5 Easy Homemade Scrubs for Glowing Skins

Easy homemade scrubs for gorgeous skin, Avoid trips to the parlour and try these scrubs at home for better,

Though exfoliation should be an integral part of your skincare regime, this process of scrubbing can do more harm than good if overdone, say specialists. Dermatologist Apratim Goel says, “If you have active acne or are suffering from rosacea then you must not use a scrub on your face as it may aggravate your skin problem.” Apart from that, one must use a pore minimiser after scrubbing, advises cosmetolgist Soma Sarkar. “Use an alcohol-free toner or rose water – take some in a cotton ball and then dab on your freshly scrubbed face,” says Soma. Every scrub needs some minute granules and in homemade ones, ground sugar can be used. Aesthetician Ritu K Tanwar shares some scrub recipes that can be made at home.

HONEY-ORANGE SCRUB
Combine orange peel powder and oats in equal amounts (two tablespoons each) and mix one tablespoon of honey. Adjust the consistency to a thick paste,with a little water. Apply on clean skin using very mild upward and small circular strokes. Let it sit on the face for a couple of minutes and then rinse. Pat dry, tone and moisture well.

BANANA SCRUB
Take two ripe bananas, mash and add ground sugar. For hydration and moisture, add one tablespoon of honey. Gently massage this mildly fragrant pulp on your face for five minutes, then wash it off with cool water.

CURD AND PAPAYA SCRUB
Mix half-a-cup of ripe mashed papaya with two tablespoons of hung curd, three drops of lemon juice and one tablespoon of honey. Massage this homemade facial scrub into your skin using gentle circular motions. Leave it on for five minutes and then rinse thoroughly with cool water.

GROUND OATS AND TOMATO SCRUB

Take a plate of ground oats and powdered sugar. Slice red and ripe tomatoes. Dip two thick slices of tomatoes into the ground oats and sugar mixture. Rub your skin gently with this using circular motions. Once your entire face and neck are scrubbed, take some more tomato slices and let it sit on your face for a while. Tomatoes have natural bleaching agents which reduces face tanning.

LEMON SCRUB

Take one lime and slice it into half. Hold both the halves in your hands and dip into powdered sugar. Then scrub your hands and feet for five minutes with this. Never use this on your face as this may harm sensitive facial skin to a great extent.

Leave it on your hands and feet for around five minutes and wash with lukewarm water to reveal smooth skin.(Craze)
