The beauty of a woman’s skin most often depends on her care. Of course, there are lucky women who begin to take care of themselves only after thirty, having found a couple of wrinkles in the corners of their eyes, but, alas, the average woman should think about taking care of her skin much earlier. Creams and masks solve problems with moisturizing and smoothing potential wrinkles, but without exfoliating dead particles the effect will be incomplete. After all, youth is renewal.
Any, even the most effective, cream improves the tone of the skin of the face, whitens and moisturizes it, but does not remove keratinized unnecessary particles. What is the way out of this situation? Peeling! It can be of several types – mechanical or chemical. It is up to you to decide which one you’d prefer, but in this article we will take a closer look at home peeling, because a good face scrub is very easy to prepare yourself.
Of course, now on any product components are indicated, but usually among several plant names there are a dozen long Latin names, each of which should be driven into a search engine line and carefully study what effect such components can have on an organism. But very few people might like such a prospect!

Facial scrubs. What it is?
A scrub is a cosmetic product consisting of a soft, caring base and an abrasive component. The latter can be ground coffee, salt, crushed bones or carefully crushed nut shells and more. Cosmetic clay or neutral gel can be used as a base.
What’s the point in using scrubs? The fact is that this tool removes keratinized particles from the skin and starts metabolic processes, due to which your skin looks young and healthy.
Of course, one must take into account that face scrubs should be much softer than body scrubs. Otherwise, the effect may be unpredictable. As mentioned above, a good scrub is one that you make yourself. In this case, you can adjust the degree of grinding of abrasive particles, focusing on the condition of your skin – this way you will minimize the damage to the skin.
Before using any of the recipes below, make sure you are not allergic to the intended ingredients. To test the ingredient, apply a small amount to the inside of the elbow and leave it on for a while. If you have the slightest signs of irritation or redness, choose another recipe that does not contain a substance that you are allergic to. Do not risk your beauty and health in vain!
Like any cosmetic procedure, peeling is very rarely universal: you need to choose a composition for your skin type. In addition, you should understand that the slightest violations of the skin (wounds, irritations, etc.) are a contraindication for the procedure.
The best way to use scrubs is in the evening, because after this procedure the skin needs to rest and recover, which is easier at night. In addition, after peeling, it is not recommended to go out in the sun for at least some time in order to protect cleansed skin from damage and burns.

How to cleanse oily skin
Unfortunately, oily skin is considered the most problematic by cosmetologists. In summer, troubles become most obvious: blackheads, enlarged pores, an unpleasant oily shining… A properly picked up scrub helps to solve some of these problems. We share with you the recipes for the most effective formulas for cleansing oily skin:
From yogurt and yeast

Strawberry and salt
Ingredients: three teaspoons of fine salt, three softened medium strawberries, fresh or
even frozen, two tablespoons of any vegetable oil you like (olive, sunflower, sesame). Mix the ingredients, then apply the mixture to your face with gentle circular movements. Massage for a few minutes and leave the mixture to dry slightly. Wash off with not too warm water.
With yoghurt, rice and rolled oats

Regular exfoliation of oily skin will bring an effect that is difficult to imagine. Firstly, the amount of inflammation and rashes will decrease, and secondly, the oily sheen will significantly decrease. The main thing is you shouldn’t relax and have to continue performing the procedures without stopping as soon as the first results appear.
How to cleanse dry skin
Dry skin is just as troublesome as oily skin. But in this case you have completely different problems. Unfortunately, those who have this type of skin become older earlier than others, unless they start caring for themselves at a young age. The basic principle of dry skin care is to give it as much moisture as possible. For this, a variety of agents are used that retain water in the cells of the epidermis.
Owners of dry skin should not wash more than twice a day, and it is advisable to use a special cleansing milk. Scrubs should not be ignored, they are very important for dry skin, however, you should not do this procedure more than one or two (this is maximum!) times a week. Here are the best scrub recipes for you:
Banana, honey and sugar
Ingredients: three large tablespoons of fine sugar, a ripe banana, a small spoonful of honey, a quarter of a small spoonful of vanilla extract. Mash the banana, add the remaining ingredients, apply to the skin and massage for a few minutes. The main difficulty with this recipe is to resist the temptation to eat the resulting peeling mass. Double serve just in case!
Milk, cottage cheese and orange-lemon peels
Ingredients: a small spoonful of dried orange and lemon peels, pre-chopped, twice as much cottage cheese, a few drops of milk. Mix the ingredients thoroughly, rub in on slightly damp skin, and massage thoroughly. Wash off with warm water.
Made from honey, egg and chopped almonds
Ingredients: thoroughly chopped almonds in the amount of one tablespoon, the same amount of honey and a chicken egg. Mix and gently apply the mixture to your face in a circular motion, leave it for five minutes and then rinse thoroughly.
Mint, brown sugar and ginger powder
Ingredients: brown sugar (two tablespoons), a tablespoon of quality olive oil and the same amount of honey, a little chopped mint and powdered ginger. Mix, then, massaging your face, apply the mixture, leave it for a while and wash it off with warm water.
Grapes and rolled oats

