Washing and cleansing your skin everyday doesn’t necessarily take out the dead skin cells from your skin. The homemade scrubs or face washes you use, might not be able to go deeper into your skin and cleanse it from within. For the sole purpose of deep cleansing your skin , exfoliating is considered to be one of the most important and top tasks for everyone. Exfoliating helps remove the dead skin cells and other remaining impurities from your skin. Moreover, it also helps to keep your complexion and skin healthy.
The beauty products today have so much stuff in them to exfoliate your skin. These products however, may contain plastics or parabens or other questionable ingredients that may harm your skin rather than making it healthier.
GOOD NEWS!
Instead of using manufactured products on your skin, you can make your own simple exfoliating face scrubs at home, really easily! They’re inexpensive and really good for your skin. Here are some ideas for DIY scrubs!
Sugar Face Scrub
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon sugar
1-2 drops of lemon
1-2 drops of any essential oil
Method:
Mix all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Using the tips of your fingers, gently rub the scrub into clean face. Avoid your eyes. Remove by rinsing with cool water, and pat dry with a clean towel. Use a moisturizer afterwards.
Coffee Scrub:
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon grind coffee
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Method:
Combine coconut oil and coffee and stir repeatedly. Rub the coffee face scrub into clean facial or neck skin, using gentle circular motions, for almost 60 seconds. Rinse dry with warm water.
Oatmeal and Honey Mask:
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons of uncooked oatmeal
1 tablespoon tea tree oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)

Blend the oatmeal in a blender so that it breaks down. Take the oatmeal and mix it with the oils and honey in a bowl. To use, gently rub into facial skin with circular motions. Leave on the skin for 5 – 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
