Scrubbing body is a nice way to exfoliate dead skin and home made body scrub gives you freedom to choose your own products. Home made scrubs are gentle, free from chemicals and don't cost you much. Today I'll be telling you about top 6 whitening body scrub that you can make easily using the products which are available in the kitchen.

Homemade Skin Lightening Body Scrubs

Skin Lightening Body Scrubs at Home:


1. Rice and Tomato Body Scrub: 

Rice flour is a whitening agent and very popular amongst Korean women. Tomato, as we all known is a bleaching agent. Make a scrub by mixing the two popular lightening agents at home and use it for luxury bath. Rice flour is not easily available so you can grind rice at home by taking some uncooked rice and soak them in water for around 20 minutes. Now, grind them coarsely and your rice paste is ready. Make tomato puree by grinding it in grinder. Now mix them together and apply it on your body. Massage lightly and then leave for 30 minutes. Rinse off with plain water and skip using soap.


2. Papaya and Oats Body Scrub: Papaya is very good for skin as it removes blemishes, dark spots and helps in lightening skin when used regularly. Oats exfoliate skin without being harsh. Make a body scrub by mixing these two ingredients. Take one fourth papaya and make pulp of it by grinder it. After making papaya pulp, take 2 spoons of oats and mix it with the pulp completely. You can also add some drops of almond oil (or any other essential oil) to hydrate skin.


3. Salt and Lemon Scrub: Sea salt is a great exfoliating skin care product as it contains magnesium sulfide which softens skin and removes dead skin cells. If you don't have sea salt then you can use regular salt but it will not give you the exact results. Rake 2 tbsp of sea salt, 2 tbsp of olive oil and one lemon juice. Mix them together completely and the scrub is ready to use. Quite easy, know? Sea salt will exfoliate your skin, lemon juice will whiten your body and olive oil will keep it nourished.


4. Brown Sugar and Lemon Juice Scrub: Sugar works great in whitening body and if you want fast results then use brown sugar as it’s more effective. Take 2 tbsp brown sugar and grind it in a grinder. Add one lemon juice and few drops of olive oil or almond oil in the mixture. Wet your body and then use this scrub gently by massaging. Wash off with warm water in circular motion.


5. Coffee, Sugar and Cinnamon Body Scrub: Take one cup ground coffee, 1 tbsp cinnamon powder and mix it with half cup brown grinded sugar (if you don't have brown sugar then you can use white sugar too). Now add lemon juice in it to make a thick paste and mix everything completely. You can add essential oil like olive oil or almond oil in it too. Brown sugar, lemon, coffee are whitening agent so use this twice a month to see difference in your complexion.


6. Orange Peel Powder Body Scrub: Eat oranges and collect the peel. Keep the peel in fridge, after two days take the orange-peel out and dry them under sun for one more day. Once the peels are crisp, grind them in grinder to make orange-peel-powder. In one cup orange peel powder, add one fourth tbsp turmeric, 3 tbsp sugar (white or brown whichever is available) and mix them completely. Your skin lightening body scrub is ready to use. Use it by mixing water in it. Orange peel powder when used regularly can whiten your body as it removes tan and dark spots effectively.
