Homemade Facial Scrubs for Oily Skin:
Oily skin is most prone to pimples and bumps due to the excess secretion of oil glands, and hence a good oil clearing scrub should be used in order to remove excess oil and control the secretion.
Ingredients like rice powder, oats are free from oils so they can be taken as the scrub base. Let us see two special scrub recipes for oily skin which you can make from your kitchen easily.
- Mix 2 drops of lime juice with grounded oats and required rose water to make a paste. After cleansing your face with a facial cleanser, spread this scrub over your facial skin and gently scrub with your finger tips for 3 to 5 minutes. Rinse it off with cold water and then pat dry. This scrub will help you remove the dead skin cells and tan to further offer you clear glowing skin.
- Rice powder and butter milk can also be mixed together for making a quick facial scrub. Simply apply this scrub over your facial skin and leave on for a minute or two. Then gently wet your fingers and scrub your facial skin with your finger tips for a while. Splash clean water and rinse it off completely for supple skin.
Homemade Facial Scrubs for Dry Skin:
Unlike oily skin, dry skin needs extra nourishment and moisturization to prevent it from dryness and tightness. Severe dry skin may lead to wrinkles and dullness which possibly will result in showing you more aged. So, dry skin should be properly maintained with nourishment in order to stay younger forever. An exfoliating scrub, as well as a nourishing cream must be used on dry skins. We can take oats or grounded almonds as a base.
Here are two scrub recipes for dry skin, which will help you get blemish free, as well as nourished skin.
- Add a teaspoon of honey, a teaspoon of milk cream with required grounded oats to make your moisturizing facial scrub. The oats scrub your facial skin while the honey and milk cream prevents drying to thus provide moisture. Cleanse your face with a facial cleanser and spread this scrubbing paste over your skin and scrub for a while gently with your finger tips. You can even leave the scrub on your skin for 5 minutes after scrubbing, to allow the skin to absorb the nourishment. Wash it off with clean water and then moisturize.
- Grounded almonds can be mixed with few drops of vitamin E oil and a teaspoon of sugar to make your dry skin facial scrub. Olive oil can be used to dilute the mixture if it is thick. Spread this over your face and neck. Massage for a while gently with your finger tips and wash it off with clean water. This scrub will help rejuvenate dry skin while exfoliating the dead skin cells to help offer supple and radiant skin!
Tit bits to Remember:
- Scrubbing should be very mildly done in sensitive skins and miniaturization is must in all skin types after the procedure as scrubbing removes the excess moisture from your skin. Oily skins can go for a light moisturizer, while dry skins can use cold creams or heavy nourishing ones.
- Facial scrubs are not recommended more than once or twice a week as they may harm new growing skin cells.
- Drink a lot of water on regular intervals as it will help you cleanse your skin from the inside, thus making it look beautiful from the outside.
