Skin Exfoliation Recipe for Acne Treatment

While most people know about cleaning, moisturizing and even sunscreen, exfoliation seems to be an overlooked regimen in skin care at home.

Exfoliation is the skin’s natural process of removing dead skin cells to reveal the healthy, glowing fresh skin cells beneath. The exterior skin cells become dry, scaly and non-functional as they die.

As we age the process of exfoliation through begins to slow. By the time we reach the ripe old age of 25 that process has doubled in time. What once took 30 days now takes 60.

So the new skin cells that were revealed after 30 days when we were 20 now takes 60 days to come to the surface, making our faces duller, dryer and definitely looking our age.

But we have options to improve the natural process by using an exfoliation to help the skin shed the dead cells.

You can choose to purchase an exfoliant or make one at home. Some great products you can include in an exfoliant are ground oats, milled flax seed, cornmeal, yogurt, honey or buttermilk. A mix of yogurt and ground oats is actually a mix of chemical and abrasive exfoliant because the ground oats are abrasive and the yogurt is chemical (lactic acid in the yogurt).

Mixing oatmeal, ½ cup milk and 1 tsp of honey to make a paste.
Apply this to your face and let it dry.
Rub this off gently with a warm wet washcloth.

Your hands will love-

½ cup of granulated sugar,
2 tablespoons of apricot oil,
the juice of ½ lemon or 3 drops of lemon essential oil.
Combine these and apply them immediately to your hands.
Rub this for a minute and then rinse with warm water and moisturizer. Sugar is an excellent exfoliator and apricot oil is a natural lubricant.

Make your feet sing with this nuts scrub.

½ cup shelled walnuts,
1 tablespoon olive oil,
1 tablespoon of castor oil,
1 teaspoon of honey and
1-2 drops of your favorite essential oil.
Blend the nuts in a blender until a fine powder; add the rest of the ingredients to make a paste.
Rub your feet with this vigorously and rinse with warm water. This is wonderful when used twice weekly.
