Feeling like your face needs a refresh but can’t go to the store to buy all kinds of new skincare products? Don’t worry, DIY scrubs are here to save the day. Simple homemade face scrubs are the perfect recipes to attempt if you’re new to do-it-yourself skin care.  They’re super easy to make and you likely have all the ingredients you need already in your kitchen. The ingredients are inexpensive and easy to find.

Dry, dead skin cells make it difficult for your fresh, new skin to absorb the rich creams, oils, and serums that you’re using to repair skin, target acne, or prevent aging. Exfoliating helps remove the dead skin cells and other remaining impurities. It also helps to keep your skin clear and healthy. Here are some great scrubs that you can make and use at home for beautiful and flawless skin,
