The scrub is an amazing product. It not only removes dead skin particles, making it soft and silky, but when used correctly, it gives the body a seductive shape, helping to lose weight. On store shelves today there is a large selection of such cosmetics, however, the cost of some of them is not affordable for everyone. But is it worth overpaying if you can prepare a high-quality and, most importantly, effective cleansing cream yourself? Of course not! From this text you will learn how to create a scrub at home and how to use it so that your dreams of a beautiful figure become a reality.
To make a miracle product, it only takes a couple of minutes and a few ingredients that are in any kitchen cabinet.
Terms of use
Scrubs stimulate blood circulation, thereby reducing subcutaneous fat. With regular use, the color and condition of the skin improves, cellulite goes away, and the waist becomes thinner. True, only a couple of procedures are enough for some to notice the result, while others require more sessions. It all depends on the individual characteristics and the severity of the problem. However, there are several recommendations that help achieve maximum results in the shortest possible time:
- Use the product after an evening shower. The fact is that the substances included in the scrub are absorbed into the steamed skin much faster, and, therefore, give a greater effect. Apply the cream in circular motions for at least 5 minutes, paying special attention to problem areas.
- After the procedure, rinse off the paste with warm water and be sure to moisturize the skin. Give preference to creams and lotions containing vitamins A, B3 and E, which promote collagen production and improve metabolism.
- Do not forget that body compositions are not suitable for the face, since they contain coarse abrasive elements.
- And most importantly, scrubs are effective for weight loss only if you combine them with proper nutrition and regular exercise. Visiting the sauna will also help achieve better results.
You should not conduct more than 2 cleansing sessions per week!
Basic rules for making it yourself at home
It is not difficult to prepare a homemade scrub, because many of its components are found in almost every home. You just need to know which products are suitable for the scrub composition and have a recipe for its preparation.
Among the basic rules for preparing mixtures at home are:
- mandatory use of high-quality, non-expired components;
- compliance with prescription proportions;
- making scrubs immediately before use.
For body
The main purpose of scrubs is to remove dead cells, dust, dirt, sebum produced by the glands and toxins from the surface of the skin, making it smooth and giving tone. Some women prefer to carry out cleansing procedures in the salon, but if you choose the right list of ingredients, you can achieve results at home that are in no way inferior to those in the salon. The basis of a homemade scrub can be shower gel/sour cream/cream, etc. The abrasive component can be coffee, sugar, salt, cereals, etc. If you want to give the scrubbing mass a pleasant aroma, then it is not forbidden to add citrus fruits to it or fruit essential oils, herbs.
From coffee
Without exaggeration, everyone has heard about the properties of coffee scrub for weight loss, because the benefits of caffeine are simply impressive:
- Improves blood circulation in the skin and subcutaneous layer. As a result, the process of fat breakdown is accelerated.
- Removes excess fluid from skin cells. Thus, the skin becomes smooth and elastic, unnecessary sentimentality on the waist and hips disappears.
- It has a beneficial effect on blood vessels - it makes them more elastic, strengthens their walls, and also prevents varicose veins.
Coffee remedy improves blood circulation and eliminates congestion in tissues. If you carry out aromatic treatments a couple of times a week, then after a few months you can forget about extra centimeters on your waist, cellulite on your hips and even spider veins on your legs. The composition will give the skin not only silkiness and youth, but also an attractive golden hue, to preserve which it is not recommended to use soap to remove the scrub.
To prepare a coffee scrub for weight loss, only natural coffee that has not expired is suitable. If you want to get a rejuvenating effect on top of everything else, then you should choose green coffee. You can also use coffee grounds, but keep in mind that they must come from a drink brewed without sugar, milk or other additives. This component can be stored for no longer than 5 days in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dark place with minimal humidity.
If you are allergic to coffee, the use of this mixture is contraindicated!

Another simple recipe. Combine crushed coffee beans in a ratio of 1:2 with shower gel or liquid soap. Ready!
From salt
Sea salt is considered one of the most effective homemade cleansing body scrubs. It effectively cleanses, the essential and/or vegetable oils included in the composition soften and protect against irritation, and all kinds of fat-burning additives activate metabolic processes and help you lose weight.
Classical
The easiest scrub to make consists of sea salt and sour cream taken in equal proportions. To add a delicious aroma, you can add a couple of drops of vanilla to it if desired.
