7 Full Body Peelings For Dry Skin

Dry skin needs a particularly gentle, moisturizing peeling.

Facial scrubs are a common beauty procedure for cleansing and renewing the skin. However, there are people who go one step further and deeply cleanse and care for the skin all over their body with full body scrubs.

You can use it to support skin regeneration and improve the appearance of the skin and your physical well-being. In today’s article you will find some ideas and suggestions for great full body scrubs that help with dry skin.

1. Banana and sugar scrub

ingredients

• 1 ripe banana
• 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar (45 g)

preparation

• Mash the ripe banana and mix it with sugar.

• Spread the mixture all over your body and wash off the scrub after 15 minutes.

If you only want to use the scrub on your face, make sure that you use less sugar. Bananas contain potassium and other nutrients that are ideal for deep revitalization.

The great thing about this scrub is that you don’t need any extra oil. The mixture of sugar and banana is very balanced and is particularly suitable for people with oily skin.

2. Green clay full body scrubs

Green clay is ideal for people with sensitive skin and for anyone looking for a gentle way of cleansing their body. All you have to do is mix the green clay with a little olive oil.

The application of this composition guarantees a thorough cleaning of the skin surface without causing undesirable side effects.

• In addition, clay absorbs impurities and regenerates skin tissue that has been exposed to the sun. In addition, the clay mask shows its full effect after less than 10 minutes.
• You should massage the clay in using circular motions. This removes the impurities from the skin.
• It is best to use warm water when washing up.

3. Olive oil and Himalayan salt as a peeling mixture

Himalayan salt comes from Pakistan. It is a pink mineral that is rich in cleansing ingredients.

If you are using this naturally occurring treasure in a scrub, all you have to do is  add a little olive oil. Because the oil helps the peeling stick to the skin while the salt cleanses.

• Among the natural body scrubs that we introduce to you, the Himalayan scrub is one of the most effective. However, you shouldn’t use the scrub too often, because less is more.
• The peeling is very suitable for the night as your skin is then not exposed to sunlight.

4. Coconut oil and sugar moisturizing scrub

Few natural products are able to supply the skin with as much moisture as coconut oil.

Coconut oil promotes the maintenance of collagen and moisture. In addition, it helps you keep your skin young thanks to the fatty acids it contains.

• Coconut oil  in combination with sugar gives the skin a lot of moisture. Therefore, the peeling is ideal for your skin after a long and sun-intensive summer.
• The sugar cleanses the skin of blackheads and other impurities, while the coconut oil cares for the skin.
• After applying the cream, simply leave it on for 5 minutes.

5. Full body citrus peels

Natural body scrubs with lemon are probably the best-known way of regenerating the skin. However, there are numerous similar fruits that you can use in place of lemons to clear clogged pores and dead skin.

Alternatives are, for example, oranges, limes, grapefruit or a combination of the citrus fruits mentioned.

ingredients

• 1 tablespoon citrus peel (15 g)
• 1 ½ tablespoon of sugar (22 g)
• 1 ½ tablespoon olive or almond oil (24 g)

preparation

The above ingredients and units of measure are basic to exfoliating. The ratio is one tablespoon of citrus peel to one and a half tablespoons of sugar and olive or almond oil.

If you want to prepare the peeling for the whole body, you should adjust the units of measurement accordingly.

6. Poppy seeds and vegetable oil

Poppy seeds nourish the skin with trace elements and fatty acids. 

• They deeply cleanse the skin and remove dead skin cells.
