Making your own soap is popular all over the world today. This creative process allows you to create a unique, high-quality and useful product. If you add flower petals, ground coffee, and salt to the soap, you get a DIY scrub soap.
Anyone can make such soap; there is nothing complicated in the manufacturing technology. But, you still need to familiarize yourself with the main stages and learn some features. Components for scrub soap are sold on the Internet or in a specialized store. You can’t do without a nourishing oil that best suits your skin, a fragrance or essential oil, or an extract from a plant.

How to make scrub soap at home
As already mentioned, you can also make your own scrub soap without a base. A piece of baby soap can easily replace a store-bought base, as this master class proves. The main thing is to choose soap without dyes and with a minimum amount of fragrances.
Ingredients for making homemade scrub soap
To make scrub soap you will need:
- baby soap – 1 piece;
- olive oil – 30 g;
- dried coffee grounds - 1 heaped tablespoon;
- ground oatmeal - 1 tablespoon;
- dried tea rose petals - 1 tablespoon;
- soap molds - 2 pieces;
- wooden spoon for stirring;
- utensils for melting soap.
Manufacturing method: Step 1. Cut baby soap into small pieces and place in a bowl in which you will melt it. An old cup will do for this.
Step 2: Place the cup of soap in a metal bowl of water and place the bowl on the heat. Melt the contents of the cup, stirring with a wooden spoon. Soap does not melt as well as a special base, so its consistency will be similar to very thick sour cream.
Step 3. Add oil to the cup of soap.
Step 4. Stir soap and oil until smooth. If you find unmelted pieces of soap, don’t be upset, they will dissolve later when you add the scrub.
Step 5. Divide the resulting soap into two portions. Add coffee to the first one and stir thoroughly. Quickly pour into a mold (if you don’t have a special mold, a plastic cup or yoghurt box will work fine for this, but not glassware).
Step 6. Add tea rose petals to the second portion and stir.
Step 7. Add ground oatmeal there and quickly pour the future scrub soap into the mold, stirring as you go. Speed at the last stage is needed so that the flakes do not have time to swell.
Step 8. Place both molds with soap on the windowsill until they cool completely.
Step 9. Before removing the soap, put it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, after which it will easily come off the mold. As a result, in a short time you will prepare two wonderful scrub soaps with your own hands from a piece of baby soap. Improvisation during soap making is encouraged, so based on all of the above, make scrub soap with pleasure and imagination.

Reviews
Quite recently I have acquired a new hobby, which I really like: I make soap at home. At first I used a base of baby soap. I also immediately ordered special silicone molds from the online store and bought also ice molds in the shape of seashells. I immediately began experimenting with various additives. I tried adding colorful clay, flavors, dried herbs and flowers, and essential oils. By the way, essential oils should never be mixed with fragrances. You need to use just one thing, otherwise it will not have the best effect on the condition of your skin and your health in general. What I liked the most was the coffee soap. The result is a natural product that cleanses the skin and immediately nourishes it. The face and body become smooth, the skin looks like after visiting a cosmetologist.
For my birthday, a colleague gave me a set of soap that she made herself. To be honest, I was delighted with it, and what impressed me most was the scrub soap with coffee particles. I decided to make my first soap “as a test”, just a few pieces. I took a minimum of ingredients, and for the soap base I used soap remnants that remained in large quantities in the bathroom (thanks to my husband, he doesn’t like to throw anything away). I ground the coffee beans right before the process to make the product more aromatic. In addition to the main ingredients, I was advised to add pharmacy vitamins A and E. The contents of the capsules are simply added to the soap mass. From the first time I got a delicious soap, after which the skin is simply unrecognizable, it becomes so soft and velvety.
Homemade scrub soap is quite simple to make. You just need to follow the correct technology and recipe, and if you use your imagination, you will get a useful and exclusive cosmetic product. And most importantly, you can be sure of its environmental friendliness, because it is based on only natural ingredients.

