Effective facial scrubs. Facial scrubs at home - the best recipes

Scrub is a cosmetic product with an exfoliating (abrasive) effect. Designed to remove dead cells from the surface of the skin and promote its natural renewal.

“With age, the natural renewal of the skin slows down, dead cells partially accumulate on its surface and make it visually duller. Sebum often mixes with them, clogging the excretory ducts of the sebaceous glands and forming comedones. To keep your skin fresh and radiant, you need to periodically cleanse it of dead particles.”

Scrubs and other abrasive exfoliants contain tiny solid particles (ground apricot kernel shells, pumice, polyethylene granules), which allow for superficial mechanical peeling.

For tender and sensitive skin It is better to choose a delicate cream-scrub for your face.

Its differences from other means:

  1. 1

    creamy texture;

  2. 2

    small size of scrubbing particles, eliminating the possibility of microdamage to the skin.

Basic properties

The simplest and most popular method of exfoliation is the use of a scrub cream. It can not only remove dead cells and impurities from the skin surface. Its functionality is often much broader.

This wonderful cream-scrub, made on the basis of nourishing oils, is perfect for caring for dry and normal skin, especially in the autumn-winter period!

For a particularly gentle scrubbing effect, I chose ground apricot kernels. A scrub based on apricot kernels improves blood circulation, effectively removes dead skin cells of the stratum corneum and helps enhance the effect of cosmetics applied after its use. And the magical transformation of the scrub into the most delicate cream will not leave anyone indifferent!

Cocoa butter - 25g.
Shea (karite) or mango butter - 10g.
Coconut oil - 20g.
Sweet almond oil – 10g.
Grapeseed oil - 15g.
Emulsion wax (Polavax) - 20g.
Ground apricot kernels - 2 tsp.
Ylang-ylang essential oil 3-5 drops.
Grapefruit EO - 5-7 drops.

1. Weigh the cocoa butter along with the emulsifier and melt them in a water bath. Add the remaining oils after the emulsifier melts. This way the cooking process takes much less time.


2. When all the oils have melted, remove them from the water bath and place them in a bowl of cold water (you can add a few ice cubes to it. Stir constantly. First with a spoon, then, when it starts to thicken, you can take a mini whisk. It will beat the oils a little and the structure the scrub will be more airy.


3. When our cream scrub has cooled, add it to it essential oils and ground apricot kernels. Mix thoroughly. The result is a medium fluid structure, which will thicken within 1-2 days.


This cream-scrub perfectly removes dead cells of the stratum corneum of the skin, and also copes with cleansing the skin, since it is essentially hydrophilic oil, and with her nutrition. (

The cream scrub should be applied to a damp face, only then will it miraculously transform into a cream! Then massage a little, avoiding the area around the eyes and rinse. The scrub will give you an extraordinary feeling of renewal, and the cream will immediately nourish the renewed skin.

Pamper yourself by making such a wonderful cream scrub and your skin will thank you with extraordinary tenderness and radiance!

Beautiful and well-groomed skin face - this is labor-intensive and regular work, including the use of cosmetics, proper nutrition And healthy image life. An exfoliating facial scrub will be an excellent assistant in cleansing procedures, getting rid of dead cells and opening pores. For quality cosmetic procedures It is not at all necessary to visit expensive beauty salons. Prepare effective remedy can be done at home using natural ingredients.

Scrub (exfoliation) is one of the components of a whole complex of facial skin care procedures. Cleansing the upper layers of the epidermis allows the pores to get rid of accumulated impurities. Every day, dust, dead epithelial particles, and sebaceous secretions collect on the face. Mixed into one whole, it all gets clogged deep into the pores and causes a lot of troubles in the form of inflammation, acne, and peeling.

The scrub must include exfoliants in the form of abrasive particles. They are the ones who exfoliate skin keratinized cells, releasing new healthy epithelium. In addition, thanks to them, a light facial massage is performed, which allows you to tighten the skin and correct the oval.

Homemade remedies are in many ways superior to store-bought ones. Firstly, you can choose the components that suit your skin type. Secondly, their cost is several times less. Thirdly, the natural composition not only fights external imperfections, but also saturates the inner layers of the dermis with benefits. You can also control the volume of the product.

In addition to many advantages, prepared scrubs also have some disadvantages:

  • it takes time to prepare;
  • heterogeneous consistency;
  • some products may cause allergies;
  • lack of perfumed aroma, like a purchased product.

If you do not pay attention to these minor drawbacks, then it is better to give preference to home remedies.

Indications for use

If the reflection in the mirror leaves much to be desired, dead scales are visible on the face, blackheads have appeared, and wrinkles are visible in the corners of the eyes, then it’s time to resort to a scrub.

