Fans of "soap stuff" and natural cosmetics will find this unusual scrub soap, which you can make with your own hands, very useful. You will be sure of it useful properties, since you yourself will be able to control the entire cooking process and the selection of ingredients.

The natural exfoliating ingredients in homemade soaps will gently remove dead skin cells from your skin. The scrub soap will cleanse the face and body from dirt, make the dermis soft, smooth and refreshed.

Many people give up the idea of ​​making soap at home, thinking that the process is very complicated and will take a lot of time and effort. In fact, everything is very simple and accessible.

Soap making is a very exciting and useful activity, with the help of which you can provide yourself and your loved ones with natural cosmetics for the bath for a long time.

Moreover, each portion of soap can be brewed from new combinations of ingredients, adjusting to one or another skin type and creating a unique mood.

A transparent base for soap is usually ordered in a special store or made independently from a certain ratio of oils, water, alkali and glycerin.

Cheaper and economical option of course counts home base from scratch, but this recipe requires the most accurate calculation of the amount of ingredients, a strict order of their addition and compliance with the cooking time and temperature regime, due to which it is not suitable for inexperienced soap makers.

Instead of the usual base, you can use solid baby soap without harsh fragrances. It is cut or grated, then melted in a water bath and mixed with filler and essential oils.

Natural scrubs for homemade soap


The scrubbing particles in the soap stimulate the process of cell renewal, rejuvenate and restore a healthy look even to the most problematic skin, and the blood flow from the massage effect prevents early signs of cellulite.

In fact, a large number of improvised products that every housewife has in the kitchen are used as scrubbing particles for cosmetic soap. Even homemade grains such as semolina and millet can be excellent scrubs.

But, of course, the best "kitchen" scrub is deservedly considered oatmeal or cereals... This product not only has a chic exfoliating and moisturizing effect, but also contains a large amount of vitamins and natural trace elements.

The following are used as scrubbing agents:

  • small cereals: semolina, pearl barley, cornflakes, oatmeal, etc.;
  • dried herbs and flowers;
  • ground coffee, tea;
  • seeds, nuts and cereals: poppy seeds, sesame seeds, almond shavings, etc.;
  • berries with small seeds: raspberries, currants, gooseberries, etc.;
  • citrus peel;
  • coconut flakes;
  • spices: salt or sugar, ground pepper, etc.

Benefit from all the ingredients at hand.


To prepare natural cosmetic soap, you will need:

  • Transparent soap base or a bar of baby soap (preferably white, odorless). You can take it.
  • Base oil: vegetable, olive, peach, grape seed, coconut, etc. It can be replaced with glycerin.
  • Essential oils: ylang-ylang, bergamot, mint, patchouli, etc.
  • Filler: ground coffee or coffee grounds, oat or corn flakes, coconut flakes, poppy seeds or granulated sugar, citrus peel, crushed dry herbs and flowers (rose petals, jasmine, chamomile, etc.)
  • If desired, you can use natural additives: liquid honey, cocoa powder, chocolate, milk, fat sour cream or cream, clay, etc.
  • The dye is preferably natural or food-grade, or you can do without it altogether. Some natural additives are also colorants (such as cocoa and clay).

Grate baby soap or soap base on a fine grater and melt in a water bath. Make sure all lumps are dissolved and remove from heat.

First of all, it is better to put in natural scrubbing additives and mix the mass well. In this case, large solid additives, for example, the peel of citrus fruits, must be crushed, and dry powdered ones must be diluted with water to a state of gruel for better mixing. If lumps still appear in the mass, you should repeat water bath.

Then add the base oil and essential oil as desired dye.

Pour the prepared mass into molds. Their shape should be convenient so that in the future there will be no difficulties in removing the hardened soap.

Now it remains to transfer the forms to a cool dry place for several hours or days, depending on the consistency, and wait until the soap has completely solidified.

