Exfoliating scrubs are important, simple fact. But so often, when you buy a treatment already made for you, you find that those exfoliators are combined with so many harsh chemicals like benzoyl peroxide that you have to debate whether it is realistically worth it. It’s how it goes. But of course, you can make your own exfoliating treatment at home, which helps you to control what goes into it. For example you could use tea tree oil as your antiseptic instead.
You could of course crush up walnut shells, but it tends to be a lot of work. Instead, use turbinado sugar which is brown organic sugar. Coffee grounds can keep their consistency even in warm water and help you, and the caffeine on the outside helps you rather than hurting your skin as it would from the inside. Others like honey are actually surprising exfoliators, and marshmallow fluff has egg whites which can firm skin and fight against acne. Cinnamon is among the highest antioxidant foods and can therefore kill off bacteria and free radicals. Naturally, if you were to combine these, it would make for a great natural scrub you can make in the comfort of your own home.
