Homemade Exfoliating

When it comes to skin care, there are many homemade alternatives to over the counter exfoliators and beauty products. Your skin is vital as is your pocket book, particularly in this economy. Store-bought exfoliants, including body wash exfoliating products have their advantages – they tend to smell better and are made with a balanced formula in good proportion. However, if times are tight then a home-made exfoliating may be the best alternative to products for sale, particularly if you want full control over the ingredients you mix into the formula to guarantee a natural, chemical-free cream for your skin.

There are many recipes for homemade exfoliants and many of these are organic, with varying degrees of salt, sugar and other ingredients that will act in balance with the oil in your skin, the dead layer above and your overall body chemistry. There are recipe booklets, books and skincare e-books that you can buy and experiment with. If money’s tight, or if you’re just curious then give one of these books a try.

Another option is to buy facial scrubs and similar items that may get multiple uses out of the same product. One more option to consider for the overall health of your skin is of course a mask.

In these pages are valuable tips and recipe suggestions, plus links to reasonably priced skincare books for sale to get the best home made results possible. We suggest that ingredients are added carefully and that you verify that you are not allergic to any of them, particularly if you plan to use a homemade facial product on your face’s sensitive skin. If you prefer, try one of the over the counter remedies such as the Revitol anti-aging cream.
