Facial Scrubs are used to exfoliate your skin and remove dead skin cells. Do not, however, overdo it. Too much exfoliation might aggravate your skin, which may eventually lead to irritation. Once or twice a week is enough.

If you’re low on a budget you can make your own easy-to-do facial scrub at home. You’ll be surprised that almost everything you need can be found in your kitchen.

Once you’ve tried making these natural facial scrubs, you will surely think twice of buying expensive facial scrubs that may contain chemicals and other harsh ingredients.
