Add as a preferred source on Google

Time and again, we have been drilled about the endless benefits of body exfoliating - It sloughs off dead skin cells, boosts blood circulation, improves skin tone and tightens up skin, we heard all that!

However, what you didn't hear is that your favourite flavour body scrub is not all-seasonal.

What worked for you in summer will not necessarily work in winter. And your skin requirement changes as your body ages. And if you are a new mommy, you probably need to go a little gentle on your skin.

Why, you ask? Well, after the trauma of birthing, or miracle as they say, your body is no longer the same.

It expands to an unparallel level to accommodate the new life, and after child birth, though it shrinks back like a rubberband, there is still vacuum.

And elasticity of your skin takes some major beating. So, scrubbing regularly helps restore the firmness to your skin.

Some women during pregnancy develop what is called 'mask of pregnancy', wherein their skin becomes excessively dark or they develop a serious case of acne.

Your body sheds this mask post pregnancy, and the skin starts clearing up. Hence, a suitable scrub will fasten the process, without being too harsh on your skin.

To introduce you back to your old-gorgeous self, we have curated a body scrub recipe that is effective while being gentle. Take a look.

The recipe contains five essential ingredients: Pineapple extract, mashed banana, coconut oil, sugar and flower petals of your choice.

Vital enzymes present in pineapple will strip dead skin cells, while banana hydrates and soothes the skin; and coconut oil nourishes the skin and gives it a radiant glow.

Sugar works to cleanse skin, unclog the pores and kill the infection-causing bacteria. And the last ingredient in our pack flower petals relax our mind and leave the skin feeling soft and fragrant.

Ingredients Required

• 1 cup of diced pineapple
  
• ½ sliced banana
  
• 1 cup of sugar
  
• 1 cup of coconut oil
  
• Flower petals of your choice

Method Of Preparation & Application

• Smash diced pineapple and banana slice in a bowl, until it gets a smooth consistency. Add in the sugar and coconut oil. Stir in until all the components combine well. Top it off with the flower petals for that added goodness.
• Lather the pack all over your body. Sit back and relax for 15 to 20 minutes. Once dry, scrub your body in a circular motion or use a loofah. Rinse away the residue. Follow it up with a nourishing body lotion.

Your skin will feel visibly soft, radiant and firm with regular use. If you have any more body scrub recipes, gentle enough for new mommies, feel free to share them with us!
