MCT Oil Exfoliant
Preparation Time | 10 mins
Benefits of Homemade Body Exfoliant with MCT Oil:
- Exfoliating: The granulated sugar acts as a natural exfoliant, helping to slough off dead skin cells and reveal smoother, softer skin underneath.
- Moisturising: MCT oil and coconut oil provide deep hydration to the skin, leaving it feeling nourished and moisturised after exfoliation.
- Lightweight: MCT oil has a lightweight texture that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy residue, making it ideal for use in body exfoliants.
- Customisable: You can customise the fragrance and therapeutic benefits of your homemade body exfoliant by choosing different essential oils that suit your preferences and skin's needs.
- Cost-effective: Making your own body exfoliant at home can be more cost-effective than purchasing commercial exfoliating products, especially if you buy the ingredients in bulk. Plus, you have the added benefit of knowing exactly what's going into your skincare products.