Scrub soap with black coffee

Melt about 200 grams of soap base or a piece of baby soap in a water bath, add 2 tablespoons of ground instant coffee or dried coffee grounds.3 tablespoons olive oil, put 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder.

Since coffee itself has a bright invigorating aroma, there is no need to add essential oils to the mixture, but an oil extract of vitamins can be added if desired.

Oatmeal Scrub Soap

Alternately mix 200 grams of soap base, melted in a water bath, 2 heaping tablespoons of chopped oatmeal, 2 tablespoons almond oil, 1 teaspoon of liquid honey, 1 tablespoon of dried chamomile flowers.

Flakes are always added last as oatmeal swells quickly when warm. The mixture is quickly stirred, laid out in molds and set to cool for a couple of hours.

Scrub soap with sea salt

Stir in 200 grams of melted soap base, add 3 tablespoons of coarse salt, 2 tablespoons of jojoba oil, and 25 drops of rosewood essential oil.

Oatmeal, miss!

I paraphrased a well-known literary saying a little, since today's review will be about oatmeal and care for girls with a wonderful scrub soap Oatmeal from Levrana.

Oats have long been considered the product that has the most beneficial effect on a person's appearance - the condition of hair, skin and well-being.

What is oatmeal good for?

Oatmeal contains a whole range of substances beneficial to the skin:

cellulose;

complex carbohydrates;

minerals (potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, fluorine, chromium, etc.);

vitamins (B1, B6, B2, A, E, K);

amino acids

Therefore, it is not surprising that Levrana Oatmeal Body Soap Scrub can only cause positive results.

What can Levrana Oatmeal Scrub Soap?


Cleanse the skin.

Our skin is made up of several layers. One is a thicker inner layer called the dermis, and the other is very thin, called the epidermis. There are no blood vessels in the epidermis, so it actually consists of dead cells. And it is the dermis - the lower layer of the skin that performs important functions: nourishes, and also divides and generates new cells of the epidermis. In simpler terms, new cells displace old ones, and old ones, having lost their food source, die. Therefore, the skin of the body must not only be nourished, but also cleaned in a timely manner, otherwise it may look aesthetically not very beautiful and flaky due to old dead skin cells.

Removal of skin inflammation

Due to the substances included in the soap scrub

Moisturize and soften, leaving the skin silky smooth

Due to the substances included in the scrub soap, a mild scrubbing effect

Accelerate the skin regeneration process

Due to the gentle scrubbing effect and removal of old skin cells.

In order for the scrubbing procedure with oatmeal soap to bring the maximum positive result, here are a few of my rules that I adhere to

1.In order not to thin the dermis, I use the Oatmeal body scrub soap once a week.

2. Before using the scrub soap, I thoroughly steam the skin by lying in a warm bath for about 10 minutes or by visiting a bathhouse and hamam.

3. I apply the scrub soap on the body smoothly, with movements from bottom to top along the lymph flow: from the legs to the buttocks, from the abdomen to the chest and shoulders ..

4. I wash off the scrub soap with warm water.

5. After scrubbing, be sure to moisturize the skin with cream, milk or oil.

I will warn you right away that there are some contraindications for which it is better not to use a body scrub.


While body cleansing treatments are very beneficial, there are some limitations to using scrubs at home:

inflammatory processes in the acute stage;

scrub can be harmful for rosacea and vascular disease;

the recovery period after the treatment of dermatological diseases;

In theory, we figured it out and now let's go directly to my favorite scrub soap Oatmeal from Levrana, in which I found seven positive qualities and only one small minus.

Perhaps I'll start with the packaging:


The aesthetic look of the packaging from levrana always fascinates me, as for the Oatmeal scrub soap, it is packed in a beautiful paper packaging with a sticker on the front and back sides. On these stickers you can read a lot of information about scrub soap.

(composition, properties, application, shelf life, etc.)

So the first plus is packaging. Why? Because a beautifully packaged scrub soap Oatmeal can be a great gift.

