Face Scrubs

Face scrubs are good and helpful accessories that one can have. Using face scrubs once or twice a week would exfoliate and get rid of the dead skin. Face scrubs are suited for individuals with oily skins, although many people with normal and dry skin types can use face scrubs too.

If you have already replaced your cleanser with face scrubs, use the face scrubs moderately. Assuming you have sensitive skin, using face scrubs more than twice a week may result in skin sagging. Even though many dermatologists recommend that people do exfoliating measures for their skin, people should use the face scrubs gently to prevent any negative effects after exfoliation.

Making your own face scrubs

A basic component of home-made face scrubs is brown sugar. The molasses in the sugar serve to exfoliate, and if one has oily skin, he/she could use salt, ground aspirin or even baking soda. But if one has sensitive and dry skin, oatmeal would do well as face scrubs.

How to use the home-made face scrubs

Wet your face, but do not wash it yet with soap. Put a bit of water to the sugar, but not so much that they would melt. Then, scrub your face gently in circular motions using fingertips. When the sugar has melted, let the mixture rest on the skin for about 5 to 10 minutes. If you want, you could use a toner, and then a moisturizer after exfoliation.

Fruits and face scrubs

Are you aware that fruits could be used as face scrubs too? The avocado could clean the skin, making it feel fresh. Get one dried avocado pit, half of a banana, olive oil and a plastic bag. Grind that avocado pit until they are extremely fine, mix it with the banana and the oil. The result should be a thick paste which would be the face scrubs. In applying these face scrubs, do not exert a lot of force, for the avocado pit would exfoliate on its own. Then, rinse the face scrubs off, first with some warm water and then followed by cold water.

Face scrubs help in shaving

For the men, face scrubs can serve in one of the most tedious hygiene-related chores. Using face scrubs would open the face's pores and bring out stubs for a more accurate shave. The exfoliation would get rid of the dead cells which cause infection or acne.
