SCRUBS- for health and glowing skin!
Scrubs: The Underrated Secret to Radiant Skin and Holistic Well-Being
Do you dream of soft, glowing skin—or wish to ease a health concern naturally? Believe it or not, one powerful yet often overlooked solution is scrubs. These simple, effective treatments are more than just skincare—they’re self-care. Yet many of us don’t give them the attention they deserve.
Facial and body scrubs are incredibly easy (and fun!) to make at home. They awaken the senses, boost circulation, gently exfoliate, and help skin absorb nutrients more effectively. What’s even better? You can craft them with pure, nourishing ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen.
In this article, I share insights from my course in Practical Herbal Medicine and Herbs—a beautiful journey into the healing power of plants that inspired my latest creation.
My Motto: If You Can Eat It, You Can Use It
When it comes to skincare, I believe in using ingredients that are safe enough to eat. That’s why my new scrub is made entirely with organic, natural components, many of which were hand-harvested during summer.
This unique scrub, suitable for both face and body, blends:
- Ground cocoa bean peels – rich in antioxidants and gentle exfoliation
- Amber powder – known for its revitalizing and anti-inflammatory properties
- Nourishing oils – to deeply moisturize and soften the skin
- A touch of shea butter – for added creaminess and skin-soothing benefits
- Wildcrafted herbs – rose, sage, chamomile, and yarrow, selected for their calming and healing effects.
Nature’s Touch, Handcrafted for You!
This is not your average store-bought scrub. It's a one-of-a-kind blend born from herbal wisdom, seasonal intuition, and love for the skin you're in.

Exfoliation can help with excess weight, swellings, chronic fatigue, decreased immune system, constant dizziness, chronic secretions (runny nose, sputum). In addition, peeling stimulates blood and lymph circulation, cleanses the skin, promotes metabolism.
How and what to use to make organic scrub?
You need 150 ml of granular or exfoliating agent and 30 ml of a binding component. For the body, rougher grained works, on the other hand, for the face fine-grained and softer is needed as not to damage your delicate skin.
NB! When using e.g. oats you need more fluid as grain absorb more liquid.
Granular: e.g coffee, sugar, sea salt, fine sand, nuts, oats etc.
Binding: e.g yoghurt, honey, aloe vera gel, banana, avocado, organic oils, organic butter (e.g shea) or whatever you happen to have at home and which suits your skin.
Good to add also herbs and essential oils.
Making a facial scrub make sure that particles are fine and smooth if needed ground all ingredients several times.

How to Use Your Scrub for Best Results
For optimal results, always warm and moisten your skin before exfoliating. The best time to use a scrub is at the end of a shower or sauna session, when your pores are open and your skin is soft. This helps the natural ingredients penetrate more deeply and makes exfoliation more effective yet gentle.
Gently massage the scrub onto your skin in circular motions, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Follow up with a nourishing organic cream or salve to lock in moisture and support skin regeneration.
Treat your skin with kindness—it will thank you with a healthy, radiant glow.
If you're using scrubs to support a health-related concern, such as stimulating circulation or boosting metabolism, limit use to a maximum of twice a week. This can help activate the body’s natural detox processes without overwhelming the skin.
Once the condition has improved or stabilized, take a break to allow your body to rest and rebalance. As a general rule, exfoliating once a month is a great habit for maintaining healthy skin—especially when using potent, natural ingredients.
Most importantly, tune into your body’s signals. Every skin type is unique, so observe how yours responds and adjust your routine accordingly.
Advice: whatever external procedure you use, remember all starts from within. Your lifestyle and eating habits form the foundation of your well-being—nurture them with intention.
