Exfoliating your skin is very important for healthy and supple skin. Here are few DIY Argan Oil Scrub Recipes you can try.
Argan Face Scrub
Many switch to Argan Oil for Skin benefits it has to offer. Though pricey, you need a few drops. Here’s a quick and easy face Scrub that suits most skin types.
Ingredients
Ground Oatmeal – 1 Tsp.
Argan Oil – a few Drops
Neem Oil – As Needed (optional)
Method
In a mixer, grind the oatmeal into coarse or fine powder. You can also use a mortar and pestle to do it.
Add a few drops of Argan Oil and the rest Neem Oil, to form a fairly thick paste that’s easy to apply.
Now, ready for the scrubbing part?
Usage
Wash your face and then apply the scrub in circular motions. Concentrate on problem areas like T-zone and areas with dry skin.
You can also use a soft, dry toothbrush to scrub.
Wash off with warm water.
Pat Dry and check how soft your skin feels like!
Don’t fall in love with your skin and forget the moisturizer!
Notes
You can skip the Neem Oil if you aren’t comfortable with the smell and use Coconut Oil or Olive Oil instead.
I chose ground oatmeal as it is gentle on your face. You can choose semi-fine sugar /salt (rock salt, Himalayan salt or Dead Sea salt, if you are comfortable with it.
You can add essential oils, or aroma oils for a spa experience at home.
Argan Lip Scrub
An invigorating, yet gentle scrub for softer and fuller lips! Now, wear the gloss with more confidence as your lips will look and feel softer and even.

Rose Petals – 2 Tbsp. (Fresh)
Honey – ¼ Tbsp.

You can use any edible fresh petals like Violet, Chrysanthemum, Daisies, Angelica, Sage, Rosemary, Jasmine, Chamomile, etc. Choose the one that you get at your place, or the one you love!
The petals add a nice appearance and loads of benefits to the recipe.
Argan Body Scrub
While the face and lips are delicate, body can withstand slight abrasion and slightly rough handling. Besides, you need a more vigorous scrub than what you use for your face or lips for the body, for perfect exfoliation.
Ingredients
Argan Oil – 1 Tbsp.
Vanilla Extract – 1 Tsp.
Coconut Oil – 2 Tbsps. / As Needed
Espresso Coffee Grounds – 1 Cup
Method
In a bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well.
Scoop out and transfer to a container and refrigerate.
Voila! You’re body scrub is ready.
Usage
Twice a month, use the scrub with special attention to elbows, knees, ankles and other problem areas.
Massage in circular motions while scrubbing and wash off.
You can use a brush for scrubbing. Make sure the brush isn’t too harsh on your skin.
Pat Dry. Your skin will love you for the experience.
Follow-up with a coconut oil massage for moisturizing.
Notes
You can use sugar or salt in this recipe, instead of coffee grounds. They’re less messy too.
Don’t prepare a whole lot; it is best when prepared frequently for every few uses.
You can add your favorite essential oils for a spa-like experience.
Notes – For all Scrubs
You can use salt for exfoliation in all the recipes. If you plan to use salt, Himalayan Salt or Black Sea Salt is the best. However, Rock Salt or any other salt should do the trick.
You can use brown sugar, or refined sugar for the scrub. Just make sure it is not too fine, or too harsh on your skin.
You can add essential oils, or aroma oils for a spa experience at home. For Lip Scrub, make sure you choose food grade oils.
Those with delicate skin can stick to ground oatmeal for scrub. It is suitable for sensitive skin and also curbs inflammation or redness. If you think salt or sugar is harsh for your skin, just use ground oatmeal.
You can use an exfoliating scrub at least twice a month.
