DIY: Exfoliating Scrubs

Lemon And Sugar
Mix lemon juice with sugar. Lemon has many anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-aging properties. It’s also loaded with vitamin C and contains enzymes that are thought to improve an oily complexion. Moreover, sugar helps draw moisture into the skin and the fine grains work to remove dead skin cells.

Honey And Oatmeal
Oats is  ideal for sensitive skin and are said to heal and soothe skin irritations. They also work as a natural polish and can be ground into a smooth paste or left flaky for a rougher mixture. Honey is a soothing product and helps keep the skin hydrated.

Coffee Ground And Olive Oil
This concoction is thought to reduce the effects of aging. Olive oil contains antioxidants that are believed to keep the skin soft and supple. Coffee is a natural polish and will help unblock pores. It’s also thought to be anti-bacterial and seems to work well on sensitive skin.

Ground Almond And Yogurt
A good exfoliating product should have a course texture as this will help remove dry skin and dead cells. Ground almond is a brilliant exfoliator that contains vitamin E which works to nourish and soften the skin. It can be used on most skin types and should leave you with a soft, non-greasy complexion. The lactic acid in milk is thought to get rid of dead skin cells and this, in turn, should help clear up blackheads, spots and acne.

Sea Salt And Water
Combine sea salt with water. Warm water helps to open your pores and the fine grains of salt will exfoliate your body. Combining salt with a sticky product such as honey is also effective, but if you just want a quick solution to better skin, sea salt and water is ideal.
