One of the important facial cleansing procedures that is necessary for the skin to look well-groomed and healthy is scrubbing. Scrub – a cosmetic product containing, among other things, an exfoliating component that removes the top layer of skin, consisting of dead cells that interfere with its timely renewal.
You can make a facial scrub from natural products that are available in every home. In this case, you can be sure of their quality and origin. You can prepare the mixture in small quantities and, by trial and error, select exactly the composition that you like and suits best.
The three ingredients used to prepare the scrub in the recipe below are coffee, activated charcoal and honey. The combination may seem a little strange, but each of these products has a number of benefits and will help you achieve healthier, clearer skin.
Coffee, or rather the caffeine it contains, helps to activate blood circulation, make the skin more elastic, smooth out and reduce the number of wrinkles. To prepare scrubs, both freshly ground coffee and the grounds left over after preparing a hot drink are used.For this recipe, dry powder is used; it is more active.
Activated carbon like a sponge absorbs toxins, freeing the skin from them. The number of blackheads will decrease and skin inflammation will go away, as charcoal destroys bacteria and removes excess fat from the pores on the face.
Honey – soft base for scrub. It has an antibacterial effect and is a natural antioxidant, softening and healing, providing a rejuvenating effect. One of the purposes of using honey as part of a cosmetic product is to moisturize and nourish skin that is exposed to the mechanical action of a scrub.
All three products work as exfoliators, exfoliating dead cells and speeding up cell turnover.
Step 1: Ingredients
To prepare the scrub, take equal parts of ground coffee and honey and half of the activated carbon. That is, for 1 tablespoon of coffee and 1 tablespoon of honey you will need only 0.5 tablespoon of activated carbon. This amount of ingredients is enough for one procedure, and the scrub is very easy to prepare, and there is no point in immediately mixing it in large quantities.
To avoid skin injury, you should use very finely ground coffee without fillers or flavorings. Activated carbon tablets must be finely crushed. Honey is often the cause of allergic reactions; it is recommended to first do a test on the back of the hand and only then, if everything is in order, apply the mixture to the face.
- 1 part ground coffee
- 1 part honey
- 1/2 part activated carbon.
Step 2: Cooking
Place the prepared ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Step 3: Application
Wash your face with warm water to remove dirt and open pores.The scrub is applied only to damp skin. Spend a couple of minutes gently rubbing the scrub in circular motions all over your face, avoiding sensitive areas around your eyes and lips. It is also good to make massaging movements along the massage lines, from the center of the forehead to the temples, from the corners of the mouth to the ears. Use cool water to rinse off. This will help shrink pores and improve blood circulation. It is recommended to repeat the procedure no more than 2-3 times a week before bed or 2 hours before going outside. After removing the scrub, moisturizer should be applied to the face. It is necessary to carefully monitor the skin's reaction to the products used; redness and itching are signs that the composition of the scrub needs adjustment.
