internet is also full of ready-mixed peelings. So why even bother mixing one yourself?
It's simple: first, it's no work at all - the scrub is ready to use in just 10 minutes. If you are skilled, you need only 5 minutes at all.
Secondly, the lavender scrub contains only natural ingredients. Store-bought products often use microplastics as abrasives. This is neither good for your body nor for the environment. The microscopic plastic particles end up in wastewater and in nature. Here they damage the environment. In the DIY version, sugar or salt are used instead. The effect remains the same.
Thirdly, with the self-mixed scrub, you always have a nice gift. Be it for a stressed girlfriend, for a birthday or even for Christmas. By the way, the scrub is also a great souvenir, if you ever forgot to get something and do not want to show up empty-handed. :)
The ingredients for lavender scrub
So that you can see how good the scrub does your skin, here are a few words about the ingredients. We'll start with the most important.
Lavender scrub with fresh flowers
If you have the opportunity, you should reach for fresh flowers. They smell much more intense and also look really pretty.
Of course, you can also use dried flowers for the lavender scrub.
Here it is important that you crush the flowers a little with a mortar beforehand. So the essential oils come out of the lavender.
So easy you can make lavender oil yourself
Coconut oil in lavender scrub
Each scrub always consists of a skin-care ingredient. In our case this time Coconut oil*. The oil moisturizes your skin and makes it beautifully soft and supple.
Coconut oil* is also rich in minerals, antioxidants and vitamins. Applying it to the face can prevent irritated skin and spots. It is also said to smooth out wrinkles.
Sugar in lavender scrub
Normally we leave the fingers of household sugar. But here it comes just in time. Because every scrub needs an ingredient that acts as an abrasive. That is, with which you can remove old skin cells. Sugar is made for the lavender scrub.
The perfect gift: DIY lavender soap
With circular movements, the flowers and sugar crystals remove dry skin. This prevents the appearance of clogged pores, pimples and ingrown hairs.
