How to Make a Moisturizing Exfoliant

Exfoliating is an important way to keep your skin looking healthy. It promotes good blood circulation and removes dead skins cells that can cause your face to look tired and dull. Making your own healthy, natural moisturizing exfoliant only takes a few minutes and the payoff will be fresher, younger-looking skin.

Things You'll Need

• ½ cup granulated or brown sugar
• ½ cup regular table salt
• ½ cup coarse sea salt
• 1 cup coffee grounds
• Olive oil, avocado oil or sweet almond oil
• 1 tsp. granulated sugar
• ½ tsp. honey
• 1 tsp. plain yogurt

Instructions

Moisturizing Exfoliant

1. Mix the sugar, table salt, sea salt and coffee, and pour in enough oil to make the mixture feel soft and squishy.

2. Take a hot shower, and rub the exfoliant all over your skin. Rinse it off thoroughly.

3. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel.

Yogurt and Honey Moisturizing Exfoliant

1. Place the sugar, honey and yogurt in a small mixing bowl and stir it until it's smooth.

2. Smooth the yogurt and honey moisturizing exfoliant over your face and leave it for 10 minutes.

3. Rinse your face with cool water.

Tips & Warnings

• For the best results, apply exfoliant in the evening, because your skin will be more absorbent and supple than it is in the morning. The exfoliant will not only be more effective, but it will be very relaxing after a long day.

• Make a quick and effective oatmeal exfoliant by mixing a pack of instant oatmeal with enough water to make a paste. Dab the exfoliant onto your face and let it set for about 2 minutes. Rinse it off with lukewarm water.