Sour cream and sea salt
Ingredients: a teaspoon of sour cream and sea salt. Mix the ingredients, apply the mixture and massage. This simple facial scrub works well against flaking. If you do not have sour cream, it is permissible to use vegetable oils or cream.
The main thing in caring for dry skin is not to overdo. This is especially true for scrubs: as practice shows, it is quite easy to damage the surface of dry skin with excessive peeling. However, if you do everything carefully, the result will please you.
How to cleanse combination skin
Another problem skin type. It is a combination of dry skin on the temples and
cheeks and oily on the so-called T-zone. The main problem in this case is the need to combine two types of skin care products. The good news is that combination skin types can change to normal as we get older. Scrubs for this type should be delicate and free from alkalis. You can use them no more than three times a week. You can make such compositions:
Bread crumb, milk and baking soda
Ingredients: crumb of black or gray bread, two tablespoons of fermented milk, two teaspoons of soda. Pour milk over the crumb, add baking soda and mix thoroughly. Having prepared the scrub, apply it to the face moistened with water and massage the skin very gently. This is the most effective facial scrub for combination skin. It moisturizes dry areas and deeply cleanses oily areas. It should be used twice a week. This composition is enough for deep cleansing and gives really amazing results.
Strawberry, honey and almond oil
Ingredients: a large spoonful of softened strawberries, a tablespoon of honey and the same amount of almond oil. Mix well, apply to face and massage gently for a few minutes. Then wash off with warm water.
Orange peels and yogurt
Ingredients: a large spoonful of ground orange peels, the same amount of unsweetened natural yogurt. Mix, apply the composition to the skin. Massage for five minutes, paying special attention to the T-zone. Wash off.
Cottage cheese, rice flour and sugar
Ingredients: a tablespoon of cottage cheese and finely ground rice flour, half a tablespoon of oil (vegetable) and the same amount of sugar. Mix, spread the mixture over the face and massage for some minutes. This composition is great for winter care of mixed skin, as the oily components protect the skin.
Butter, walnuts and quail eggs
Ingredients: two spoons (large) of ground walnuts, two small spoons of butter, two yolks of boiled quail eggs. Melt the butter, mix with the rest of the ingredients, apply to the face, massage very gently and leave for ten minutes. Wash yourself abundantly.
Rolled oats, milk powder and mint
Ingredients: one and a half of tablespoons of rolled oats, a large spoonful of milk powder and mint. Grind flakes with mint in a coffee grinder, add powdered milk, dilute with a little water, apply to the skin surface, massage for a few minutes, rinse. This toning facial scrub can be used in the morning and is very gentle.
Taking proper care of your mixed skin will eliminate possible problems and make your life easier. No matter how difficult the task may seem, find a little patience and your face will thank you with an even color and elasticity.
How to cleanse normal facial skin
This is a rare and practically problem-free skin type, which is most often found in young people (although it happens that combination skin, as we have already mentioned, turns into normal skin by adulthood). If you are lucky enough to have this particular type of skin, remember to nourish it. The best news: on this kind of skin, the first serious wrinkles appear only after thirty-five.
The most serious mistake made by many owners of normal skin is too much care. This is unacceptable, because it spoils healthy normal skin, makes it more capricious. In fact, this type of skin requires careful cleansing and gentle grooming. And, of course, periodic exfoliation. However, you shouldn’t use even the best (as you might think) scrubs more than once a week. And here are the formulations of scrubs that are right for you:
Orange peels, rolled oats and cream
Ingredients: two large spoons of crushed orange peels, the same amount of ground rolled oats and chilled cream. Mix the ingredients so that you get a gruel, apply onto the face and leave to dry. Wash off the cleansing compound with cool but skin-friendly water, then apply a light cream.
Rolled oats and almond butter
Ingredients: a large spoonful of ground rolled oats, a small spoonful of almond oil. Mix, apply for twenty minutes, massage a little. Rinse thoroughly.
Milk, ground barley and lemon juice
Ingredients: a teaspoon of milk and ground barley, two teaspoons of lemon juice. Mix until smooth and apply the mass onto the face, leave for ten minutes. Massage well, wash abundantly.
Brown sugar and vegetable oil
Ingredients: a teaspoon of brown sugar and any vegetable oil. Mix, massage for some minutes, wash your face with cold water.
With proper use of these scrubs, normal skin will acquire a soft matte color and will delight you with its freshness for a long time.
Which of the proposed recipes to choose, of course, is up to you. However, first of all, do not forget to determine the correct type of your skin, otherwise the best and most effective face scrubs will not bring the expected results.
