Natural facial scrub for normal or combination skin


You are lucky if you have a normal skin as it is rarely problematic and glows most of the time. A combination skin is characterized as normal and oily skin or, oily and dry skin. To exfoliate a combination skin, you might therefore need to consider using an easy to prepare natural scrub that will get the job done without irritating the skin and one that will moisturize at the same time. It is a delicate balancing act of exfoliating all areas of the face without harming the skin on some areas.

Ingredients
2 table spoons natural yoghurt (with live cultures)
2 table spoons ground or walnuts/oatmeal

Mix the ingredients in a container. You can use more of the ingredients but combining equal amounts of each ingredient will yield a thick perfect paste. Oatmeal softens when moistened hence will not irritate your skin. For a more active scrub, use walnuts. Apply on your moist face and rub it in circular motion to gently exfoliate. Wash it off with warm water and pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Tone and finally moisturize your face with argan oil to seal in moisture. As with any at home remedy, you might want to first test for skin sensitivity on a small patch of your skin before use. If skin sensitivity does not occur, continue use.
