5 natural facial scrubs you can do at home

If you don't exfoliate your skin, what are you waiting for? Exfoliation is one of the best cares you can incorporate into your daily beauty routine, especially to the face, because it is more exposed. And it is in charge of cleaning the pores, eliminating dead cells, unifying the tone and reducing fine lines.

Come on, a real wonder that will completely change the appearance of your skin if you do it regularly. Even more so if you do it with natural facial scrubs like the ones we present below.

The Best Homemade Facial Scrubs

There are a thousand and one types of scrubs, so you have to find the one that best suits your skin. To do this, you have to analyze it. It is fat? Or rather dry and ultra sensitive? Are you prone to acne or blackheads?

Once you have answers to these questions, you will know which of these natural facial scrubs is best for you. And don't worry, to make them you won't need unicorn blood or Kathmandu rose petals, they are all made from natural ingredients that you can find in any supermarket.

Homemade Facial Scrub with Coffee

Coffee is not only our brains' best friend every morning, it is also a great ally for your skin. And it is that it eliminates dead cells and activates blood circulation like no other.

You can make your scrub with coffee in many ways, although the most common is to mix six tablespoons of milk, six of cocoa powder and four of ground coffee. If you don't have cocoa powder you can also use honey and sugar, but this time a tablespoon of each of these ingredients will be enough.

This scrub is suitable for all skin types, since, you have it as you have it, dead cells will always appear.

Natural sugar and oil facial scrub

Sugar is one of the star components of all natural exfoliants since its texture is ideal to eliminate impurities and perform a deep cleaning of the face. Although you can mix it with many ingredients, we suggest you do it with olive oil, because this is an excellent moisturizer.

To do this, just mix 1 cup of granulated sugar (it does not matter if it is brown or white) and ⅓ cup of extra virgin olive oil. Once the mixture is made, just apply it to the face and leave it on for about 10-15 minutes.

Of course, if you have very sensitive skin, it is better that you opt for the oatmeal that we present below, since sugar can be abrasive for the most delicate skin.

Natural oatmeal and honey scrub

Oatmeal has a much smoother texture than sugar, but it is also an excellent exfoliator. Eliminates dead cells and evens the tone and gives radiance to the skin in the blink of an eye.

We suggest that you mix a couple of tablespoons of oatmeal with one of honey and let it act on your face for three minutes. Then rinse it off with plenty of cold water.

As you can see, it is one of the two easiest and fastest natural facial scrubs to do, so there are no excuses not to incorporate it into your daily facial routine.

Facial scrub with rice

Surely you have never seen rice more than as a culinary ingredient. But nothing is further from the truth, since it is rich in vitamin B, vitamin E and magnesium, and its properties soften the skin, soothe inflammations and prevent the signs of aging. In addition to removing impurities, of course.

To make your rice scrub, you will only need to crush half a cup of raw rice and mix it with three tablespoons of water and a few drops of coconut oil. And voila! You will have your scrub ready to use.

And if you want a bonus, cook some rice and reserve the cooking water, since rice water has incredible soothing properties that soothe skin lesions and even reduce blemishes. Use it every night as a facial toner and you will see how your face will be, in addition to being fresher, much brighter and rejuvenated.

Natural facial scrub with egg white

Egg white is one of the must-haves in the world of beauty. It is high in protein and B vitamins that help to care for, regenerate and beautify the skin.

This scrub that we present below is ideal for all skin types and will help to attenuate the signs of aging and give new life and luminosity to the skin.

To do this you will only need an egg white, a tablespoon of flour (better if it is wheat) and five tablespoons of honey. Mix the ingredients well and spread the resulting paste all over your face, emphasizing those areas where you have more wrinkles. Leave it on for 10 minutes and rinse it off with plenty of warm water.

If your skin is a bit dry and you need extra hydration, change the flour for olive oil.

For these natural scrubs to do at home to be really effective, apply them a couple of times a week (once every two weeks if you have very sensitive skin) after showering, as this will take advantage of the dilating effect of steam on your pores. 

Whichever you choose, you will notice a before and after on your skin. Guaranteed!
