Today if you go to a market to buy any face scrub you need to give them a lot of money. Moreover, you cannot think of heading towards beauty salon because of their high costs. So we are here with the steps from which you can make your apricot scrub at your home. Just imagine a scrub without any harmful chemicals and preservatives. The main ingredient of apricot scrub that wonders on the skin is the apricot kernel. It is obtained from inside the hard, spiny seed found inside the apricot fruit. It looks like an almond but is smaller in size & bitter in taste.
An abrasive scrub like one formulated with apricot kernels helps get rid of the old, dead skin cells on the surface of your skin to allow new skin to regrow. Over time, this exfoliating action can help get rid of fine lines and small wrinkles. Apricot kernels contain several compounds including vitamin E and amygdalin, also called Laetrile.
Ingredients: Apricot Fruit (outer part) Apricot Kernel Powder Honey
Procedure:
First to make the apricot kernel powder remove the seeds from the fruit. Now roast these seeds in the sunlight for 2-3 days. Once they become dry, break the outer shell using a nutshell breaker to get kernels. Now grind the kernels to a fine powder using a grinder. If you find the gritters too hard grind them again as per your convenience. To make apricot puree, peel off the outer skin of the fruit and then puree it in a blender or you can also use a cheese grater and make a paste of it. Do not make it too runny. Now take 2 tablespoons of apricot puree along with 1 of apricot kernel powder in a clean bowl. Now add ½ tablespoon of honey in it and mix well and your homemade apricot scrub is ready.Also, see:
