So here is the last and final instalment of this series! A guide on making your face scrub at home ! Hope you like it!

For making a face scrub you need two basic ingredients: something that will form the scrub part (the basic ingredient)  and an ingredient that will hold the scrub together and provide nourishment.

Lets start with the basic ingredient.

Now when you take a store bought face scrub you will find that it is mostly made of almond grits.. Errr.. Okay whatever   So I have picked 4 other ingredients easily available to us : sugar, coarsely ground almonds (only for normal/dry skin since it has oil content), sooji (rava/semolina) and oatmeal. You can choose any of these 4 to make your scrub although I wouldn’t recommend sugar if you have sensitive skin since it can be really rough on the skin. Sugar qualifies for an excellent lip scrub though. 

Then comes the add-on ingredient(s)

Now choosing the ingredient to bind the scrub together is as important as the scrub itself. This also serves a particular purpose. For e.g, if you have dry skin, add a little olive oil to the basic ingredient and use! As simple as that :) Choosing the right ingredient matters. For dry skin I would recommend olive oil or honey. Neem water is apt for pimple prone skin and milk for oily skin. You can also make your own coffee scrub by adding the coffee decoction to the basic ingredient
