If you are particular about your skincare, you probably include a face scrub in your routine. Exfoliating your skin is as essential as cleaning and moisturizing the skin. Using a Face Scrub and exfoliating skin regularly clears dirt, impurities, and dead skin cells. Healthy skincare comprises multiple steps that also include scrubbing the face. Using Face Scrub unclogs pores on the skin and removes dead skin from the face.
This article lets you understand the benefits of a Face Scrub and how it should be included in your skincare routine.
Benefits of a Face Scrub
Extracts Dead Skin Cells
Dead skin is formed due to dirt and pollution. These make the skin dry and dull. The most prominent role of face scrub is the removal of dead skin cells from the face. When you scrub your face, it is exfoliated properly, and all the dry and dead skin cells come off.
Unclogs Pores
Exfoliating the skin using a face scrub unclogs the skin’s pores by removing whiteheads and blackheads. This opens up the skin for the other skincare products to easily penetrate the skin.
Reduces Acne Marks on the Skin
Using face scrub and exfoliating the skin also removes blemishes and acne scars. A gentle exfoliant can be used once or twice a week on acne-prone skin.
Smoothens Skin
Skin exfoliation using a Face Scrub every few days smoothens the skin and gives it a natural glow. Rubbing face scrub on your face in a circular motion removes dirt and impurities from the skin, thus improving its blood circulation.
Improves Skin Texture
Facial skin is soft, smooth, and very sensitive. As a result, it is more prone to dullness and damage than other skin parts. Exfoliation improves the skin’s texture, giving it a clean and clear look.
Homemade Facial Scrubs
Lemon-Honey Scrub
Mix a cup of sugar with one tablespoon of honey, lemon juice, and half a cup of olive oil. Spread the scrub to your face and let it dry for a few minutes. Then, wash off with cold water.
Oatmeal Scrub
Oatmeal works as an amazing skin exfoliator—mix two tablespoons of oatmeal with a tablespoon of raw milk and olive oil. Next, put a few drops of rose water and apply the paste on your face massaging it in a circular motion. Then, rinse it with cold water.
Coffee Face Scrub
Coffee has caffeine that helps a lot in the exfoliation of the skin. In addition to this, it also helps protect the skin from harmful UV rays. To make a coffee scrub:
- Take 2-3 teaspoons of coffee and mix it with half a cup of yogurt.
- Stir well till it becomes thick, and apply to your face and neck.
- Leave it on till it gets dry and then rinses with cold water.
To Sum Up
Skin exfoliation is a productive way to remove dead skin cells and improve skin texture. In addition, it helps unclog pores so that other skincare and makeup products can easily be applied to the face as it blends well.
