If you have an oily skin, it is
recommended you exfoliate one to two times a week with a non abrasive facial
scrub. You might want to opt for a home made natural gentle scrub that will not
irritate or strip away the excess oils. Stripping away the excess oils may create a
bigger problem as the sebaceous glands instinctively replenish the lost oils
and the skin becomes very sensitive. It is also important to avoid exfoliating
your skin when you have a break out to avoid spreading it further.
What you need
1 table spoon skimmed milk
1 table spoon honey
1 table spoon ground almonds/oatmeal
1 table spoon honey
1 table spoon ground almonds/oatmeal
Mix the ingredients in a container.
The skimmed milk minimizes the scrubs moisturizing effect as it has low fat
content. Oatmeal softens when moistened hence will not irritate your skin. Apply
on your moist face and gently rub it in circular motion to exfoliate. Wash it
off with warm water and pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Tone and
moisturize your face with a light moisturizer of your choice to seal in
moisture. You could opt for organic argan oil; it works for all skin types. This facial scrub can also work for any other
type of skin. For dry skin, use cream, for normal or combination skin, use
whole milk.
Tip: As with any at home remedy,
you might want to first test the butter for skin sensitivity on a small patch
of your skin before use. If skin sensitivity does not occur, continue use.