With spices
Mix 2 tablespoons of sea salt with half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and the same amount of black pepper. Add a little olive oil to make a thick paste.

As you can already understand from the suggested recipes, honey is quite often found in homemade scrubs. This product is useful not only for oral use, but also in cosmetology, as it tightens the skin, cleanses it, makes it soft and velvety.

Ginger is a great helper in the fight against excess weight. It is not at all surprising that it is also added to fat-burning creams. It contains essential oil that improves blood circulation, so when in contact with the skin, decay products are more effectively removed, and the skin becomes smoother and more elastic. In addition, ginger:
- has an anti-cellulite effect;

It is recommended to apply with massage movements for 20 minutes, after which it should be washed off with warm water.
Chocolate
Chocoholics will love the chocolate-based cream. Similar sessions are offered in beauty salons, but the cost of the service is quite high. In terms of effectiveness, home procedures are in no way inferior, and everyone can afford them. This delicacy will help put your body in order before the summer season. It exfoliates dead skin cells, nourishes and moisturizes it, and also gets rid of cellulite and other imperfections. In addition, cocoa removes swelling and prevents the aging process.
Chocolate scrub is contraindicated for people with hypertension, arrhythmia and heart disease, gynecological (endometrial hyperplasia, uterine fibroids and endometritis) and dermatological (eczema, seborrhea, psoriasis) diseases, allergies to cocoa beans.
With cocoa powder
Mix 35 grams of cocoa and 100 grams of sugar (it is better to use brown or cane sugar). Pour in as much olive oil as necessary to obtain a paste. The scrub should be applied with massage movements in a thick layer for several minutes, and after 5-7 minutes it should be washed off using hot water.

Vegetables and fruits
You can prepare scrubs at home not only according to the recipes suggested above, but also using fruits and vegetables. Below we will present several proven methods.
With orange zest and almonds
Mix a tablespoon of chopped orange zest with 2 tablespoons of chopped almonds. Add a teaspoon of oily olive squeeze. Start scrubbing, just don’t forget to thoroughly steam the surface of the body first.
Cucumber
Grate 3 cucumbers. Add 4 tablespoons of ground coffee beans and the same amount of potato starch. Stir. Apply the mixture using massaging movements, then rinse off under a warm shower.
Carrot
Mix finely grated carrots and semolina in equal proportions. The mixture can be used daily for half a month, after which the frequency of procedures should be reduced to 2-3 times a week.
Apple
Cut a large green apple in half. Use one half as a body massager, then take the other half and continue the procedure. The effectiveness of the method is due to malic acid, which literally breaks down dead skin particles, cleanses pores, and promotes the removal of toxins.
With flour
Those with dry and sensitive skin should be especially careful when using homemade scrubs, as abrasive particles that are too harsh can damage the skin. In this case, a product based on flour and starch will be suitable.
Prepare flour and starch in equal proportions. Transfer to a piece of gauze and form into a ball. Spray with water from a spray bottle and lightly moisten with vegetable oil. Get to the point!
Recommendations for use
You don’t need to treat weight loss scrubs the same way as regular scrubs. They contain more active and aggressive substances, penetrate deeper, and their action is more extensive: not just cleaning and exfoliation, but launching cellular biochemical processes. Therefore, follow the recommendations for their use.
Do not use on the face. Apply exclusively to steamed skin, when the top layers are softened and the pores are maximally open. The optimal time for the procedure is in the late afternoon, after a shower or hot bath. It is often recommended to use it in a bath.
Apply with massage movements - circular, in the direction of lymph flow:
- from the feet to the buttocks - from bottom to top,
- treatment of the abdomen - strictly clockwise,
- from fingers to shoulder - from bottom to top,
- from the neck to the lower back - from top to bottom,
- from the armpits to the center of the chest.
The roll is applied using rubbing or patting movements.
Rubbing time is no less than 3 and no more than 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water in the shower. Cream formulations do not require rinsing. After this, rub the body until light pink with a towel. The final stage is applying the slimming cream.
Frequency of use if you have no more than 3-6 extra kg:
- for dry and sensitive skin - once a week,
- for normal - 2,
- for fatty – 3.
If any discomfort occurs (itching, hyperemia, rash, burning), you need to change the recipe.