Practical recommendations and advice
When preparing coffee scrub soap at home, it is advisable to avoid floral, fruit and other strong flavors. The aroma of cocoa or chocolate should be preferred, since the grains negatively affect other odors, transform or absorb them.
It is recommended to use silicone molds. They are flexible, so it is easier to get the finished block out of them. After hardening, it is advisable to leave plastic forms with soap in the freezer for several minutes. This will make it easier to remove the block.
When preparing scrub soap, it is better to make several layers. In this way, the settling of abrasive particles will be partially avoided. You should additionally stir each layer (with the exception of the top and bottom) when a film appears on top. The base should not be too hot, otherwise it will melt the rest of the soap. Migration of dyes will occur.
When choosing base oils, you need to take into account your skin type and the composition of the soap base. If it already contains additional components, it is advisable to avoid using other ingredients. Otherwise, excess in the form of drops may appear on the bars later.
Sunflower or olive oil can be used in production, but it is better to give preference to other types. For example, walnuts in moderate quantities (up to 5% of the total volume) moisturize the skin, but do not lather well. Cocoa (up to 7%) adds flavor, softens the coating and makes the bar stronger. However, too much oil can cause soap to become brittle and crumbly.
Tips for choosing ingredients
Homemade scrub soap includes the following ingredients:
- Transparent base. Most often it is bought in specialized departments of stores, but you can make the base yourself using glycerin, alkali with water and oils. Of course, it is better to prepare a transparent base yourself, but it is difficult for novice soap makers to follow the exact recipe. In order to make the base correctly, you need to monitor the weight of each ingredient, temperature, and correct proportions.
- Homemade soap is often made with the addition of scrubbing particles, which help exfoliate the top layer of the epidermis. For these purposes, various products are used: ground oatmeal, semolina, millet, zest, dried plants, but the best option is considered to be natural ground coffee.
- Essential oil. Citrus oils, ylang-ylang, patchouli, lemon balm, mint and others are often added to cosmetic home remedies.
- The cosmetic product contains base oils that make the skin softer and smoother. In addition, oils prevent the finished cosmetic product from cracking and falling apart. The composition may include body milk, cream, full-fat milk, cream.
Base for making homemade soap
Various soap base manufacturers offer a wide range of their products. The basics differ according to the following criteria:
- price;
- hardening speed;
- hardness.
Specialized stores offer organic bases that allow you to make a completely environmentally friendly product.
Many soap makers use baby soap that does not contain fragrance. The block is grated with a grater, melted in a water bath and mixed with the rest of the ingredients.
Types of soap bases
- Transparent. It contains glycerin, which has moisturizing properties. It is absolutely safe even for children's skin; it remains transparent when adding a small amount of oil. This soap base is sufficient, flexible, easy to cut and convenient to use. The only disadvantage of this raw material is a slight odor that can be easily eliminated with the help of fragrances.
- White, matte base. Does not contain foreign impurities, is a safe raw material. Titanium dioxide gives the white color to the base. This component does not affect human health; it is used in the manufacture of toothpaste and some cosmetic products.
Why is a scrub made from baby soap preferable or how to choose a base
But if we have finally figured out the additional element, all that remains is to choose the soap, which we will later turn into a scrub.
Of course, it is clear that if we are going to make a completely healthy product, something cheap will not do. Chemicals that cleanse our skin also not only remove impurities, but also harm it, destroying and drying it out. And only then, with the growth of popularity, the manufacturer begins to think about the quality of the product. Therefore, for a high-quality scrub, something expensive is suitable. But what's the point of saving money on a purchase if a good foundation is expensive?
Which coffee will be more effective?
Only natural coffee is used in soap making. Soluble sublimate is absolutely useless, moreover, its chemical composition can negatively affect the condition of the skin. It is advisable to add medium grind coffee beans to soap that will be used on the body. For feet and hands, it is better to use a product with the addition of coarse grinding.
Possible additives
In addition to the main components, the following ingredients can be added to home cosmetics if desired:
- crushed oatmeal and almond seeds, coconut flakes, dried plants, citrus fruit zest;
- natural honey in liquid form, dark or milk chocolate, cocoa powder, dairy products;
- dyes (liquid or dry). Instead of ready-made dyes, many use natural products: turmeric, beet juice, curry;
- For decoration during the soap-making process, small sparkles and other decor are added.
How to give soap an unusual shape
Those involved in home soap making pay special attention to the shape of the product. Everyone wants to end up with not a shapeless piece of soap, but an exclusive product with an unusual shape. For this purpose, special molds of a wide variety of shapes are used. The choice of molds is huge: animals, plants, geometric shapes, food, flowers. Instead of special molds for home soap making, you can take baking molds or even children's molds from sand sets. As for the material, it is preferable to choose a mold made of silicone or plastic. Rubber options are also suitable. It is better not to use glass and ceramics, because it is extremely difficult to get the soap mass out of such forms.
Important! The use of iron products is strictly prohibited, as an unexpected chemical reaction may occur during which the product will become hazardous to health.
Spring scrub recipes
With the warmer months approaching, girls want their skin to look perfect, even and soft. But prolonged cold and lack of sunlight often cause it to fade, become dry and lose elasticity.

