Winter weather can leave skin dry, flaky, and uncomfortable. A homemade body scrub gently exfoliates dead skin cells while deeply hydrating the skin, restoring softness and natural glow. Here’s an easy, effective winter body scrub you can make at home using simple ingredients.
WHY YOUR SKIN NEEDS A WINTER BODY SCRUB
Cold temperatures and low humidity strip the skin of moisture, leading to rough texture and dullness. A hydrating scrub removes dead skin buildup and helps moisturisers absorb better, keeping skin smooth and nourished.
INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED
1 cup sugar or coffee grounds
cup coconut oil or olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon glycerin (optional)
A few drops of essential oil (lavender or vanilla)
STEP-BY-STEP METHOD
Mix the sugar or coffee grounds with the coconut oil in a bowl. Add honey and glycerin, then stir until you get a thick, grainy paste. Add essential oil and mix well. Store in an airtight jar.
HOW TO USE THE BODY SCRUB
Use the scrub on damp skin during a shower. Massage gently in circular motions, focusing on dry areas like elbows, knees and heels. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
This scrub exfoliates gently, boosts circulation, and locks in moisture. Honey and oils nourish deeply, making it ideal for dry winter skin.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU USE IT
Use this body scrub 1–2 times a week to avoid over-exfoliation and maintain soft, hydrated skin throughout winter.
Always follow up with a rich body lotion or body butter after exfoliating for long-lasting hydration.
