Facial Scrubs

The purpose of a scrub is to clean and to remove the dead cells on your skin. This is done by putting the scrub on your clean fingertips and gently massaging your face, When you have done this for a minute or so, rinse with warm water. I use my scrub in the shower my pores are open from the steam, so I know I am getting my skin as clean as possible.

There are commercial scrubs available, many with chopped nuts in them. I also make my own using a one quarter cup of oatmeal mixed with a little water or yogurt. When I am done, I use my astringent and moisturizer, just as I do after a masque.

The nice thing about scrubs is that they can be used as often as you like on any type of skin (unless you have extremely sensitive skin). Try giving your hands the scrub treatment, finishing off with a hand cream.
