Mixing up your own recipes for rejuvenating facial scrubs can be as endless as the ingredients in your cupboards and refrigerator. Best of all it is an easy, fun and relaxing way to pamper yourself and give your skin an effective anti-aging treatment all at the same time!
Exfoliation, whether by a mechanical means such as a scrub or a chemical means when using an AHA or BHA, helps to remove old, dead skin cells as well as to encourage the growth of new skin cells while stimulating the production of collagen.
Many of rejuvenating recipes for natural skin care scrubs include both a mechanical exfoliant ingredient such as salt or sugar as well as a chemical exfoliant like juice from a citrus product.
Both types of exfoliating ingredients work in concert to remove the dead cells that collect on the surface of the skin.
Natural ingredients, many of which have rather powerful anti-aging properties, for
making a variety of your own skin care scrubs
are quite plentiful right in your kitchen.
A DIY homemade natural exfoliating scrub can be (and should be!) used daily as part of your overall antiaging skin care routine.
The skin benefits
significantly from exfoliation
by becoming softer and more subtle. Exfoliation
helps to
diminish fine lines and wrinkles, firming sagging skin, and
contributes to evening out a mottled skin tone.
These are some of the favorite anti-aging skin care recipes
so get out your favorite mixing bowl and whip up a skin rejuvenating
facial scrub!
