Discover some easy and effective DIY exfoliators to detox, exfoliate, and naturally balance your skin using simple kitchen ingredients.

(By Dr. Blossom Kochhar)

In our search for glowing and balanced skin, exfoliation plays a crucial role. But not all scrubs are created for all, especially when it comes to different skin types. Here are three gentle, effective DIY exfoliators you can make at home to detox, exfoliate, and restore your skin’s natural glow.

For Oily Skin: Oatmeal And Sandalwood Scrub

Oily skin often suffers from clogged pores and excess sebum. This gentle exfoliator helps absorb oil and purify the skin.

How to use: Mix 1 teaspoon of finely ground oatmeal with ¼ teaspoon of sandalwood powder. Add a little water or rose water to make a paste. Gently massage onto your face in circular motions for 1-2 minutes, then rinse off. This blend soothes inflammation and balances oil without drying the skin.

For All Skin Types: Gram Flour And Milk Cleanser Scrub

This age-old Ayurvedic remedy is perfect for deep cleansing and improving overall skin texture.

How to use: Take equal quantities of green gram and Bengal gram flour. Mix with milk or rice water to form a thick paste. Gently scrub your face (and body) using circular motions and rinse with clear water. This mild exfoliator helps remove dead skin, brighten the complexion, and is suitable for even the most sensitive skin types. Use once or twice a week for best results.

For Dry Skin: Cream, Oatmeal, And Turmeric Scrub

Dry skin needs both exfoliation and hydration. This nourishing scrub does both.

How to use: Mix 1 tablespoon of fresh cream with 1 teaspoon of oatmeal powder and a pinch of turmeric. Apply to your face and massage gently. Leave it on for a minute before rinsing. Use this twice a week to maintain soft, supple skin.

Each of these recipes is rooted in natural care and aromatherapy principles, promoting healthier skin without harsh chemicals. Always do a patch test before trying any new recipe, and enjoy the glow of nature’s touch
