Try a homemade sugar scrub for a shaved head that is incredibly smooth and clean

If your proudly bald dome is prone to flaking, greasiness, blemishes, or you just need a good, uplifting scrub, you can always consider doing a sugar scrub. Exfoliating, moisturizing and stimulating for the skin, you can use it in the shower on your head, face and body. For a bald head, it provides a deep clean before shaving and a good polish afterwards. You can’t imagine how soft, smooth and shiny your bald head can make.

A sugar scrub is mostly regular white table sugar. Put some in an airtight container and add a little glycerin and oil. The oil can be sweet almond, apricot kernel, jojoba or just grapeseed or olive oil in your cooking. Don’t worry too much about the quantities. Just use a little more oil than glycerin and use just enough to make a thick paste that crumbles a bit. It is a sugar scrub and you can use it as is, but it is better if you add a few other ingredients.

You can add some vitamin E oil, which can be easily obtained in a bottle or by squeezing it out of a few vitamin E gel capsules. Vitamin C crystals are another possibility.

A few drops of essential oil will give your sugar scrub a pleasant scent, along with other properties. You may want to combine aromatherapy with your scrub, improve the cleansing or moisturizing ability of your scrub, and even make it a bit antiseptic. There really is no limit to the essential oil combinations you can try. Read a bit and ask for advice at your local health food store or anywhere you get essential oils. Essential oils are quite powerful, and when using them, either alone or in combination, you need to be careful to avoid unexpected skin reactions.

You can also add powdered spices, such as cinnamon or ginger, cocoa or whatever you like the most. These things can potentially get messy when in use, so it’s best to use them exclusively in the shower.

Store your sugar scrub in a sealable container and keep it dry. The oil will settle over time, but it is easily fixed with a quick movement.

For a great head shave, use your sugar scrub in the shower. After a quick rinse, turn off the water or get out from underneath, take a spoonful of sugar scrub on your fingers and spread it over your head. Gently massage your scalp. Small circular motions work best and feel great. Make sure to wrap around your ears, the back of your neck, and the base of your skull. Anywhere dirt tends to get trapped. The sugar will start to dissolve on its own after a couple of minutes. You will feel the oil covering your scalp. Simply lather over the top and enjoy one of the smoothest shaves you’ve ever had. After shaving, you can even rub your head a second time. The circular rub will not only feel nice and stimulate your scalp, but it will also help you find the rough areas that require a touch-up shave.

Wash your scalp with soap and water, pat yourself dry, and finally run your hands over your head that is deliciously silky smooth.

You most likely want to take your time and be more thorough on that last step.
