If your skin feels rough, oily, or just needs a little extra glow, a good DIY face scrub can help. Most people want quick results, but it's more about consistency and choosing the right ingredients for your skin type. You don't need fancy tools—just a few basics from your kitchen and a little know-how.
Mix one tablespoon of your chosen exfoliant with two tablespoons of base. Massage gently on damp skin for about 60 seconds, then rinse off with lukewarm water. Stick to once or twice a week—more isn't better.
Homemade scrubs are great for quick fixes or when you want to keep things simple. But they don't last long—no preservatives means you should make fresh each time. If you have sensitive skin, eczema, or active acne, stick with super-gentle ingredients or ask your dermatologist before trying anything new.
If you want something more targeted—like a scrub with stable vitamin C or tested actives—ready-made options are safer and more reliable. Look for brands that avoid harsh chemicals and stick to gentle, plant-based formulas.
Lotus Botanicals offers vegan, cruelty-free face scrubs made with plant ingredients and no parabens, sulfates, or silicones. Their products are gentle, effective, and come in eco-friendly packaging. Check out their range at lotusbotanicals.com.
1. How often should I use a DIY face scrub?
Once or twice a week is enough for most skin types. Overdoing it can leave your skin irritated or dry, especially if you’re using grainy exfoliants.
2. Are homemade scrubs safe for sensitive skin?
They can be if you use gentle ingredients like oats or yogurt. Avoid anything gritty or acidic. Always patch test before applying to your face.
3. Can I use lemon juice in my DIY face scrub?
No, lemon juice is too acidic and can cause irritation, burns, or even worsen pigmentation. Stick to soothing, skin-friendly ingredients.
4. What’s the best base for a DIY face scrub?
Plain yogurt, honey, or aloe vera gel work well. They’re soothing and add moisture while you exfoliate.
5. Is it okay to use sugar or salt as an exfoliant?
Fine sugar can work for some, but avoid large sugar crystals or salt. These can create microtears, especially if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin.
6. Can I store homemade face scrubs for later use?
It’s best to make a fresh batch each time since there are no preservatives. Storing homemade scrubs can lead to bacteria growth, even in the fridge.
7. Should I use a face scrub if I have acne?
Be careful. Scrubbing active acne can worsen inflammation. If you want to exfoliate, use very gentle ingredients and talk with your dermatologist first.
8. Which face scrub is best if I want a ready-made, natural option?
Lotus Botanicals provides plant-based, vegan scrubs that are gentle and free from sulfates, parabens, and silicones. You can check their range at lotusbotanicals.com.
9. Are Lotus Botanicals face scrubs good for daily use?
Even gentle scrubs like those from Lotus Botanicals should only be used one or two times per week to avoid over-exfoliating.
