easy to glow from homemade scrubs

Tired of that dull looking skin in spite of trying your best? Missing the glow your face once dazzled with? Well, it’s time you stop looking for temporary solutions and scrape off the root cause of all the gloominess…literally! Your beautiful charms and fresh radiance are trapped below a stubborn layer of dead and dried skin cells. Until you cast off this unwanted layer, your skin will not relive its supple charms. Wondering how you can do that? Well, the answer is exfoliation with a homemade face scrub!

Scrubbing the skin gently not only scrapes off the dead skin but also pulls out the settled impurities, blackheads and even tanning. Wait now, don’t rush to the supermarket yet! We say chuck those over-the-counter scrubs that come loaded with chemicals/allergens and go natural. Here is our collection of best homemade face scrubs for a glowing skin. You will be surprised to see just how magical your kitchen can be.

Note: Do not exfoliate if your skin has active acne as exfoliation can pop them up. Also, do not exfoliate with a face scrub if you have skin conditions like burns or blisters.

Coconut oil, lemon juice & baking soda

Combine 3 Tbsp. of softened (not melted) coconut oil with 1 tsp. of fresh lemon juice and 1 Tbsp. of baking soda. Apply to face with clean hands and leave on for one minute before gently washing off with a warm cloth.

Honey, apple cider vinegar & sea salt

Combine 3 Tbsp. of raw honey with 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar and 1 Tbsp. of sea salt (not iodized salt). Apply to face with clean hands and leave on for one minute before gently washing off with a warm cloth.

Rice Flour Yogurt Scrub

Mix rice flour with plain fat free yogurt and scrub your face gently in upward circular movements.

Orange peel yogurt facial scrub

Orange peel powder is readily available in the market which you can buy and use. If you cannot get orange peel powder, you can dry orange peels in the sun, powder it finely and store it in an air tight container. Take a tbsp of orange peel powder, mix it with a tsp of plain fat free yogurt and make a paste. Add water if needed to adjust the consistency. Use it as a face scrub.

Almond scrub

Almond flour with a tbsp of milk makes a good scrub. Alternatively you can soak 5-6 almonds for 4-5 hours, remove the skin and grind it to a fine paste with milk. After scrubbing for 5-6 minutes, leave it on the face to dry, then rinse off with warm water. Persons with oily skin can replace milk with rose water.
