Homemade Facial Scrub Recipes

Homemade face scrubs can be just as effective as store bought scrubs without the use of potentially toxic chemicals.

When opting for homemade facial scrubs, correct application of the scrub is just as important as ingredient selection.

Facial skin is extremely delicate, and requires special care when applying homemade facial scrub recipes. Since your middle and ring fingers are the weakest, it is best to use these to scrub in gentle upward motions avoiding the delicate areas around the eyes and mouth.

Use the following facial scrub recipes 1-2 times per week for softer skin and a brighter complexion.
