Steps

Method 1 of 9: Mixed Sugar Exfoliant and Makeup Removal Cream

1. 

   Wash your face. Squeeze a little warm water on your face, use a soft cloth to gently scrub. You can use a little extra soap or cleanser - whatever you find suits your skin type.

2. 

   
   
   Squeeze about a teaspoon of makeup remover tea into your palm. You can take whatever you have, as long as it's in cream.

3. 

   Add two teaspoons of sugar tea to the makeup remover. Use both hands to mix the tray remover cream with sugar for a gritty paste.
   • Use white granulated sugar, which is better than raw sugar or cane sugar. Larger particles of sugar can scratch your face.
   • If you want to make a lot of use gradually, mix the makeup remover and sugar in the bowl with just the right amount to make a gritty paste. Put the mixture in a jar with a lid and keep in the bathroom for use.

4. 

   
   
   Apply this mixture on your face and rub in a circular motion. Pay attention to the sides of the nose, small folds, or dry areas. Be careful when applying around the eyes.
   • If you get this mixture in your eyes, rinse with water.

5. 

   
   
   Wet a soft washcloth with warm water. Lean into the sink and gently brush the mixture off your face. Wet a washcloth if necessary.

6. 

   To finish, splash your face with cold water. Cold water will tighten pores and cool your face. Pat your face dry with a soft towel. advertisement

Method 2 of 9: Combination of Exfoliants from Green Tea, Sugar, and Honey

1. 

   Heat a very thick cup of green tea. Green tea is known for its anti-aging effects when applied to the face. It helps to reduce wrinkles and blemishes and even fade scars.
   • For best results, use a tea filter to dip dry green tea instead of pre-packaged green tea.
   • If you use tea bags, use pure tea instead of flavored ones. It will help you get better results.

2. 

   Pour one or two tablespoons of braised tea into a bowl. Let the tea cool.

3. 

   Pour 1 tablespoon of sugar into the tea. Continue adding sugar until you have a consistency and grit enough to exfoliate your face, but also wet enough to make it easier to apply.

4. 

   Mix in a tablespoon of honey. Let's mix this mixture well. Honey has a very good moisturizing and antibacterial function.
   • For long term use, pour this mixture into a jar with lid. Store in a cool and dry place. This mixture will last a few weeks.

5. 

   Apply this mixture on your face after washing your face. Rub the mixture evenly over your face, concentrating on dry skin. Use a wet washcloth to wipe off the mixture and splash cold water over your face when you're done. advertisement

Method 3 of 9: Coconut Oil, Sugar, and Lemon Exfoliants Combination

Coconut oil has been used for a long time by inhabitants of the islands of the Pacific. Currently, it is considered to have very good skin care effects.

1. 

   Pour ½ cup of coconut oil into a bowl. If you don't have coconut oil, you can use olive oil, almond oil or grape seed oil.
   • Do not use peanut, canola, and vegetable oils. They have a very strong odor and make your facial care uncomfortable.

2. 

   Add two tablespoons of sugar to the bowl. Stir until the mixture is gritty and thick enough.

3. 

   Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the mixture. Lemon juice will help clean skin.
   • For long term use, pour this mixture into a jar with lid. Store in a cool and dry place. This mixture can be used for several weeks.

4. 

   Apply the mixture on your face after you wash it off. Rub the mixture evenly over the face, concentrating on dry areas. Use a wet washcloth to remove the mixture from your face, and splash cold water over your face when you're done.
   • Oil-based scrubs will make your skin softer and leave a thin layer of oil on your face. This type of blend is great for dry skin.

   Pour 1 cup of ground almonds into a bowl. You can buy store-ground almonds, but grind almonds is easy to do: just put the whole almonds in a blender or food processor, and grind them until they are fine.
   • Don't grind for too long or your finished product will turn into almond milk.
   • Don't use salted or baked nuts.

   Mix ½ cup of almond oil and ground almond seeds. You can also use olive, coconut oil or cosmetic oils.
   • Avoid peanut, canola, vegetable oils or oils with a strong odor.

Advice

• Using cucumbers is also a great way to cool the skin, especially when applied to the eyes.
• If you have blackheads or want the pores to open before exfoliating, soak part of a washcloth in hot water and press it on your face, but use water that is moderately hot, don't use boiling water.
• Using a homemade scrub for 1 to 2 weeks is best. Since it contains fresh ingredients, it spoils easily.
• Salt and toothpaste can burn your skin. If you have dry skin then this is not recommended.
• Add a few drops of lavender, lemon, or other essential oil to give your exfoliating scrub for added medicinal properties.
• Don't use ingredients that you are allergic to.
• Leave the mixture on your face for a few more minutes if you want better results.

Warning

• The salt will scratch your skin, and you shouldn't use it to exfoliate your skin if the salt has not been completely dissolved.
