Make Your Own Body Scrub at Home This Summer

Make Your Own Body Scrub at Home This Summer

A good scrub habit makes a real difference once the humid months set in. With a few kitchen basics and the right bowls and jars from Maltashopper, you can mix a fresh batch whenever your skin needs it.

Measure, mix and massage it in

A simple scrub needs little more than ground coffee, sugar and a spoonful of coconut oil, measured out properly so the texture stays consistent each time. The VARDAGEN measuring cup and VARDAGEN measuring jug make this easy, giving you accurate quantities whether you are making a small batch for one or enough to share with the household.

Once measured, stir everything together in a BLANDA serving bowl, which has enough depth to mix without spilling over the sides. Strain out any larger coconut pieces with the IDEALISK strainer if you prefer a smoother blend, and use the IKEA 365+ scoop set of 2 to portion the mixture out neatly, one scoop for the bowl and one for storage.

Store it, scrub it, keep it close at hand

Once your scrub is ready, a KORKEN jar with lid keeps it fresh between uses and looks tidy on a shelf or windowsill in even the smallest Maltese bathroom. Glass jars like this also make it simple to see at a glance how much you have left, which matters in a compact apartment or maisonette bathroom where storage space is often limited.

For the scrubbing itself, the DVÄRGHYACINT scrub belt is easy to loop around your back and reach the areas your hands cannot. Keep your VARDAGEN measuring cup and BLANDA serving bowl nearby so your next batch is just as quick to mix, ready for whenever Malta's warm, sticky weather calls for a proper refresh.
