I have been waiting so long, to find a suitable scrub for my skin type and one that works too! Most of the drugstore scrubs doesn't suit my sensitive skin, gives me breakouts and redness. I was rather using turmeric and besan (Chickpea flour) for quite sometime. 

My blackheads on my nose have increased recently, since i started working out everyday. My nose is rough to touch :(
And that is when i found this easy homemade scrub which actually works!

This is an all purpose scrub and can be used to remove dead cells on your skin of any part of the body. And there hundreds of variations that you can make this scrub.

Beauty benefits of Kasthuri Manjal/ Wild Turmeric

Kasthuri Manjal/ Wild Turmeric Beauty Benefits
Kasthuri Manjal is called as wild turmeric in english. It is part of the Curcuma genus - Zingiberaceae family. I think there are 5 types of turmeric available. The ones which we use in cooking, round ones used for pooja or the auspicious one, kasthuri manjal which is used only for cosmetic and medicinal preparation. I'm not sure of the rest of the varieties. This variety of turmeric is grown mostly in the South Asian Countries.

Wild turmeric is an important ingredient in any ayurvedic skin care product. It has anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory, anti-septic and anti-bacterial properties. The yellow pigment in the turmeric makes the skin brighter. It also helps in removing facial hair and pimple marks, when used for a longer time. Ladies used to apply turmeric paste on their body before taking bath ages before, to give a glow to their skin. This ritual is even now followed in marriage ceremonies in India. So how do we use it as a face pack?

Last time my mom came home, she felt my face was dull even after a facial at a nearby parlor :( This is why I'm not a parlor hitting girl!! She took the pains of searching kasthuri manjal in the market, and found a shop which sold the dried kasthuri manjal roots. She brought them home and grinded it coarsely in the mixer. Sieved it to make a fine powder and stored it for my later use. You can also buy 100% organic Kasthuri manjal powder available from some known brands.

Home made Spa Gift Package
Don't you think we deserve to have a Spa treatment every weekend, after an hectic week?? But Spa at a parlour is so damn pricey nowadays, that we can't afford them every week. Rather we can have a spa treatment at home and save the money for some shopping :P

Body scrubs are an essential step in any beauty regime, for proper exfoliation of the skin - removing dead cells and sun tan. They also have moisturizing properties added to them. We have listed a good collection of DIY Body Scrubs, posted by various bloggers out there. We found them very helpful and exciting to try it out. We have given the link to the original blogger's recipe for each of them to give them the due credits. :)  Just make sure to test it first by making a small batch, since some ingredients might not suit sensitive skin. But no harmful effects.. everything is natural!! For maximum benefit gently rub on the scrub on your body in circular motion, focusing on rough areas like knees, elbows and heels.

You can also make these scrubs at home, pack it beautifully with some charms & writings and gift it to your loved ones.
