Some Successful Recipes Of Facial Scrubs You Can Make At Home

The beauty of using sugar and mixing it with water as you homemade face wash is that you can maintain your skin care level regardless of your skin type.

Here’s what you need in order to start making your very own scrub. Squeeze some facial cleanser into a small bowl and get some white sugar (about 2 tablespoon) from your kitchen and mix them up. Yes, these ingredients are suitable for all skin types. In fact, you can even customize the ingredients further for better effects.

For instance, if you are dealing with dry skin, you can mix the sugar with some natural oil for an extra replenishing effect. On the other hand, if your skin is of extremely sensitive type, you can use brown sugar swirled with coconut oil as the perfect scrub! This is a guaranteed way to remove or reduce the dead layers of skin without causing damage to the sensitive skin cells.

If you are very hard working enough and wanted to go a little extra length, you can add some honey, yogurt or even green tea too if you like. Honey is an excellent moisturizer while yogurt is great for soothing your facial skins.

Applying Your Own Made Natural Face Scrub

Now get a cotton pad to absorb your home made facial scrub mixture and apply it all over your face. Massage it in your face in circular motion slowly and gently for about two minutes. After that, rinse it off with some warm water and pat dry.

While all of these homemade face scrubs sound great, they work best for people with dry to normal skin and do not work very well for people with extremely oily skin. Salt is actually a better alternative in this case since it can help dehydrate the pores.

However, it is not recommended for people that suffer from dry skin as the salt can actually cause tearing. But, for those that suffer from oily skin, a salt version of facial scrub is recommended and it can be the best solution.

Just like sugar, you can mix the salt with oil to create the best scrub. Remember to only use a spoonful since the salt is extremely potent. Doing this twice a day for one week will instantly show a difference, but refrain from using for long term as this can cause damage the skin over prolonged period of use.

In the meantime, take advantage of the cost effective solutions that these recipes provide. Make you own simple and successful face scrub today, so what are you waiting for?
