Almost every woman uses a scrub to cleanse the skin and exfoliate dead cells. Without regular peeling, the skin fades, peels, pores clog, acne appears. The use of expensive creams and emulsions in this case does not make sense, since the active substances do not penetrate the skin. The scrub contains grinding particles, detergents, nutrients and moisturizing additives that have a complex effect on the skin.
Modern cosmetology offers many scrubs: clay-based scrubs are suitable for oily and combination skin , delicate cream-based products are ideal for sensitive or dry skin, and gel-like scrubs are suitable for all types. But such scrubs often cause even more peeling and dry the skin.
Increasingly, women independently make face scrubs: coffee, oatmeal, rice, salt - they are based on only natural products, without fragrances and the addition of chemical components. Very popular is a face scrub made of coffee, which not only tones and gently cleanses the skin, but also gives it a delicious aroma and a light golden tan.
It’s easy to make a homemade facial scrub, the main thing is to determine the type of skin and choose the basis with which you will mix coffee: honey - evens out skin tone and serves as an antiseptic, oil - moisturizes and smoothes fine wrinkles, yogurt or sour cream - brightens redness, gives the skin a healthy glow and freshness.

You can use the scrub a couple of times a week: put on the face and neckline, gently massage for one minute and leave the scrub on your face for 7-8 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Additionally, you do not need to nourish the skin with cream, olive oil perfectly moisturizes. Instead of olive oil, you can use grape seed oil.
