Homemade facial scrub

Do any of you lovely ladies know how to make a good homemade facial scrub?

When I use my facial scrubs (St. Ives, Clearasil) every night they make me break out even more if I use them every night. But if alternate them every other night they seem to work better.

But, I wanna try something new .. Any suggestions?

  • I would suggest waiting until after the wedding to try something new because you're so close to the date now that you may end up breaking out really bad, having dry skin, or other problems. If alternating each day works best, then I say stick with that. =)
  • I was told that the reason your face scrubs leaves you with more break outs is because while it DOES cleanse the skin, it also roughs the skin up and causes irritation.  I used to use the face scrubs but have stopped since and it improved.  IF you do prefer a scrub, get one with microbeads and not like the apricot scrub.  The microbeads are usually a similar size and shape and wouldn't rough up your skin as much.
  • Google sugar scrubs and salt scrubs. There are a ton of variations out there. I agree with PPs though, not to try something new so close to the big day.
  • Stay away from St. Ives for your face! The tiny pieces of shell actually can do more damage than good, and further irriate your skin. I agree with PP, try sugar or salt.
