Homemade Facial Scrubs

Easy, fun to make facial scrub recipes to make the best natural facial scrubs for your skin type

Not only are homemade facial scrubs fun to make and use, but they're one of the super-powers of skincare.

Five hundred million dead skins cells rub off your skin every day, and exfoliating not only helps get rid of them but also speeds up the production of new skin cells and increases healthy circulation.

Skin gets dull and congested when dead skin cells build up, clogging pores and trapping dirt and bacteria (the major cause of acne breakouts.) Scrubbing your face with a mild exfoliant solves all of these problems.

The facial scrub recipes included here use grains, nuts or sugar to remove the dead skin, which will leave your skin glowing, clear and clean. They're also enhanced with essential oils matched to each skin type for even greater effectiveness in revealing clear, happy looking skin (they also make them smell stupendous!)

How to Use Homemade Facial Scrubs

If you have oily or combination skin, you'll likely want to use a scrub daily. If your skin is dry or sensitive, once or twice a week is enough.

Homemade facial scrubs are easy to use: just dampen your skin, then massage the scrub (it's basically a grainy paste) into your skin. When your skin feels tngly and clean, rinse with warm water, then apply toner and moisturizer. Simple but super effective!

Your skin takes 3 to 4 weeks to renew itself, so stick with your natural skincare routine for at least a month before changing it.
