Beauty products available in the market cost us girls a fortune and the ingredients aren’t natural as well. Say bye-bye to those nasty chemicals and try these DIY homemade inexpensive facial scrubs to get a healthy and beautiful skin.

Some Scrubbing Tips:

  1. Wash your face properly. Take one tablespoon scrub and gently massage all over your face and neck avoiding the under-eye area.
  2. Don’t apply too much pressure and do not keep scrubbing for more than two minutes.
  3. Scrub a little harder on the T-zone area of face.
  4. Apply alcohol-free toner or rose water — take some in a cotton ball and then dab on your freshly scrubbed face.
  5. If you have extra, store it in an air tight container in the fridge. Make sure you use it within 3 days.
  6. Like with any other face scrub, only use it 1 – 2 times a week.

Homemade Scrubs are really easy to prepare and give your skin a happy treatment. You can prepare your own kind of scrubs by improvising and the ingredients that are best for you. Although, If you have active acne then you must not use a scrub on your face as it may aggravate your skin problem.

STAY BEAUTIFUL!
