What are some good homemade facial scrubs? With household ingredients, please! & How do I use the scrub?
(:
Also, how would I fit a scrub in to my skin-care routine?
I splash my face with warm water, cleanse with Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser, tone with either apple-cider-vinegar-and-water OR ten-aspirin-and-witch-hazel, moisturize with Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture, then (sometimes) do a spot-treatment with Tea Tree Oil (diluted with water).
&& It's the same for the morning except for no spot-treatment.
So, yeah, how would I fit the scrub into this routine? Would I replace one of my steps with the scrub? Should I do it in the morning or at night? Do I only do it a few times a week?
Thanks! (:
After cleansing and toning your face, you should do the scrub. The scrub will work better on a clean skin with all the impurities removed. And it'll remove the dead cells too. N then you rinse and mositurize.
For the homemade facial scrub, I use fruits such as mango and papaya for my scrub. They work just great!! Use the soft pulp of the fruits and mash it with a fork. Add about 1 tsp of sugar or enough to form a paste. Then use as any normal scrub. You can store this scrub in the fridge as well, in an air-tight container. If you have sensitive skin then do the scrub once a week. Otherwise upto twice a week is fine and usually recommended.
For you body, you mix lemon juice and sugar to form a scrub like consistency and use this for your body. Try it once, and you'll be addicted!! This leaves your skin super soft and smooth!! I do that every 3 days, and then generously mositurize my body. Hope this helps!! ♥
'Man skin care' would seem like an alien topic to some men. It would have been even more alien a few years back. However, more and more men are now realising the importance of man skin care (and hence you see markets flush with man skin care products too). Even though the male skin is very different from that of a female, 'man skin care' is very similar to the skin care for women.
'Man skin care' too starts with cleansing. Water soluble cleansers are preferred. Cleansing helps remove the dirt, grease and pollutants from the skin and helps in preventing pore clogging. The inherent oily nature of male skin makes cleansing an important part of man skin care procedure. Cleansing should be done at least once every day, even better if it is done twice a day. Using soap on the face is discouraged.
'Man skin care' revolves a lot around shaving. Shaving foam/gel/cream and after shave lotion are one of the most important man skin care products. Serious 'man skin care' requires a proper selection of shaving related equipment and products. One of the main considerations in choosing shaving products should be the skin type (since the degree of oiliness differs from person to person). Alcohol-based aftershaves should be avoided. Proper 'man skin care' also mandates the use of good quality razors. Here, swivel-head razors are preferred since they are known to reduce cuts. Besides these products and equipment, it is also necessary that you use them properly. Be gentle when using your razor. Do not scratch it against your skin; use a soft and smooth action (after all it's a matter of removing hair, not the skin itself).
Male skin is generally thicker and oilier, owing to larger pores and more active sebaceous glands. However, due to regular shaving, the skin can get dehydrated quite easily. Hence moisturisers too form an integral part of man skin care. Moisturising gel or cream should be applied after shaving. In fact, some shaving foams/ gel have an in-built moisturising effect too. Moisturisers should be patted gently over the face and massaged gently using upward strokes.
Though a man's skin is less susceptible to skin cancer caused by UV radiation, using a sunscreen is also an important man skin care measure. You can use a moisturiser that combines sunscreen with the moisturising effect.
Another good option for 'man skin care' is to use man skin care products which have natural ingredients like aloe vera, sea salt and coconut etc. Naturally antiseptic oils e.g. lavender, tea tree etc also provide good means for man skin care.
Man skin care is not as difficult as a lot of men think. It just asks for a few minutes every day, in order to give you a healthy skin for present and for future.
