Homemade Facial Scrubs

Brighten up your complexion in an instant with this skincare treat. If you do not include a facial scrub in your weekly skincare regime, then you have been missing out. Technically known as exfoliation, it is a simple method that removes dead surface cells from the top of your skin, revealing the plumper, younger ones underneath. The result is a brighter, smoother complexion - no matter what your age.

Use an exfoliator on dry or normal skin once a week. Oily or combination skins can be exfoliated once or twice a week.

Tips on Applying Facial Scrubs

Apply a blob of facial scrub cream to damp skin, massage gently, then rinse away with lots of cool water. Opt for an exfoliator that contains gentler, rounded beads, rather than scratchy ones like crushed kernels.

Try a mini exfoliating pad, lathering up with soap or facial wash.

Whichever methode of exfoliation you choose to use, avoid scrubbing the delicate area around the eyes. This because the skin is very fine here and it can easily be irritated.