Deep cleansing is beneficial for any skin type, with the only difference being that oily and combination skin requires procedures a little more often than normal or dry skin. Regular use of an exfoliating facial scrub at home will help solve the following problems:

  • cleanse your face of dead cells;
  • normalize blood circulation;
  • nourish the skin with beneficial substances and microelements;
  • even out complexion;
  • get rid of blackheads;
  • smooth out small wrinkles.

Before you start cooking cosmetic product, you need to decide on your skin type and do an allergy test to avoid side effects.

Rules for using exfoliating scrubs

Mechanical cleaning products are prepared and used depending on the skin type. Oily and combination skin requires deep cleansing, so the scrub must contain large abrasive particles. Dry skin should not be subjected to strong exposure. Components are selected for it that carefully exfoliate dead epithelium. Normal dermis is less demanding, but also requires cleaning. Soft scrubs will help keep it in good condition without disturbing the natural renewal processes.

Prepared homemade cosmetics come in the form of gel, cream or dry. Essential and refined oils, clay, and vitamins can be used as auxiliary ingredients.

In addition to selecting ingredients based on your skin type, you should follow some recommendations for using scrubs to exfoliate dead particles from the face:

  • The optimal time for the procedure is the evening before bedtime. Overnight, the clean dermis will be saturated with oxygen, and the next morning it will look fresh and rested;
  • Before scrubbing, the face is cleansed of makeup residues and daytime impurities;
  • to achieve the best result, the skin can be slightly steamed with a hot compress or over the right sauna;
  • after the procedure, leave the product on the face for 10-15 minutes, so the nutritional components will penetrate the skin and saturate it with benefits;
  • apply the product with light movements massage lines;
  • wash off the composition with cool or slightly warm water, preferably purified, and wipe with lotion. Afterwards apply moisturizer;
  • The scrub should contain only fresh products.

Even if you really want to, you should not use scrubs more often than your skin condition requires. Exceeding the number of procedures will cause harm to the epidermis that has not had time to recover. Dry skin can be cleansed once every two weeks, oily and normal skin can be cleaned once or twice a week, and problem skin can be cleaned 2-3 times a week.

Often, using salt scrubs for the body and admiring the smoothness and tenderness of the skin afterwards, I thought why they didn’t come up with something similar for the face, why ground bones are usually used in face scrubs, because the result from salt will be at least not worse. I recently learned that a Russian company natural cosmetics ChocoLatte produces cream-scrubs for the face "Nougat" based sea ​​salt, natural clay, oat and rice flour, and realized that this is exactly what I dreamed of.

There are a total of 6 cream scrubs in the line:

Blue nougat - for all skin types

Green nougat - for problem skin

Mint nougat - for oily skin

Pink nougat - for aging skin

Creamy nougat - for dry skin

Chocolate nougat - for all skin types

I chose a facial scrub cream for myself "Blue nougat" for all skin types.



Price - 200 rub. for 140 g of cream scrub.

Place of purchase - online store tidam.ru.

Package - a convenient plastic jar with a screw-on lid and a protective membrane, also made of plastic.

Consistency - very thick, dense, homogeneous with noticeable salt particles. The grains of salt are small, without sharp edges, in an amount sufficient to effectively exfoliate the skin.





Smell - specific, a little harsh, marine. To be honest, I’m not delighted with it; it reminds me of men’s cosmetics. At the same time, the aroma is quite persistent and can be felt for several hours after using the scrub.

Application

On felt and damp skin I apply required amount scrub and massage my face for 1-2 minutes, then rinse. The scrub is quite rough and hard, but on my oily/combination skin it does not cause any discomfort in the form of tingling or burning.

I would also like to note that, despite the presence of blue clay in the composition of the product, this is not a scrub-mask, but just a scrub and keeping it on the face for more than the specified time, I think, does not make sense, and there is no desire for this. But after that you can apply a cosmetic mask to your face.

Result

The cream scrub perfectly cleanses, exfoliates, polishes the skin, and lightens blackheads. Leaves skin smooth, soft, soft, silky and incredibly pleasant to the touch. The same long-awaited result as from salt body scrubs, but only on the face.

I was afraid that the cream scrub would leave a greasy film on the skin due to the oils in the composition, but my fears were not confirmed. However, on the other hand, the amount of oils is enough not to dry out or tighten the skin, but, on the contrary, to create the effect of nourished skin.

