These DIY exfoliating scrubs are amazing for your skin & super simple to make
DIY exfoliating scrubs are a beneficial thing if it is made and applied correctly. It helps take out the dead skin cells and helps unclog the dirt and oil that lives in the pores and causes a breakout. Store-bought products contain chemicals and many other ingredients with unknown benefits; that’s another reason to make your exfoliating scrubs.
These scrubs should be used two to three times a week; using them every day is also bad for the skin. Whenever you try a new product, try using it before going to bed. That way, your skin will have time to recover while you sleep if you have an adverse reaction.
To keep things cheap and easy, we have mentioned some natural homemade DIY exfoliating scrubs that you can easily make at home.
Basic baking soda scrubs
There are many benefits of using baking soda. It helps in freshening the air, removing the stains, cleaning sinks and showers, and triggering the explosions in science fair volcanoes. But besides that, there is one of the importance of baking soda: face exfoliant. The grains present in the baking soda are perfect to act as a gentle exfoliant, and they can also help in clearing acne.
Ingredients
- Baking soda
- Facial cleanser
- Water
Direction
- Mix the baking soda with the regular facial cleanser to make an exfoliating cleanser. You can also make a paste with just soda and water.
- Let it be on your skin for 5 to 10 minutes, and gently rinse it off.
Nourishing sugar scrubs
Another best natural exfoliant is granulated sugar. Mix the sugar with honey. Honey contains powerful antioxidant and antimicrobial properties that can be very beneficial for the skin.
Ingredients
- One teaspoon honey
- lemon juice
- One teaspoon of raw sugar
Directions
- Mix the sugar and honey and squeeze the fresh lemon juice
- Mix all of them well
- If the mixture becomes loose, add a bit of sugar.
- Apply it on the face while leaving it for 10 to 20 minutes, and rinse it off with warm water
Coconut oil and Lemon Scrub
A sugar scrub is a perfect way to pamper and exfoliate your skin. Sugar scrubs help to brighten dull skin and tired skin and give you glowing skin. On the other hand, lemon exfoliates and softens the skin while helping to reduce pigmentation and dark spots. Coconut oil offers numerous beauty benefits and serves as an age-old skin tonic. To make this scrub, mix both coconut oil and lemon face scrub. First, take half a cup of coconut oil and add 2 tablespoons of sugar. Gently scrub the mixture onto your freshly washed face or body for a few minutes. Finally, wash your face with cold water, and pat dry it.
Invigorating coffee scrubs
Coffee is another best natural exfoliant. Coffee contains caffeic acid that has inflammatory effects, and it can boost collagen production. We use coffee to stimulate our body, but it can serve as skin stimulation as well.
Ingredients
- One tablespoon of ground coffee
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
- Make a mixture of coffee and olive water.
- Apply it on the face while leaving it for 10 to 20 minutes, and rinse it off with warm water
- Avoid using the moisturizer afterwards because the oil will make your skin super-moisturized.
Sea salt DIY exfoliating scrubs
Salt contains antibacterial properties that can be beneficial for some skin conditions. Salt is also a preservative. Because of that, the sea salt scrub will be able to preserve itself naturally.
Using ground sea salt will be best instead of coarse sea salt because it can be too harsh on your skin. For sensitive skin, sea salt face scrubs may be too abrasive. Moreover, be careful if you have any cuts on your skin as the salt can sting.
Salt has no fragrance, so you can add your favourite essential oils to your DIY exfoliating salt scrub if you want to.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sea salt
- 1/2 cup oil of your choice
- essential oils (optional)
Directions
- Make a mixture of sea salt and oil in a mixing bowl.
- Mix properly and add more salt or oil to get the consistency right if needed.
- You can also add one or two drops of your favourite essential oil and stir it into the mixture.
- Once the consistency and fragrance of your scrub are satisfied, spoon it into a container.
