You can make your face perfect without expensive cosmetics. You have everything you need in your kitchen.

Why and how to use face scrubs

Scrubs get rid of dead cells, deeply cleanse, moisturize and nourish the skin, improve the complexion. In order for funds, including homemade ones, to work this way, you need to follow simple rules:

1. Before the procedure, remove makeup and warm up the skin with a steam bath or a hot towel. This is necessary so that the pores open and it is easier for the scrub to cleanse the skin of impurities.
2. When applying, avoid the area around the eyes: the skin there is too thin and delicate to scrub.
3. Store ready-made homemade scrubs in the refrigerator in a sealed container for no more than a day.
4. It is recommended to scrub dry skin once every two weeks. Normal and combined - once a week. Fatty - every 3-4 days.

When you can't use scrubs

Scrubbing is quite harsh and can injure your skin. Therefore, you will have to refuse it if you have:

• very thin and sensitive skin;
• rosacea (a disease of the blood vessels);
• acne and open sores;
• dermatitis of any type.

1. Scrub from oatmeal and soda from blackheads

Soda pulls out dirt and grease from the pores and removes the notorious blackheads. Oatmeal gently exfoliates dead cells, leaving the skin soft and soft.

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons of oatmeal
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon boiling water.

Preparation and application

Grind the oatmeal in a coffee grinder. Dissolve baking soda in boiling water. Mix the baking soda solution and cereal in a bowl, cover and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Then mix the scrub thoroughly.

Apply the mixture to your face. Massage gently for 2-4 minutes. Pay special attention to problem areas: as a rule, these are the nose, upper cheeks, forehead and chin. After the massage, rinse off the remains of the scrub with cool water and moisturize the skin with cream.

2. Coffee scrub with yogurt for anti-grease

Coffee grounds cleanse the skin well, and natural yogurt will absorb excess fat. This is exactly what oily skin needs.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon of coffee grounds (you can take the one that remains from breakfast, or dilute the ground coffee with hot water);
• 1 tablespoon sugar-free natural yogurt.

Use yoghurts of medium fat content - from 2, 7 to 4, 5%. They have the optimal consistency for scrubs.

Preparation and application

Mix all the ingredients and apply the resulting mixture to the skin. Massage your face for 5 minutes and leave the scrub on the skin for another 5 minutes for more effect.

Rinse off the rest of the product with cool water. Yogurt nourishes and moisturizes the skin well, so it is not necessary to use a cream after such a scrub.

3. Semolina and strawberry scrub for super hydration

Semolina will gently remove dead cells. Ripe berries and rich sour cream will leave dry and chapped skin soft and velvety.

• 1 tablespoon sour cream with a fat content of at least 25%;
• 2 medium strawberries;
• 1 tablespoon semolina

Preparation and application

Mash the berries with a fork and combine them with sour cream. Add semolina and mix thoroughly.

Apply the scrub to your skin and massage your face for 5 minutes. Rinse off the product with cool water, moisturize the skin with cream.

Use this face scrub immediately after preparation, otherwise the semolina will soften and become useless.

4. Sugar mint scrub for deep cleansing

Sugar cleanses the skin, olive oil nourishes it, and mint refreshes it.

Ingredients

• 1 heaping tablespoon of sugar (white or brown - your choice);
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1-2 drops of peppermint essential oil.

Combine the oils together. Add them to the sugar and mix thoroughly.

Apply the scrub to the skin, massage for 5 minutes. Rinse off the rest of the product with cool water.

5. Rice and banana scrub for soft and fresh skin
