My scalp needs to be exfoliated.

My scalp has excessive oil build-up and dandruff.

Use tea tree shampoo and don’t use hot water cause it only produces more oil which produces more dandruff.

I’ve heard of people making homemade facial masks and scrubs that work!!! How do you make them and what do you need??

Brown Sugar
1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup virgin coconut or olive oil, 10 drops skin-safe oil fragrance if desired

Oatmeal
1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/4 cup water or milk

Banana
2 tsp banana, 2 tsp rolled oats, 1 tsp milk, 1 tsp honey

Coffee
1 cup coffee granules that have been soaked in hot water, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup table salt, 1/2 cup sea salt, splash of olive/almond/avocado/coconut oil

Pineapple & Papaya
2 tbsp juiceless pineapple, 2 tbsp juiceless papaya, 2 tbsp oatmeal, 1 tbsp honey

Baking Soda
pinch baking soda, pinch salt, pinch sugar, 1 tbsp oatmeal, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/4 cup warm water

Avacado & Banana
1 avacado pit hammered into fine grains, 1/2 banana, 1 tbsp olive oil

Honey
1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup salt, 1/4 cup olive oil

My usual stuff costs quite a bit per bottle and I use it twice a day so it doesn’t last long. I also looked on the back and the list of chemicals in it scared me a bit. Just what crap am I putting on my face every day?

I want to make my own but it has to be good at removing blackheads as I always suffer from them. It would be great if it help moisturise too as I get dry skin.

Something that smells lush would also be a bonus!

I have been doing this for almost a year now. I get compliments daily on what nice skin I have.

I use a mix of grapeseed oil, tea tree, lavendar oil, castor, avacado oil, and rosemary oil…..and usually either a bit of EVOO, almond, or apricot. Just depends what I am in the mood for. I make a new batch about once every 2 weeks.

I also do a sugar scrub every 2-3 weeks with 3 kinds of sugars (white, brown, and raw) mixed with my regular facial blend and peppermint oil added. It makes my skin nice and tingly and exfoliates nicely.

Seriously….my skin looks better than it ever has, including the year when I tried proactive.

what is good about homemade body scrub? some people said it is more natural to skin..but some people said that skin scrub in the market is better because it made by expert..help me…i want to use it..but i confused whether to buy it or make it on my own…

it is better u use homemade body scrub…
it is cheap and effective because it is fresh

the recipes of homemade body scrub is in link below

homemadebodyscrub.blogspot.com

INGREDIENTS:
Sugar(about 3 cps)
Almonds(no salted almonds)(about 3/4 cp)~if you can find almonds that are already ground up that would be super easy!
Honey (about 1/3 cp)
Almond Extract(about 1 1/4 tsp)
Almond Oil (about 4 fl. oz.)
food processor or coffee grinder to grind up almonds
container to store your scrub that you can put in your shower(water tight)
bowl to mix your ingrediants
spoon

Grind up almonds. Put almonds in your mixing bowl. Add honey and almond extract. Mix. Add your oil. Mix. Add your sugar till most of the oil has been soaked up by the sugar. Mix. Put in your container. Store in shower or wherever you are going to use your scrub.
Should keep for a very long time but if you notice any nasty smells or discolorations then throw it away.

The honey and almond oil will moisturize your skin and the almonds and sugar will exfoliate!!

Also you could try dry brushing. I love using dry brushing. Gives you that great glow and smooth skin.

The Benefits Of Dry Skin Brushing

• Dry skin brushing helps to shed dead skin cells, which can help improve skin texture and cell renewal.

• Dry skin brushing increases circulation to skin, encouraging your body’s discharge of metabolic wastes, which greatly aids the lymphatic drainage of the entire body. When the body rids itself of toxins, it is able to run more efficiently in all areas.

• Dry skin brushing also helps to tighten the skin because it increases the flow of blood. Increasing the circulation to the skin can also help lessen the appearance of cellulite.

• Dry skin brushing stimulates the lymph canals to drain toxic mucoid matter into the colon, thereby purifying the entire system. This enables the lymph to perform its house-cleaning duties by keeping the blood and other vital tissues detoxified. After several days of dry brushing, you may notice the gelatinous mucoid material in your stools.

• Dry skin brushing helps with muscle tone and more even distribution of fat deposits.

• Dry skin brushing also rejuvenates the nervous system by stimulating nerve endings in the skin.

• Dry skin brushing helps your skin to absorb nutrients by eliminating clogged pores. Healthy, breathing skin contributes to overall body health.

• Individuals who sit at a computer screen all day long will particularly take pleasure in the benefits of skin brushing. People who have inactive lifestyles or jobs usually experience stiff and sore necks and shoulders that reach even into their arms and down their spines and into their lower backs. Increased blood flow begins entering the areas brushed and you will experience an increase in electromagnetic energy that permits you to feel energized and invigorated.

• LADIES—Cellulite is toxic. Cellulite is toxic materials that are accumulated in your body’s fat cells as they are unable to be eliminated. So, rather than liposuction surgery, how about utilizing the “dry skin brushing” techniques coupled with an alkaline diet program and a great exercising routine. It will break down the unwelcome toxic body deposits and send them scurrying out of your body through the elimination channels we discussed above.

What is a Dry Brush Exfoliation?
A dry brush exfoliation involves the use of a soft, dry brush to gently brush the skin. It is recommended by holistic practitioners to remove dead skin cells, improve the circulation of blood and lymph, and enhance detoxification through skin. The gentle pressure is also thought to have a calming effect.

How is Dry Brush Exfoliation Done?
The only tool needed is a soft, dry, skin brush, preferably with natural bristles.

Step 1
Stand in the shower with the water off.

Step 2
Starting at your feet, start brushing in small circles towards your heart. Apply very light pressure, avoiding broken skin, skin rashes, or areas where the skin is thin, such as the face or inner thighs.

Step 3
After you’ve finished both legs, move on to your arms. Brush from your fingertips, again towards your heart.

Step 4
Reach around and brush from your back towards your stomach.

Step 5
When you are finished, begin showering.

Here is a nice natural bristle brush. Very cheap!!