So, "Blue Nougat" from ChocoLatte is a fairly harsh scrub, not only distinguished by its cleansing and exfoliating properties, but also makes the skin incredibly soft and nourished. It fits perfectly into my oily skin care routine, but it hasn’t become a must-have, since there are scrubs that are more effective in terms of deep cleansing and more pleasant to use. So, my favorite is still the Cora Triple Action Polishing Scrub.

Hello, dear girls!

I really love face masks from a Russian brand Planeta Organica , but having accidentally mixed up the jars, I bought not a mask, but a scrub. But I never regretted it!

The mask is in a plastic puck jar, volume - 100 ml. Shelf life from the date of opening - 12 months.

I'm not good with ingredients, but the manufacturer claims that it is 100% natural. Let's leave it up to him.

The scrub has a very pleasant, soft consistency. Indeed, very similar to cream. The scrubbing particles are quite large, but not as hard as they might seem at first glance.

A very small amount of product is needed for scrubbing, so consumption is minimal.


The scrub cleanses the skin very well and also polishes perfectly. It feels incredibly smooth and even after washing, and my complexion also becomes a little more even.


The scrub has a very pleasant aroma of orange and cinnamon, very invigorating and warming.

I guess, that Planeta Organica Face Cream-Scrub Not suitable for very sensitive skin - it needs more gentle scrubs. But it’s perfect for all other types!

Price ~ 150-200 rubles

Thanks for stopping by! Be beautiful and happy shopping! :)

Can oily and combination skin shine with purity and freshness? Certainly! After all, the Femegyl skin radiance scrub not only perfectly cleanses and tightens enlarged pores, but also mattifies, giving the skin a radiant, healthy look. Indeed, a SOFT cleansing!

HELLO!

I recently became acquainted with a cosmetics brand Femegyl, but I’ve already formed my own opinion about her. In my previous review, I told you about an excellent moisturizer for mature skin. This is an eye cream Femegyl Moisturizing.

Meet me: SKIN RADIANCE CREAM SCRUB Femegyl.

DESCRIPTION:

Gently removes the keratinized layer of the epidermis without damaging the water-lipid mantle, has a pronounced detoxifying effect, and activates blood circulation. Improves complexion and reduces the depth of wrinkles. No parabens.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:

licorice extract, potassium glycyrrhizate, calcium glycerophosphate, argan oil, kelp microelements

MODE OF APPLICATION:

Apply to cleansed, damp skin of the face, neck and décolleté. For sensitive and dry skin – leave for 3-5 minutes, then rinse with water. For oily and combination skin– work on problem areas with massage movements, leave for 3 minutes, then rinse with water. It is recommended to use 1-2 times a week.

COMPOUND:

Deionized Water, Dicalcium Phosphate Dihydrate, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Glycerin, Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract, Laminaria Saccharina Salt, Xanthan Gum, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Polysorbate-20, Silica, Parfum, Hydroxyacetophenone, Dipotassium Glycyrrizate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Glycerophosphate , Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, O-cymen-5-ol, CI 77288.

So, about the cream scrub.

I have this scrub in a volume of 30 ml, and its price is 410 rubles, which is more than acceptable for cosmetics of this type excellent quality. More detailed description can be viewed on the manufacturer's official website Femegyl.

As for the design, it is practical, without unnecessary frills, but in this case this is what makes it attractive. I have a compact plastic tube, similar to a toothpaste tube. On it you can see all the necessary information both about the product itself and about the manufacturer - composition, production date, expiration dates and storage conditions. Well, all other information is quite standard and familiar.



The tube is equipped with excellent additional protection - under the cap we see protective foil.

And this is another plus in the treasury of advantages of this scrub. Indeed, in our time, many manufacturers ignore such protection, and in vain - it’s always nice to know that no one has opened the product before you.

By pressing on the tube, you can see a scrub that has an unusual shade - it looks a little like mustard. There is practically no aroma, but if you try, you can discern a subtle aroma. It's a little specific, but it doesn't irritate me, rather it's even pleasant to me.

You can see the small particles in the scrub, they are really just tiny, which contributes to a more gentle and delicate cleansing of the skin.





First of all, I liked the scrub because it cleanses quite carefully, softly and delicately, but at the same time quite thoroughly.

The particles are so small that they do not scratch the delicate skin of the face. The product spreads perfectly over the skin and then rinses off well. There are no problems or negative feelings when using it. It is used quite economically, despite the small volume of the tube.

After using this scrub, the skin becomes tender and soft, like a baby's. She seemed younger, silky, velvety, smooth.

This is a wonderful treatment for oily and combination skin like mine. The scrub carefully removes all excess, and the skin is perfectly cleansed of excess sebum. Oily shine is eliminated, and pores are noticeably narrowed.

