Oily skin tends to be a little high-maintenance. It demands extra care, beyond the usual cleaning and moisturizing. Blackheads, sebum, and acne-causing bacteria attack oily skin. This is where a face scrub comes in. It removes dead cells and keeps that extra oil under control. 

There are many benefits of using a face scrub, such as:

• Dead skin cells can make your face look dull. Face scrubs exfoliate the skin and remove those dead skin cells.
• It reduces acne scars and dark patches on the skin.
• Excessive sebum can get stored in the skin pores. Scrubbing your face will remove the oil and unclog these skin pores.
• Face scrub also prevents ingrown hair, which often causes pimples on the face.
• Face scrubs promote smoother skin and improve its texture by encouraging skin renewal process.

FAQs

Q. What is the best time to apply a face scrub?

A. Though any time of the day will work, it is still best to apply it in the morning. The skin repairs itself at night which leaves dead cells on the skin in the morning. So, it would be the best time to scrub them off. 

Q. What are the precautions that one must take before making a homemade face scrub?

A. Do not exfoliate your skin too frequently. That can irritate your skin. Avoid scrubbing if you have wounds or sunburn on your face. That might worsen the condition of the skin. 

Q. How can I store homemade face scrub?

A. Use airtight plastic containers. Glass mason jars can also be used. Some scrubs are more effective if stored in a cool place, so you can use the medicine cabinet or kitchen cupboards or linen closets.
