Looking for easy, inexpensive homemade face scrubs? Below are 13 simple exfoliating face scrubs that your skin will love!
I have been using the Oil Cleansing Method to wash my face for almost a year now! My face feels moisturized, healthy and I am having fewer breakouts. For my skin, this organic and homemade face wash works great for me.
About once a week though, my skin needs a simple exfoliating face scrubs. Exfoliating helps remove the dead skin cells and other remaining impurities. It alsohelps keep my complexion clear and my skin looking healthy.
