Looking for a gentle yet effective exfoliator that’s free from harsh chemicals? A natural gel scrub is a perfect way to cleanse, exfoliate, and refresh your skin — all while using ingredients you can trust.

Here’s how to make your own DIY gel scrub that’s hydrating, soothing, and skin-safe.

✨ Why Choose a Gel Scrub?

Unlike harsh scrubs with large granules, gel scrubs combine light exfoliation with hydration. They’re perfect for:

• Sensitive or acne-prone skin
• Weekly exfoliation without over-drying
• Smoother makeup application

🧪 Ingredients You’ll Need:

Base Gel:

• Aloe vera gel (2 tablespoons) – Soothing, healing, and hydrating
• Vegetable glycerin (optional, 1 teaspoon) – For added moisture

Exfoliant:

• Finely ground sugar or rice powder (1 tablespoon) – Gentle and effective exfoliation
• OR finely ground oats – Great for sensitive skin

Add-ons (Optional):

• 2-3 drops of essential oil (like lavender, tea tree, or chamomile)
• 1 teaspoon of honey – Antibacterial and moisturizing
• A few drops of lemon juice – Brightening (use cautiously on sensitive skin)

🥣 How to Make It:

1. In a clean bowl, mix your aloe vera gel with the glycerin (if using).
2. Stir in your exfoliating powder (sugar, oats, or rice).
3. Add your chosen add-ons like essential oils or honey.
4. Mix until you get a smooth, gel-like texture.
5. Store in a clean jar or small container. Refrigerate for up to 5–7 days for freshness.

💆 How to Use:

1. Start with clean, damp skin.
2. Gently massage a small amount of gel scrub onto your face in circular motions for 1–2 minutes.
3. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
4. Follow with your favorite moisturizer.

🧖 Use 1–2 times a week.