And adding here a small price of about 150 rubles. This is the second plus.

The economical consumption of soap scrub is also pleasing. The soap does not sour and is very economical to use. Soap weighing 100 grams was enough for me 10 times. Or rather, for two and a half months once a week. Therefore, economical consumption is the third plus.

The effect of the soap is simply amazing; the soap scrubs very delicately, which is very good for my sensitive skin.


Small inclusions of oatmeal, as it were, polish the skin, making it soft and smooth.


If we compare it with the Levrana Coffee scrub soap, then small particles of oatmeal suited my skin better, but for those who love very hard scrubs, the Coffee soap scrub is yours, but I had to use it on my feet, since it is very hard for me.


The effect of the oatmeal scrub soap is the fourth plus.

Another thing I love about this scrub soap is that when you hold the bar of soap, only the body is scrubbed, not the palm on the hand. After soft scrubs, my palms were red and my skin ached, with the oatmeal scrub soap there is no such thing. And this will be the fifth plus.

The aroma of this scrub soap is pleasant, almost invisible, neutral.


The slice smells like oatmeal. For me, this is the sixth plus, since I like it when the product smells not strong and pleasant.

Levrana adheres to the following strict rules in the production of cosmetics:
- do not use petrochemical products (SLS, SLES), Parabens;
- do not test cosmetics on animals;


Use exclusively natural ingredients donated by nature itself.

Therefore, the seventh plus of this scrub soap is its composition. He's rich, wholesome, and effective:

Sodium salts of coconut, palm, palm kernel, olive, castor, linseed, shea (shea) oils.

Properties: soap base, lathers and cleanses the skin. The oils from which the base is made nourish, moisturize and protect the skin from dryness.

Artesian water

Linseed oil.

Properties: anti-aging, bactericidal, emollient, a source of valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids Omega-3 and Omega-6.

Shea (shea) butter.

Properties: the emollient ability of the oil is effective against excessively dry and coarse skin areas of the body, the ability to influence the synthesis of collagen and elastin, as well as the regenerating and rejuvenating properties of the oil fight against visible signs of aging and aging of the skin, increase firmness and elasticity, improve skin turgor.

Ground oatmeal.

Properties: as a scrubbing agent, tones and refreshes the skin

Extracts:

Oats. Properties: used as a component that has a nourishing, tonic, moisturizing effect.

Dandelion. Properties: used as a whitening and toning agent.

Linden color. Properties: used as a component that has a calming, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial effect. Increases elasticity, strengthens skin tissues, makes the skin more receptive to active substances

Seed cucumber. Properties: used as an anti-inflammatory, whitening, moisturizing component.

Coltsfoot. Properties: used as a component that has a softening, anti-inflammatory, drying effect

McLay. Properties: used as a natural preservative with antimicrobial and antiviral effects.

About the pros, I told them quite a few, but there is one minus, which I will now tell you about. But if you do not do, as I accidentally did during the first application, then you will not feel the minus.

When it gets on the intimate areas, the scrub stings the soap so that oh-oh-oh.

Therefore, we scrub ourselves so that nothing gets there))

Conclusions:

If you want an economical and natural scrub that costs 150 rubles. Which also lathers with a gentle soapy foam. Effectively cares for the skin. Has no harsh aroma. Take a look at Levrana's Oatmeal Scrub Soap.

The process of making soap at home seems complicated only at first glance; in fact, it is a very interesting and exciting activity. So that the "first pancake" is not lumpy and does not discourage the desire to engage in soap making in the future, it is better to choose a proven one complex recipe soap. For beginner soap makers, I recommend preparing a gentle baby soap with cream and a scrub soap with oatmeal.

To prepare the soap base, we need odorless baby soap (or soap base). Agu soap, unlike others, has practically no smell, it is easy to rub and melt.

