How to properly apply the facial scrub with coconut oil

First, clean your skin very thoroughly. Pat it dry and then you can start with the peeling. Try it on a small area of your face first and see how your skin reacts.

Rub the scrub in your hands and then massage it into your face with loose, very careful (!) and circular movements. Attention: Do not let it get into your eyes!

Leave the scrub on for a very short time - maximum 30 seconds - and then wash it off with lukewarm water.

Pat dry and you're done.

If you have slightly oily skin, you will not need a cream now. If you have a tendency to dry skin, you can apply the care now. Because now the skin is particularly receptive.

Tip: blackhead remover

There is a whole range of ways to combat impurities. In any case, it must be a solution that helps to open the pores. Only then can the sebum drain away.

In this way, you take away the breeding ground for subterranean pimples in advance.

Personally, a blackhead remover helps me very well. With the help of a light vacuum, blackheads and sebum are sucked out of the skin. And completely painless.

Fortunately, the redness goes away very quickly. I recommend a blackhead remover, which I use myself. Here you can choose from 5 suction strengths and several attachments and simply suck away blackheads.

These ingredients are suitable for making your own facial scrub with coconut oil

If you deal with natural cosmetics, you should know why you use which ingredients. Therefore, there is now a small list of ingredients and the effect.

Especially for sensitive skin, this is really important. For those who have very easily irritated skin, take sugar. But salt is also good, it kills bacteria. However, it has quite a sharp effect on the skin.

Face scrub with coconut oil

In Coconut oil* There are plenty of minerals, antioxidants and vitamins in the skin. The ingredients prevent wrinkles and are effective against irritated skin and acne.

And Coconut oil* provides plenty of moisture. This soothes facial inflammation and leaves the skin soft and smooth.

But beware: not every skin reacts positively from coconut oil. Especially if you are prone to acne, coconut oil may even make pimples worse.

This is because it is classified as comedogenic, meaning it clogs pores.

But this is exactly where experts disagree strongly. A study from Greece (2006) found that products classified as comedogenic do not aggravate pimples.

You have to distinguish between theory and practice. Comedogenic ingredients are always tested in very high doses. Much higher than they are ultimately used.

If you are unsure, replace the coconut oil with Grape seed oil* or hemp oil. Both are said to be effective against blemished skin.

• Thistle hazelnut and Grape seed oil* are suitable for oily skin
• Coconut oil, shea or Cocoa butter* is used for dry skin

For peelings with coconut oil or other oils, you should definitely pay attention to organic quality. In principle, high-quality vegetable oil can be used for the entire body.

Anyone who relies on coconut oil when making their own facial scrub will benefit several times over. The oil soothes the skin. Since it has an antibacterial effect, it removes the breeding ground for bacteria. Pimples and blackheads are thus reduced.

Coconut scrubs rub off old dead skin cells and help the skin renew itself.

Make sure you don't use an oily cream that will clog your pores again.

Because I have blemished skin myself, I know how you feel. I have not found a cream that meets my expectations 100%ig. Every time clog pores anew.

I recently started using a tonic spray instead of a cream. It absorbs quickly and is much lighter than creams. I currently have this Face spray against impure skin in use and am very satisfied with it. Give it a try, it's not expensive and definitely worth a try!

Sugar for face scrub with coconut oil

If you want to make your own facial scrub, you need an ingredient that removes dead skin flakes. The best way to do this is with a "scratchy" ingredient. Most often, salt, sugar or coffee powder is used for this purpose.

Only then does this natural cosmetic get its exfoliating effect.

Sugar contains glycolic acid. It makes the skin supple and helps against dehydration. If the skin is very sensitive, sugar peeling can make it red for a short time. However, the skin quickly calms down again.

You can choose between brown, white or raw sugar. Each type has its advantages. You can choose freely.

White sugar has a strong exfoliating effect. However, the care effect is less.

Cane sugar is coarse and more suitable for elbows, heels and feet. It is too grainy for sensitive facial skin.

Brown sugar combines the advantages of raw and white sugar. It is fine-grained and contains moisture. Brown sugar is optimal for making your own facial scrub.

Clay in scrub for face

We also put a little red clay in the scrub. It is a boon for impure skin in particular. Like a little sponge, it sucks bacteria and fats out of the skin.

The pores are cleaned and the skin is deeply cleansed. In addition, the powder provides a pretty color :)

Rose oil to make your own face scrub with coconut oil

Rose oil* brings an incredibly good fragrance to our facial scrub. But it also has many other very positive properties from which the facial scrub benefits. Rose oil* is compatible with all skin types. It has an antiseptic effect

The scent can weaken depression and is effective in sleep disorders. Therefore, the recipe for making your own face scrub is optimal for the time before bedtime.

Do you love the scent of facial scrub with coconut oil so much? It has a really relaxing effect and is good not only for the skin, but also for the soul.
