One of the things recommended by cosmetologists to keep your skin looking young is periodic exfoliation. Using scrubs to mildly exfoliate the upper layer of the skin of dead cells works quite well to improve the texture of the skin. Dead skin buildup over a period of time often results in a patchy looking skin. Scrubbing will help to even out such skin discoloration, to some extent. Oily skin needs more scrubbing than other skin types. However, do not use harsh, abrasive ones and don’t scrub your skin too vigorously. Here are some excellent homemade facial scrub recipes for oily skins. A tired, sluggish face will brighten up instantly after using these. Carrot scrub
Ingredients:
Grated carrot – 2 tsp
Lime juice – 1 tsp
Honey – ½ tsp
Brewer’s yeast – 1 tsp
Almond oil – ½ tsp
Method:
Mix all the ingredients well and apply all over your face, leaving the under eye area and the area around the mouth and massage gently with your fingers in circular motions. Leave on for 7-10 minutes and wash off with cold water. Do not use this if you have acne/pimples. If your skin is extremely oily, skip using almond oil in the recipe.
Green gram (Moong dal) scrub
Ingredients:
1 tablespoons green gram powder
1 tablespoons besan (chickpea flour)
1 teaspoon sandalwood powder
Method:
Combine all the ingredients. Mix it with a little milk cream (malai)/olive oil/almond oil and gently scrub over your facial skin avoiding the area under the eyes. Leave it on for 7 minutes and wash off.

ReplyDeleteAvoid using scrubs with harsh exfoliating beads that may cause microscopic scars on the skin. Instead, use chemical exfoliants such as AHA (glycolic acid) and salicylic acid that are more gentle on the skin and exfoliates more uniformly.
ReplyDeleteDon't use scrubs daily it makes your skin dry.
ReplyDeleteHome made face packs with tomato and lemon takes out excess oil and black heads. If your skin is carrying pimples or rashes then don't use lemon.
A facial sounds wonderful…I hope it is delightful for you!

To make a good facial treament you need following ingredients;
ReplyDeleteMashed Mango 2 tablespoons
Rose Water 1 tablespoon
Honey 1/2 tablespoon
Oatmeal 2 tablespoon
1 Egg
These ingredients need to be blended well because of mango, otherwise it will remain lumpy. Apply to the face skin and neck in circular motions. Leave the mask on for 30 minutes, or until dry. Remove by simply rinsing face and neck with warm water, followed by a cold water rinse.
apply sugar syrup (sugar in water) if your skin is oily or else go for sugar in milk and wash it off after 20 min
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderul scrub. I do sometimes with sandalwood powder and rose water.
ReplyDeleteI love this!! I have bed skin... and this scrub really seems to help!!
ReplyDeleteNatural Scrub For Oily Skin
ReplyDelete1 part sea salt
1 part lemon juice
Mix into a paste and gently scrub face for 1 to 2 minutes. Rinse off. Interestingly, you would think this would be very drying to your skin, but I've found it actually leaves your skin feeling clean, refreshed, and soft. Use once a week to remove dead skin cells.
dissolve a teaspoon of baking yeast in a small amount of warm milk, wait until foamy, then apply to face.
ReplyDeleteOne teaspoon of potato juice and One teaspoon of multani mitti. Blend both the ingredients together and apply on the face. Leave it until it dries and wash off with lukewarm water.
ReplyDeleterubbing alcohol is the best i use it every morning and night!! :)
ReplyDeleteDon't over wash your face! It will cause your skin to produce even more oil. Apply a face cream while your skin is still a bit wet after you wash it. Don't use soaps with "fragrances" in them. Try a natural soap like Dr. Bronner's castile soap. Most soaps will strip your face of all the natural oils and dry them out more. You just want to clean off the dirt which water can do alone.
