Are you worried about your damaged skin? It’s time to exfoliate your skin to remove the impurities like blackheads, whiteheads, dead skin cells and get a smooth and fairer looking skin. Why pay on chemical based market scrubs when you can try these chemical-free homemade scrubs without damaging your skin texture.
Turmeric scrub
This is a mild scrub and mask. It removes sun tan, dark spots, acne and gives flawless skin. Whenever I want an instant glow, I usually prefer this scrub. Mix 1 tablespoon of rice powder, 2 tablespoons of gram powder, ½ teaspoon of turmeric and little milk to form a paste. Massage it on the face and neck for 3 minutes. After 20 minutes, rinse with water.
Almond scrub
It exfoliates and toxifies the skin. It is perfect for dry and normal skin. Soak 4-5 almonds in ¼ cup of warm milk overnight. Blend to form a semi smooth paste. Massage it on your skin for 2 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water.
Oatmeal scrub
Have you tried using oatmeal in your scrub? When I first heard about it, I was surprised and when I tried it, the results were really good. Grind 1 cup of oatmeal to small fine pieces. Mix it with 2 tablespoon of milk, egg white, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1 teaspoon sweet almond oil. Massage it on the face and neck. After sometime, rinse with lukewarm water.
Coffee or cocoa scrub
I am a coffee addict and when I heard about this scrub, I was so eager to try it. This is the best scrub that removes the dead skin layer. Mix half grinded coffee or cocoa powder, few drops of milk, honey and olive oil. Apply it on your face and neck. After 10 minutes, rinse it.
Brown sugar scrub
I would not recommend this scrub for sensitive skin as it can cause skin tear. It is a good exfoliator for the less sensitive skin. Mix 1 teaspoon olive oil or coconut oil, ½ cup of honey and ½ cup of brown sugar. Apply it on your skin in circular motion for 5-10 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water.

This is best for oily skin. Mix 2 teaspoons of ground oatmeal, 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of avocado. Blend it to form a thick paste. Massage on damped face. Rinse with warm water.
Banana and sugar scrub
Banana is great for scrubbing. I usually apply banana alone but when you add it with sugar, it works as a great scrub. Mash 1 ripe banana and blend it with ¼ cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup dark brown sugar to form a paste. Massage on the skin. After 15-20 minutes, rinse with warm water.
Orange juice and honey scrub
