The most important thing is not to overdo it with cosmetic procedures. Normal and oily skin will have enough 1-2 applications of the scrub per week. For dry skin, it is recommended to use it no more than once every ten days. For sensitive and problematic skin, the choice of such products and the frequency of use should be discussed with a dermatologist.
Before applying exfoliating and cleansing facial scrubs, it is important to properly prepare the skin. To do this, it is washed with warm water or herbal decoction. To open the pores of the skin as much as possible, it can be slightly steamed. Take a terry towel, soak it in moderately hot water and apply it to your face for a few seconds.
Since recipes for home facial scrubs include abrasive particles, rub them in with gentle massaging movements, avoiding the area around the eyes and lips, because the skin is especially delicate here. But in the area of the forehead, cheeks, tip of the nose and chin, the movements should be intense, since the largest number of dead cells is concentrated here. After a light massage, the scrub is left on the face for 5-10 minutes, then washed off with water or herbal infusion and dried with a towel. For additional effect, you can wipe your face with a lotion or a piece of ice. And then you need to apply the cream.
Oatmeal, ma’am!
Due to its properties, oatmeal facial scrub is a universal remedy. It deeply cleanses, moisturizes and tones the skin. Mix in a bowl a quarter of the mashed cucumber, 2 tablespoons of natural yogurt, 2 tablespoons of oat flakes, 1 teaspoon of almond oil. Rub the resulting mass into the skin, leave for 3-5 minutes, and then rinse with warm water. Oatmeal will make an excellent scrub for the face with problem skin. We take equal proportions of hercules flakes, almonds, lemon zest and grind them into small crumbs (the proportions depend on How long scrub you need). Then the necessary amount of scrub is diluted with warm water to a thick consistency, applied to the face and left for a few minutes.
More than a cup of coffee
Especially popular are facial scrubs made from finely ground coffee, dry or in the form of grounds. To get the maximum benefit, the grounds are best used within 30 minutes after making coffee. The simplest recipe is to mix in equal proportions the thick with fat sour cream. You will get an effective scrub for dry skin of the face. Get rid of inflammation and black spots will help another recipe. Mix 1 tsp of coffee grounds, sugar, cinnamon and honey, dilute the resulting mass with mineral water to the consistency of a thick paste. Gently rub the scrub into the skin and leave for a few minutes.
Transformation by soda
For the treatment of acne and other blemishes, face scrubs from soda help. Dilute in 1 tbsp. l. mineral water 2 tsp. soda and a pinch of salt. Gently massage the problem areas of the skin with a scrub for 1-2 minutes, remove the remnants with a damp cloth. On the basis of soda, you can prepare a scrub for oily skin. Mix 1 tablespoon of ground coffee, orange zest and cosmetic clay. Pour the mixture with steep boiling water and stir until the consistency of a thick paste. Pour in ¼ tsp baking soda and 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, mix thoroughly and rub into the skin. After 10-15 minutes, wash off the scrub with water.
Honey beauty
Homemade soft honey facial scrubs are suitable for all skin types. Honey-milk scrub perfectly moisturizes and nourishes the skin. To prepare it, mix 2 tsp. banana puree, 1 tsp. milk, 1 tsp. oat flakes and 1 tsp. honey. The resulting mixture is rubbed into the skin and left for 5-7 minutes. A honey and mint scrub has a restorative effect. Boil 2 tsp of dried mint leaves in 200 ml of boiling water. Preheat ½ tbsp. l. liquid honey, mix it with ½ tbsp. l. olive oil, 3 tbsp. l. sugar and 1 tsp. mint broth. Rub the scrub into the skin of the face, and after 5 minutes, wash it off with the remaining mint broth.

All kinds of facial scrubs made of salt are widely used in home cosmetology. A sea salt scrub mask will help to make the skin elastic and radiant. Mix 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 50 ml of lemon juice and ½ tsp of sea salt. Lightly rub the scrub into the skin and leave for 10 minutes. A beneficial effect is provided by a dry facial scrub. On the prepared and slightly moistened skin, we evenly apply sea salt crystals and massage with smooth circular movements. At the end, wash off the remnants with cool water and apply a moisturizer.