For 5-7 minutes, rub it into the skin with massaging movements, paying special attention to the fingers and nails. If desired, the mixture can be left for some more time - then the nutrients will penetrate into the deeper layers of the epidermis and also strengthen the nails
Salt scrub
Thanks to the sea salt scrub, the skin of your hands receives the maximum amount of nutrients needed in the spring. The bulk product in the amount of 20 g is poured with 100 ml of any liquid honey. Large crystals can be crushed in a mortar or blender. For sensitive and dry skin, use fine salt. In addition, the composition includes ylang-ylang oil (1 drop) and grape seed oil (5 ml), which is known to nourish the skin well. That is why it is often used for massage. The mixture must be stored in the refrigerator so that the salt does not dissolve and the honey thickens slightly.
Cocoa scrub
One of the most gentle home hand care products. Exfoliating particles are small grains of sea salt (10 g) and white or cane sugar (25 g).

Autumn scrub recipes
Low temperatures and frosty air have a bad effect mainly on the condition of the skin of the hands. Cosmetics do not always help protect it from drying out. And this often leads to the appearance of painful cracks in the palms and fingers.
To prevent such problems, it is important to properly care for your delicate skin in the autumn, providing it with all the necessary microelements and vitamins. Homemade beauty recipes will help you with this
Oatmeal scrub

Recommendations for use
With a scrub in the form of soap, made by yourself, you need to be able to use it correctly and know some subtleties.
It is important to remember that scrub soap cannot be used daily on either the body or face. Twice a week will be enough. With soap you need to lather the skin of the body and face with soft circular massage movements, and then wash off the foam.
Before use, you need to make sure that none of the components included in the piece causes allergic reactions.
It is not very advisable to use soap for girls under 25 years of age. Until this age, the skin is considered young and does not need additional exfoliation. It updates itself quite quickly.
After using a scrub soap containing oils or herbal infusions, the use of a cream or body lotion is not always required. The skin becomes soft and silky.
How to use leftovers
Often we do not use the soap completely and so-called remnants remain. Don’t rush to throw them away: you can easily make new soap from them, both solid and liquid.
To prepare it, you need:
- Water (hot);
- Milk;
- Container for the finished product;
- Grater;
- Silicone molds.
For the liquid version, take water, soap and milk in a ratio of 2:2:1. Grate the soap on a fine grater and pour the shavings into a container. After this, pour hot water, shake the container well so that the shavings dissolve in the water. Leave the resulting mixture for two to three hours, stirring the contents of the container periodically until the mixture becomes completely homogeneous. Over time, the shavings will completely dissolve and you can pour milk, essential oils into it and use it as liquid soap.
To obtain a solid product, pour boiling water over the soap shavings and leave to dissolve, stirring approximately every 15 minutes. After a couple of hours, pour the mixture into molds and place in a cool place to harden. In a couple of days your soap will be ready.

Necessary equipment
The production of a handmade cosmetic product is impossible without special equipment. You will need the following:
- Enameled pan (stainless steel is also suitable).
- Larger container (needed to make a water bath).
- Container made of plastic or glass.
- Whisk, measuring cup, spoons.
- Accurate kitchen scales (electronic).
- Spray.
- Various shapes for the final product.
For work, they use a ready-made soap base, soap for children, or prepare soap from scratch, which is a more complex process. The fastest and easiest way to create scrub soap with your own hands is from a ready-made base.
- a glass (mug, bowl) for heating the soap base;
- stick for stirring ingredients;
- saucer;
- soap molds.
Since the soap base melts at a temperature of 60-65 degrees, you will need to use a microwave or create the effect of a water bath using a regular pan.
What else should you prepare?
If you want to give your soap your favorite color, you need to purchase a dye or pigment. Flavoring or fragrance is also used as desired. They can be fruity, floral, with the smell of women's and men's perfume, chocolate, vanilla and even cognac. You will also need a small amount of odorless vegetable oil to grease the molds.
After pouring the base into the mold, bubbles will form on the surface of the soap; they will not change the properties of the soap, but the appearance of the finished product will suffer. Therefore, if the aesthetic moment is important, you will need alcohol and a spray bottle. Instead of medical alcohol, you can use formic alcohol; it is available in every pharmacy.
- coloring pigment;
- fragrance;
- vegetable oil;
- alcohol and a spray bottle.