A scrub is just an additional means for losing weight; it cannot cope with extra pounds alone. Therefore, it must be used in combination with proper nutrition, physical activity and procedures. The best products have proven themselves to be those containing: sea salt, coffee, sugar, hot pepper, oatmeal, candied honey, citrus fruits, baking soda, ethers.
Shelf life in the refrigerator is no more than 2 weeks.
Tips for those with different skin types:
- for dry - it is better to choose recipes with dairy products,
- for mature women - with oils (olive, jojoba, apricot, grape seed),
- for oily skin - with cosmetic clay, sea salt, baking soda, activated carbon,
- for sensitive ones - you need to test each composition on your wrist, do not massage the skin for more than 5 minutes.
Scrubbing is a fairly intense effect on the skin. Its improper use can lead to redness, irritation and even damage to the integrity of the skin. This is why you should not use homemade stone scrubs - crushed stones have sharp corners that scratch the skin and can cause inflammation.
For a weight loss scrub to give excellent results, follow simple rules for its use:
- You can scrub only damp skin that has been previously cleaned of cosmetics,
- The scrub should be applied in a thin layer, evenly distributed over the skin,
- scrubbing is performed with light circular movements, without strong pressure,
- When the skin becomes intensely pink, it’s time to complete the procedure - you shouldn’t scrub the body until it becomes very red.
After you wash off the scrub from your skin, you need to gently pat it dry with a towel (do not rub!) and apply a soothing or moisturizing cream.
Important! It is not recommended to use anti-cellulite warming cream immediately after a scrub - this can lead to severe skin irritation.

Recipe No. 2 - soft
Recipe No. 3 - delicious
Recipe No. 4 - sweet
Recipe No. 7 - hot
Recipe No. 1 - hot
Recipe No. 4 – poppy seed

At the end of the procedure, you can leave the mixture on the body as a body mask. Upon completion of the scrubbing massage, the remaining composition must be washed off with water. After you leave the shower, be sure to apply a moisturizing lotion or cream to your body. Do not neglect this rule, even if the scrub was based on oil. Leftover scrub can be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly closed container.
For the belly
Every representative of the fair half of humanity knows how difficult it is to lose weight in the abdominal area. This is explained by the fact that fat accumulates in the lower abdomen, which can be called a “strategic reserve” in case of famine. At the same time, the more a woman practices dieting, the more inviolable this layer becomes.
You may have noticed that even during intense physical activity, your tummy remains cool because the blood supply to the subcutaneous fat does not increase. Why? Because the body takes fat from where it is easier, i.e. from where blood circulation is better. What to do? Forcefully improve blood circulation where we want to lose weight, and cleansing scrubs for weight loss with warming ingredients will help us with this. We said above that these are considered to be those cooked with the addition of hot pepper and ginger. You can use one of the following recipes, or use the method suggested below.
With salt and poppy seeds
Mix 2 tablespoons of sea salt (if you don’t have it, regular table salt will do) and 1/2 cup of poppy seeds with 5 tablespoons of olive oil and 5 drops of orange oil. Stir. Apply in a circular motion, and after half an hour, rinse with warm water.
To improve the effect, you can wrap your stomach with cling film!
With salt/sugar and spices
Combine 60 grams of sea salt (if there are wounds or scratches on the body, it is better to replace it with sugar) and the same amount of olive oil. Add 5 grams of ground cinnamon and hot pepper. Heat the mixture in a water bath or in a microwave oven. Apply warmly to the stomach, since the effectiveness is due to the temperature effect.
I present to your attention the Top 3 most effective:
- Classic lunges. By doing them. Do not forget to monitor your posture and perform so that the angle between the knee and thigh is 90%;
- Combined exercise: squats + side swings. It is important not to forget in squats that the knees should not go beyond the toes - we move the pelvis back;
- Exercise “Scissors”, which is performed from a lying position and straight legs are first spread to the sides and then crossed. It is important here that the lower back is pressed tightly to the floor and the legs are straight. You need to exercise daily! It could be 20 minutes of jumping rope, but consistency is key.
For legs
Legs are perhaps the sexiest part of a woman's body. Slender legs can drive any man crazy, so every girl tries to preserve their beauty.
