Instant Homemade Facial Scrubs

"This new approach makes perfect sense."

There’s good news! Making homemade facial scrubs no longer requires standing in the kitchen mashing a bunch of ingredients together. You can actually make them in an instant. Do you want to know how?

You’ve probably already read about making simple sugar scrubs and how quick and convenient they are.

Did you try one yet? If you'd like to there are some easy recipes in the sugar scrub section.

If you have then you know how great sugar works. You may have even put a sugar packet or two in your makeup bag to use in a quick face or lip exfoliator recipe . Well, there's also a second method...

"You can customize your beauty products."


Secret Facial Recipe

Makeup artists make their own custom exfoliating products all the time. They use sugar, but they also use another type of exfoliating product – dry exfoliating powder.

* What you can do is mix these dry powders with either water or combine them with your favorite cleansers to make homemade facial scrubs instantly. One of these products even comes in little packets making it super easy to use.

Rice Exfoliating Powder

Both the products listed below are made from rice powder – crushed rice. Now, if you’re not familiar with the benefits of rice, you might be surprised. It’s a gentle natural exfoliant which doesn’t tear your skin. Plus, rice is packed with antioxidants which makes it perfect for exfoliating.

Two great choices:

  • If you like convenience and want a powder that is gentle then try Komenuka Bijin Facial Cleansing Powder from Natural Rice Bran. It contains aloe extract and mineral-rich sea kelp along other antioxidants. This is the one that comes in packets. You get 30 packets and each packet is good for 3 uses. So it’s 90 times!

  • Is your skin oily? Then L’Occitane En Provence has a powder called Riz Rice Exfoliating Rice Powder. This one comes in a powder dispenser which contains gentle exfoliating flakes. You simply pour about a teaspoon of the powder into your damp hand and mix into a cream. Then apply to your face. It doesn’t get any simpler than that. You can find both of these products on Amazon.

"It's secret spa beauty at your fingertips."

Simple Tip
If you are using a product in packets, whether sugar or powder, you can use a sticky dot (like the kind you buy in sheets at the office store) to close your product. Just fold the top down twice and apply the sticker.

Using simple homemade facial scrubs on a regular basis is a great way to help insure that your skin will be smooth for makeup application. The use of a foundation primer will also go a long way in helping to keep your makeup looking smooth.
