Body polishing is not only good for the effects it has to soften and moisturize the skin but it also helps exfoliate and smoothen the skin. However, this concept is not really new. When you study about the beauty rituals of the Mughal queens or research about the skin practices followed by the Egyptians, you will find that cleansing grains and exfoliaters made with natural ingredients have been since days bygone.
Wheat, rice flour, semi-precious stones, roots, flowers, herbs, grains, pulses and all have been researched and used on the skin to beautify the body and make it smooth. I would propagate the use of exfoliaters on the body not just to remove dead skin but also to detox, soften and smooth the body.The magic of using an exfoliater or body polisher lies in the right mix of ingredients. You can make a body polisher for detoxing the body, removing blackheads and whiteheads, moisturizing and improving the blood circulation. Here's how to make them at home and get glowing skin naturally.
Body Polish for Improving Blood Circulation
1 cup rice powder
1 cup pounded fresh mint leaves
1 tsp camphor
1 cup oatmeal
10 drops of peppermint oil
Mix all the ingredients well and stir in some cool rose water to make a smooth paste. Apply it all over body and when it is semi-dry scrub off by patting a bit of cold milk onto the skin. Rinse with cold water and you will feel a cool tingling sensation all over.