For hips
Cellulite has ruined more than one pair of women's legs. To get rid of it, women are ready to go to great lengths - exhaust themselves with physical activity in the gym, give up sweets and starchy foods. However, if you add scrubbing to all this, a positive result will not be long in coming. Here are just a few of the most effective anti-cellulite scrub options.
With honey and chocolate
Grate 100 grams of frozen dark chocolate (or grind in a blender). Add 40 grams of sea salt. Next, send 30 grams of honey. At the very end, add a couple of drops of almond oil. Mix the mixture well and apply it to problem areas, massage well and leave for 5 minutes.
With salt and sand
Those who struggle with cellulite will forget about the problem forever if they regularly use a scrub, to prepare which you need to mix sea salt and sand in equal proportions, add a tablespoon of olive oil to them. The resulting paste must be heated in a microwave oven and warm (!) applied to problem areas.
With salt and coffee
There is another weight loss scrub that eliminates cellulite and is a great help in the fight against excess weight. Add a little sour cream to the coffee-salt mixture (proportions 1:1). Apply the composition for a quarter of an hour, and then rinse with warm water.
With sugar
To create a mixture that will help get rid of cellulite and make stretch marks less noticeable, mix a glass of sugar and sea salt, add 120 ml of oily olive squeeze and mix thoroughly. Use the same as those we have already introduced you to.
For the knees
If a girl does not play sports, then over time fat begins to accumulate in the knee area. Do you want people to envy the beauty of your legs? Then physical activity (a set of exercises will not be difficult to find on the Internet) and scrubbing will come to your aid.
With salt and sour cream/yogurt
Combine 2 tablespoons of medium-ground sea salt with a tablespoon of sour cream or the same amount of natural thick yogurt. Apply to your knees, massage for 5-7 minutes and remove.
Citric
Grind half a lemon in a blender without removing the skin. Pour 85 grams of sugar into the resulting slurry. Use as directed. If after the procedure you have a little composition left, then you should not throw it away - it can be stored well in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
With aspirin
Grind 25 acetylsalicylic acid tablets in a blender or coffee grinder. Combine a small amount of powder with shower gel to make a paste. Proceed with the procedure. Pour the remaining powder into a dry, clean container and seal tightly.
How to lose weight in thighs quickly and effectively?
Admiring the paintings of the Impressionists, we understand how ideas about female beauty have changed today: if earlier they tried to capture curvaceous forms on canvas, modern beauties want to get rid of them. The ideal figure, as seen today, is a thin waist, ample breasts and slender hips. Therefore, the question of how to lose weight in the thighs, buttocks and thighs worries most women who want to look perfect, and they try different ways to get rid of extra centimeters.
Colon scrub for weight loss
The products proposed above are intended for external use, but if you want a truly good weight loss result, then you need to act both externally and internally, namely, use a scrub for the stomach and intestines. It has been proven that it is poor nutrition and a lack of fiber that clogs the gastrointestinal tract, leading to constipation, which in turn provokes weight gain.
Slagging in the body causes the appearance of cellulite and extra centimeters at the waist. That is why cleansing the body should become a habit.
From oatmeal
The basis of this effective intestinal scrub is ordinary oatmeal, steamed with boiling water. You will have to wait a month for noticeable results (that’s how long the course lasts), but it’s worth it - the skin, hair and nails become beautiful, and the volume decreases. In addition, such cleansing is an excellent prevention of gastrointestinal diseases; it also has a beneficial effect on the nervous system.
In the evening, pour 100 ml of water into 70 grams of oatmeal. In the morning, add 20 ml of milk and 10 grams of natural honey to the porridge. Some people add nuts, dried fruits and berries to improve the taste of the dish; we do not recommend doing this, as they will create an additional load. Eat the prepared porridge, chewing thoroughly. After breakfast, you should not eat or drink anything for 3 hours. You are allowed to eat as usual throughout the day.
From buckwheat
Buckwheat, a source of fiber necessary for the normal functioning of the digestive system, will also help cleanse your stomach. Buckwheat cleanses the intestines, prevents constipation, and protects against colon cancer. In addition, it contains proteins, essential amino acids and a lot of useful macro- and microelements.
The detox course lasts 14 days. During the specified time, every day, half an hour before breakfast, you should drink a glass of kefir with the addition of 25 grams of buckwheat crushed in a coffee grinder.
