Hi ladies and gents (yes I say gents because men should practice good skin care as well). A part of good hygiene is great skin care. Today on the market there are so many products one can become dizzy! Terms such as anti-aging alone are enough to make a person crazy! LOL!
Today these products can become expensive! Facial cleansers and scrubs can start at $3 and go up to $300 dollars. So what do you do if you if you can’t afford these products?!
Do It Your Self Facial Scrubs work just as well.
Many people are doing this in the privacy of their own home and turning this into a business. Many people prefer natural products.
I myself for the past year use a homemade facial scrub and face cream that my co-worker makes. I love this because it helps me with the dryness around my eye area. I wear a lot of false eyelashes and the fibers sometimes cause flaking and dryness. Her product is great and has a skin-healing element so if a little discoloration occurs I don’t have a light patch in that area.

So here are the 10 top facial scrubs that are easy to do and get.
All of these items are in your refrigerator or local grocery store!
Basic Baking Soda Scrub
2 to 3 Tbsp. Baking soda
Small amount of water
Mix the ingredients into a paste.
Using a circular motion, apply to face and gently scrub.
Basic Cornmeal Scrub
Slightly more potent than the baking soda scrub, this works best on a 2 to 3 day interval.
2 to 3 Tbsp. Cornmeal
Small amount of water
Mix and apply in the same manner as baking soda scrub.
Rose Almond Face Scrub
To brighten and soften skin.
1 tsp rosewater
1/2 tsp almond flour or finely ground almonds.
Mix into paste and apply.
Oatmeal Scrub
A stimulating, thoroughly cleansing 3-in-1 scrub! Smooths, tones, and hydrates.
1 Tbsp. ground oatmeal (use steel cut oats, not instant)
1 tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. yogurt
Combine and apply.
Optional: let your scrub double as a mask! Let it sit a few minutes before scrubbing and rinsing.
Azuki Bean Scrub
Banish your blackheads. Especially effective for combination and oily skin types.
½ cup dried azuki beans
Grind beans. (Having a small coffee grinder set aside specifically for beauty recipes is a wise idea).
Add a little water to the mixture and apply.
Milk and Honey Scrub
Maximize or minimize its moisturizing effect at will.
Choose your dairy:
1 tsp Skim Milk (Oily skin)
1 tsp 2% Milk (Normal or combination)
1 tsp Cream (Dry)
1 tsp honey
1 tbsp ground almonds
Banana Scrub
A very finely textured, delicious-smelling scrub. Can double as a mask.
2 tsp mashed banana
2 tsp rolled oats
1 tsp milk
1 tsp honey
Honey Sugar Scrub
If you have ever used a body sugar scrub, you know how amazing they are. Work the same magic on your face!
1 tsp. of honey
1/2 tsp. of sugar (either cane or brown — both work well)
Blend in bowl. Apply.
Rinse very thoroughly, as this recipe can be slightly sticky.
Pumpkin, Sugar, and Spice Scrub
1/2 cup cooked or canned pumpkin, pureed
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Blend in a bowl. Apply mixture to face (and body, if you really want to indulge yourself).
“Eat Your Greens” Facial Scrub
2 tsp organic wheat bran
2 tbsp organic oatmeal
2 tbsp olive oil soap, finely shredded
1 tsp dried parsley
1 part dried lettuce
Shave your favorite plant oil-based soap.
Grind parsley and lettuce with pestle in mortar. (We have tried this – you can also blend it in a processor).
Add soap shavings and mix thoroughly.
Whisk in the oatmeal and wheat brand and continue stirring until thoroughly mixed.
My favorite scrub is Honey Sugar Scrub. Try one of these scrubs and send me your testimony to thecolorbox69@gmail.com and we will pick the best story! The winner will receive 15.00 in make up products from The Color Box By Maria.
Good Luck and Happy scrubbing!