To begin with, we rub the soap on a fine grater, put it in a water bath. Add 1 tablespoon of honey to the warmed milk, dissolve it and pour it into soap shavings. The ratio of soap to liquid should be 1: 1 or 1: 1.5. It is better to pour a little less at first, and add the rest of the milk as needed. Stirring constantly, wait for the soap to completely dissolve; you do not need to bring it to a boil. When the mass becomes homogeneous, like sour cream, turn off the gas, let it cool for a few minutes and add the base and essential oils. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of base oil (olive, grape seed, castor oil), essential oil - a few drops. If you pour over the base oil, the finished soap will not foam well, so I like to use castor oil better, even if it can be added a little more, it does not reduce foaming.

Finally, add 3 tablespoons of oatmeal. To prevent the flakes from steaming quickly, the soap mixture should cool slightly. Stir everything thoroughly, put it in a mold, previously laid out with cling film.

While the scrub hardens, prepare a moisturizing soap.

Prepare a decoration from Palmoliv glycerin soap in advance - cut small cubes with a knife. Cut off long shavings with a vegetable knife, roll several pieces of different colors together - we get multi-colored rolls.

Preparing a soap mixture:rubbing baby soap, put on a water bath, add milk. You can add a little sugar to make the soap melt better. Turn off the gas, pour in a few tablespoons of base oil and a few drops of any essential oil. Even ordinary sunflower oil can be used as a base oil, only odorless. Last but not least, add any nourishing or moisturizing cream, 3-4 tablespoons. Mix everything thoroughly, divide into 2 parts. Pour the chopped into one part of the soap base multicolored soap and put it on top of the oatmeal scrub in a mold, first sprinkle it a little with alcohol (for better adhesion of the layers).

We leave it to harden, after a day we take out the finished soap from the molds, cut off the edges with a sharp knife, cut into portioned pieces.

The resulting beauty should dry in the air for a few more days, after which we wrap each piece in cling film, and remove for 2-3 weeks; as soon as the soap hardens,it can be used.

This recipe for oatmeal soap is a godsend for me personally. Before that, I visited to do as advised on the Internet, to grind cereals, dilute with water and wash, but oat crumbs, which constantly fell into the hair and then removed with great difficulty, discouraged all the desire to do this procedure regularly. They will not be in this recipe.

Washing with this oatmeal soap really improves the condition of the skin of the face, but not immediately, the result will be noticeable in 2 weeks, and the face will literally transform in a month. The skin will become velvety, the relief and tone will be leveled, the face will glow with well-groomed and health. The blackheads will become less and less visible, the pores will become less visible.

The advantage of this recipe is that it suits absolutely everyone, any skin type, even small children can be washed with this soap. It is better to cook it in advance, as it will take 2-3 days to cook.

The secret of oatmeal is simple - it contains gluten, which, when interacting with the skin, literally draws out all the dirt on itself.

So, the soap recipe step by step with photos of the whole process:

1. We take a liter or one and a half liter glass jar, and fill it with half of the flakes. We do not take flakes of quick cooking, namely those that are cooked for a long time

2. Fill with completely warm boiled water, but not hot. Warm water it will just extract the gluten that we need, if you pour it hot, you get porridge, not soap. Stir with a spoon, cover with a napkin and leave as it is when room temperature or in the refrigerator until the next day

3. The next day we stir this whole thing again and filter through double gauze, squeeze thoroughly and for a long time to get as much gluten as possible, throw away the cake. Wash the jar and pour into it what we got and leave it like that until the next day

4. The next day we will see such a picture - the gluten we need will settle to the bottom, and then we need it. The water that has formed from above must be pumped out carefully with a syringe or syringe

5. Pour the resulting soap into an empty jar and use. If you wish, you can add essential oils, this will enhance the effect, just not those that are sold in pharmacies, you need exactly 100% natural essential oil, how to choose it, read in .

It is better to store such soap in the refrigerator.