From bran
Cleaning the gastrointestinal tract with bran is considered quite simple, but quite effective in losing weight. The product contains extremely beneficial substances for the body, in particular: fiber, vitamins E, A and B, as well as Ca (calcium), Se (selenium), F (fluorine), Cr (chromium), K (potassium), Mg (magnesium), Zn (zinc), Cu (copper) and others.
To cleanse the intestines every day, 20 minutes before your first meal, eat 2 teaspoons of bran, washed down with 2 glasses of clean still water. The duration of the detox event is one month.
From flax seed
Flaxseed removes toxins, parasites and their waste products from the body; it is also effective for constipation. This is why intestinal scrubs with flax give excellent results. In addition, this product contains a large number of substances necessary for humans. Thus, you will not only cleanse your gastrointestinal tract, but also improve your health.
The event lasts 21 days and consists of drinking a glass of low-fat kefir every day on an empty stomach with the addition of 7 grams of flax seeds, previously ground in a coffee grinder.
There is another option for a detox event. Duration – 3 weeks. In the first 7 days, you should have breakfast with 100 grams of low-fat sour cream or kefir with 5 grams of flaxseed flour. From 8 to 14 days, 10 grams of crushed flaxseeds must be diluted in the specified amount of dairy product. In the third week, increase the portion of kefir to 150 ml and flax to 15 grams.
Where to start to lose weight in thighs?
However, there really are a number of programs developed by specialists that help quickly and effectively remove centimeters from the thighs.
First of all, foods with the so-called high “glycemic index” should be removed from the diet. These are flour products, carbonated drinks, all types of potatoes, mayonnaise and so on. Add to your diet foods that make metabolic processes proceed faster: cinnamon, green tea.
Reviews and results of losing weight
Christina, 31 years old
As a student, she completed courses in cosmetology. Then the teacher shared a recipe for a coffee scrub. More than 10 years have passed since then, and I regularly prepare this miracle remedy. After the procedure, the skin becomes velvety, tightened and acquires a magnificent shade. I can’t say that you can lose weight with the help of the aromatic composition, but in combination with training in the gym and proper nutrition, keeping yourself in shape is not difficult.
Olga, 27 years old
When I read about colon cleansing on one of the forums for those who want to lose weight, I became interested, because the girls said that the result was amazing. Since I love oatmeal, I decided to use it as a “brush”. The extra pounds did not go away, but it felt like I had deflated like a balloon - my volume decreased, my waist became slimmer, and my sides became more toned.
Natalya, 40 years old
I am constantly struggling with extra pounds. I tried a bunch of diets. I recently read about buckwheat cleansing of the gastrointestinal tract and decided it was worth trying. Just 2 weeks was enough to see the result. The body became toned, a feeling of lightness appeared, and most importantly, hunger did not bother me, because during the day you can eat in the usual way, and not limit yourself in everything as during a mono-diet. I definitely recommend it to everyone!
Anna, 24 years old
I used a coffee-honey scrub for 2 months. I’ll say right away that I don’t have any detected cellulite, which is largely due to my habit of using a hard washcloth and periodic physical activity, but I do have excess fat on my sides and tummy. After scrubbing, the bumps became smaller, I was able to see my waist, my skin became elastic and toned, swelling subsided, and my mood became amazing.
Inga, 20 years old
I love chocolate in all forms, so I couldn’t resist trying the chocolate scrub. At first I wanted to go to the salon for the procedure, but when I saw how much the procedure cost, I decided that it was cheaper to do it at home. I bought chocolate, prepared the composition according to one of the recipes you suggested and got down to business. To say that I was delighted is to say nothing. The skin became soft, like a child’s, and my mood improved significantly. It’s too early to talk about the result, since I only performed 4 procedures, but I don’t intend to stop, I want to become irresistible by the miniskirt season.
Why not in the salon?
Studies have shown that the lifespan of epidermal cells is limited to only a month. Then they die, and the skin becomes irritated, dull, and covered with acne...
In fact, beauty salons offer a lot of procedures that are truly effective in combating this unpleasant process. And the stores are full of ready-made scrubs. But why, one might ask, overpay if the miracle drug is not at all difficult to prepare at home? Exclusively natural ingredients can be found in the refrigerator or on the shelf in the kitchen cabinet of almost every housewife. So allergies and other “side” problems can be happily avoided.
