How to Make a Natural Moisturizing Body Scrub

Pamper yourself with a homemade moisturizing scrub.

You should moisturize every time you exfoliate—sure, you know that. But did you know you can do both at the same time? It's easy to make a natural moisturizing body scrub that uses ground almonds and ground oatmeal to gently scrub away dead skin and help to encourage healthier skin. Meanwhile, avocado and jojoba oil moisturize the skin.

Things You'll Need

• 1/4 cup ground almonds
• 1 cup ground oatmeal
• 1 avocado
• 1 teaspoon jojoba oil (optional)

Instructions

1. Mash the avocado in a small mixing bowl. If you prefer you can use a blender or food processor to puree it.

2. Combine the ground almonds and oatmeal with the avocado.

3. Add the jojoba oil and stir together once more.

4. Start a warm bath, and gently massage the mixture into the desired areas. Use a towel if you have a dry complexion, as this will help to remove dead skin. Try to focus especially on dry areas of skin, such as the elbows, knees and feet.

5. Wait 15 to 20 minutes, then gently rinse off with the bathwater.
