All-Natural Magickal Skin Scrubs

I love bringing magick into every area of my daily life. This includes incorporating magick and psychic hygiene into my regular hygiene regimen. Skin scrubs are cleansing in nature, both on the physical level and on the spiritual. After lots of experimenting, I’ve decided to share some of my favorite recipes for magickal skin scrubs. Make sure to bless each ingredient and to charge it before adding it in and focus on infusing your scrubs with your intention while making it. Store these scrubs in air-tight containers and use them as scrubs while in the shower or bath. All of these formulas are all-natural and have beneficial properties to your skin. Most of these ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen, if not they’re easily acquired and inexpensive.

Formulas

Below are the reasoning behind the ingredients, both magickal reasons and skin benefits. While the ingredients below can contain other magickal properties, I’ve just listed the reasons why I’ve included them into the recipe.

Scar fading serum and licorice mask

- Hemp seed or pumpkin seed oil - helichrysum essential oil - bearberry extract - a glass bottle

Instructions - in a small glass bottle, mix 20 drops of helichrysum essential oil and 30 drops of bearberry extract, then pour your base oil of choice and seal, shake gently before use. it should be left in a cool, dark area.

Licorice Mask

-Applied before scar serum- done every other day for 30 mins or longer if desired)

- Licorice extract- non alcohol based (I use the stuff made with glycerin bc the alcohol would affect the chemistry of the herb and thus how it works when applied to skin)

- rice flour, a heaping teaspoon

Instructions - I use my eyes to gage how much licorice bc the bottle I use has a dropper included, I’d say enough drops to make a paste with the rice flour (so about 30 drops?) The paste should be viscous enough to stay on your skin without it dripping and as it dries it shouldn’t slip from your face anyway.

After 30 mins (i sometimes leave it on for longer and have had no issues with irritation) rinse with lukewarm water.

These two methods and ingredients have really improved the overall look and feel of my skin and I think they’ll help anyone, especially my black and dark brown folks with skin issues relating to acne, discoloration, scars, and sensitivity.

Natural Exfoliants! 

Why should you exfoliate?

Exfoliating is an important part in caring for your skin. Our bodies create new cells on the skin’s inner layer called the dermis, and as they form, we naturally shed the old, dead cells that are pushed to the outer layer called the epidermis. But sometimes they can remain for too long, making your skin look dull and causing impurities. Exfoliating once or twice a week (I like to in the shower because it’s quick and convenient) can assist the natural shedding process in removing dead cells, rejuvenating, smoothing softening and toning your skin. It helps removes debris and dirt that can clog your pores and cause acne, blemishes or even ingrown hairs. Any and all skin types can exfoliate with the right (natural) ingredients! Sensitive, oily or dry!

Why natural ingredients?

Simple! Using natural ingredients on your skin is a much better alternative to using products that contain harsh and harmful chemicals that can irritate and even worsen your skin. Bonus points when the ingredients are organic and/or vegan (thus being cruelty free as well!) This way, it’s better for you, your skin, your body, the environment…and your wallet, since you probably have a lot of this stuff in your house already!

Here are some good, natural ingredients for your skin! 

Good things for your skin!

Honey - 

Yogurt - 

         Apply to skin, let sit for 20 minutes, rinse.

Sugar - 

         Mix 1 teaspoon of sugar with ½ teaspoon honey. In circular motions, gently massage into your skin and then rinse well.

         Mix about one half cup of sugar, white or brown, with enough oil (olive, grapeseed, sunflower, coconut, jojoba – whatever you prefer or have on hand!). Again, in circular motions, rub onto skin and rinse. Works for your body as well :) 

Oatmeal - 

         Grind one cup of oatmeal in a blender, food processor or by hand with a mortar and pestle (or some other way, just grind it up somehow) and mix together with one cup of plain yogurt and two tablespoons of honey. Stir until it becomes a smooth paste and apply to face. Leave it for 15 minutes and then rinse with warm water.

         Mix 1 tablespoon of ground oatmeal with ¼ teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of oil. Rub onto face and then rinse. 

Papaya-

        Mash one and use it as a facial mask!

Ground Coffee -  

         Stir together two cups ground coffee with one cup sea salt and two to three tables spoons of oil. Wet your face with warm water (not hot!) to open your pores and then, in circular motions, rub onto skin and then rinse!

Sea Salt -

         Mix with oil, rub onto wet skin in circular motions and rinse. This works well all over your body! 

If you don’t have oil, you can just use water. Oil just doubles as a moisturizer (and each oil has it’s own beneficial properties). If you make a big enough batch of a scrub, you may want to store it in a glass container in the fridge! Of course these can be doubled or made smaller, just keep the proportions relatively the same :)

I am no expert, this is just information I have gathered over time of learning about natural alternatives. If you have a serious skin issue, seek medical attention please.