As the owner of problematic skin with the first signs of aging and oily sheen, I can assure you that this is simply the ideal product for women like me. That is, for those who are “a little over...”, and for whom skin care and cleansing should be selected especially carefully.


THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR ATTENTION!

​I WISH EVERYONE ONLY SUCCESSFUL AND USEFUL PURCHASES!

Thank you for reading!)))))

Super 👍 effective but safe 🌸 skin cleansing 🙂

Let me start by saying that I can’t imagine caring for my skin without scrub/peeling.

but finding a truly effective scrub is even more difficult than finding a normal cream!

  • What kind of “underscrubs” have I come across...
  1. Huge bricks! Which are not suitable for heels either.
  2. Lots of base and few scrubbing particles! Here you are crawling one scrub all over your face 😁 and there's no point.
  3. Scratchy little creatures! They seem to be small, and there are a lot of them, but they only cause harm.

😐 Considering that you have to get acquainted with the contents of the tube when

I’ve already bought the product, I have a lot of these “under-scrubs” collecting dust.

  • What made me happy - cleansing cream-scrub from "Librederm"​?

I'll start with a design that's pleasing to the eye, it's not the most important thing, but it does matter.

I love green color, and even more so in this shade, evokes a feeling of freshness and spring.

The box contains complete information about the product.

Price 258 rubles.

The volume is decent - 75 ml.

It will last a long time, especially considering the economical consumption.

The tube (also) has information about the contents.

Certainly 👍 There is a protective membrane, this is an important point for me.

The box contains information about the entire "SERACIN" series.

And of course, this cleansing cream-scrub with eco-granules "Seracin".

  • And now, finally, the most important thing is content tube...

​What I almost mistook for the main scrubbing particles (thinking that it was another

got caught), it turned out- crushed tea tree leaves! 🍃

Of course, they also matter, but they are not the only granules.

There are a lot of people here that are invisible on camera (with my camera) 🙄) particles that are super

efficient (like small workhorses), but very neat 👆 scrub the skin.

Even blackheads are not visible after application, only clean skin and no damage.

They (particles) are almost impossible to scratch your face (or I have hippopotamus skin 😅),

because they are very smooth and delicate. They resemble more of a peeling than a regular scrub.

An undoubted advantage of the product is the content of a plant complex with zinc and sulfur,

which has an antiseptic effect. 💊

Any woman knows how useful it is to periodically cleanse the skin of the face. After light exfoliation with a facial scrub cream, even the driest skin becomes smooth, soft, firm and elastic. There are situations when you urgently need to cleanse and rejuvenate your facial skin, for example, for an unplanned outing, but you don’t have a scrub cream on hand.

In this case, you can quickly prepare such a cream scrub at home.

Below are three recipes for such a face cream, according to which any woman can prepare herself a scrub in 1-2 minutes.

DIY coffee face scrub.

To prepare a coffee cream scrub, we need fresh ground coffee in equal proportions, no matter what type or degree of roast, and any face cream. The cream can be day, night, oily, absolutely any, here it serves as a necessary base and will be quickly washed off with water. Mix these ingredients together and homemade cream The quick face scrub will be ready in just a couple of minutes. Homegrown coffee scrub will gently and carefully cleanse your facial skin of dead cells and unclog pores.

Here we replaced ground coffee with other light abrasives that are used in industrially produced scrub creams. These are, as a rule, peach or apricot pits ground into powder. It will not be possible to finely grind either an apricot seed or a peach seed in a coffee grinder at home, but finely ground coffee acts just as well as a light abrasive.

Cream scrub with rice, honey and white clay.

Unlike the cream scrub with ground coffee, which can be made in a couple of minutes using home remedies, the following scrub recipe will require preparation. It contains white clay, and it may not always be on hand at home. But if you have it, everything else in the recipe is quite simple. Take three volume parts of dry rice ground in a coffee grinder and mix with two parts of white clay and one part of honey. One piece can be taken as a tablespoon. Mix everything together thoroughly and grind it in a cup with a tablespoon.

If you don’t like the smell of honey, you can add aromatic oil to your scrub cream to suit your taste. This facial scrub cream will gently and in a very thin layer remove rough skin and give your face a young, fresh look.

Homemade face scrub with ground rice and cream.

If you don’t have white clay and ground natural coffee on hand, and you need a cream scrub very urgently, then you can use another quick scrub recipe. Namely, we compile the cream scrub from the two previous recipes from the ingredients available at home. From the first recipe, we take any cream that is on hand, and replace the coffee with ground rice. From the second recipe we add, or do not add, as you prefer, honey. That's it, a simplified face scrub cream prepared at home is ready.