OPTIONS FOR USING OAT FLAKE SOAP
  1. For daily washing, apply a small amount of soap to the face and massage with soft circular movements along the massage lines for several minutes, 3 minutes is enough.
  2. Alternatively, the soap can be applied as a cleansing mask until dry, then massage in and rinse off with water.
  3. If desired, you can add honey, milk, , kefir, essential oils - whoever likes what, this is already a full-fledged nourishing mask.
WARNINGS

After you start practicing such washing daily, in the morning and in the evening, do not be surprised if at first the amount of inflammation increases, this is the effect of cleansing the face, after a few days the rashes will subside, and soon disappear altogether, the main thing is not to stop.

Do not expect this soap to cope with the wash off of the makeup, there are special products for this, or vegetable oils(for natural lovers).

Hello everyone! Today I will show you in detail how to make an excellent moisturizer. milk soap do it yourself. Compared to the usual one, it has a number of advantages: firstly, all the ingredients are completely natural, which, unfortunately, is rare, secondly, it lathers well, and thirdly, it not only cleanses the skin, but also cares for it.

Thanks to natural additives, the product does not dry out or tighten the skin. They can not only wash the body, but also the face, which I do. Everything we need is sold in stores. I did a little research, if you can call it that, and I found out that soap self made free of SLS, parabens, synthetic colors, fragrances, etc. costs an average of about 120 rubles per 100 grams. Ours will cost us a maximum of 30 rubles. It will work great for normal as well. Let's start?

Moisturizing Oatmeal Milk Soap

For cooking we need:

1. A piece of natural soap (100 grams), preferably without dyes and fragrances. I bought at an ordinary hardware store for 7 rubles. Be sure to pay attention to the composition, it must be completely natural. You can take the baby. Mine was SVETLOYAR. Here is the composition:

2. Milk - 150 grams. Milk has moisturizing and emollient properties. Saturates the skin with beneficial nutrients, including proteins and fats. Improves complexion, prevents dryness and flaking, soothes the skin and improves cell regeneration.

3. Oatmeal (2-3 tablespoons). Oatmeal in the soap has a mild exfoliating effect, delicately cleanses the skin of dead cells and moisturizes the skin.

4. Coconut oil (1 tablespoon) - has moisturizing, protecting and nutritional properties... Excellent moisture retention. Contains antioxidants, thereby fights against age-related skin changes, smoothes fine wrinkles, evens out the complexion. I took the unrefined one, it will give the soap a wonderful coconut scent.

5. Iron or heat-resistant dishes - we need it in order to melt the base in it in a water bath.

6. A saucepan with water.

7. Spoon for mixing ingredients.

8. Molds for filling. If you do not have special forms, yogurt jars, plastic sandbox molds, etc. are well suited for these purposes. To make ready-made soap easy to reach, choose forms that are soft and flexible. Glass jars will not work.

Diy oatmeal moisturizing milk soap

1. We prepare all the ingredients. Pre-rub the base on a fine grater. The smaller the pieces, the faster it will melt.

2. Pour water into a saucepan, put the soap into a water bath. In no case should the mass boil. Add milk, so it will take the desired consistency faster.

3. Do not forget to stir constantly.

4. When the mixture has become creamy, you can add oatmeal and coconut oil. Mix well, wait until the butter melts.

5. Once the mixture is ready, pour it into the molds. From the ingredients listed above, I got 2 pieces of about 100 grams. It is advisable to grease the forms, just a little, sunflower oil... This is necessary in order to easily pull the soap out of it.

6. We are waiting for it to completely harden. It depends on the temperature and humidity in the room.

Very important! Due to the fact that it is preservative-free, oatmeal soap should be kept in the refrigerator. Wrap it in plastic wrap and use within 2 weeks. It smells awesome, coconut. His desire is simply to eat. Aloe vera gel or essential oils can be added to refine the recipe, if desired. The remedy will acquire additional healing and healing properties.
