Exfoliation to the facial area should be done 3-4 times a week in my opinion. Doing it more can be a little harsh on it and may even dry it out. When exfoliating the face you could use store bought bottles or try something natural that isn't as harsh for you. There are many different ingredients to use from your kitchen to make these scrubs. You probably have most on hand or they can be easily purchased from your grocery store or health food store.
First Scrub (tried it many times and <3 it)
Brown Sugar and Olive Oil Scrub
1 teaspoon of brown sugar
1-2 teaspoons of olive oil
(If not enough you can always add a little more)
Mix together and rub gently in circular motions on face and neck avoiding eye area. (Being too hard could scratch or tear or skin)
Your skin will feel softer after the exfoliation! :)
Rinse face with warm water and a splash of cool water at the end to close your pores.
Kitchen Skincare is a blog dedicated to using products from your kitchen or that can be purchased from your grocery store, to enhance your skin. Americans spend billions every year on skincare with most of the items being expensive and not really working. With that being said who wouldn't want to try to use natural products that can be edible (at own discretion). :) I will be experimenting with different recipes while documenting the outcomes along with listing ones that I have already tried.
This is awesome! This will save me from buying lots and lots of products that have chemicals that are too strong like Pro Active for instance!
