Salt absorbs excess fat, and sugar acts as solid particles that gently crush the skin. As a liquid base and so that the product takes a pasty appearance, you need to add some thick dairy product.

The opposite situation also happens when the skin requires additional hydration and cleansing. Then add 3 teaspoons to sugar. oatmeal – they enhance the effect of sugar as abrasive particles, and to moisturize it is worth adding some essential oil. It is better to choose rosemary, as it has a calming and moisturizing effect, while rarely causing an allergic reaction.

For skin prone to inflammation of the skin, you can add chamomile or shawls. All fillers must be the same grinding with rice. Heterogeneity can lead to sad results.
