This can clog pores and make skin appear dull.
Using a gentle skin scrub can revive tired, dull skin and smooth dry, rough skin as well as remove pore clogging black heads.
Exfoliating scrubs though can be expensive. They can be harsh on the skin because of the artificial ingredients and dangerous chemicals in them.
They are also an environmental disaster because the plastic beads and other ingredients end up in our water supply and oceans. This pollutes our environment and can kill marine life as they try to eat it.
One simple way to fix all of that is to make your own, safe scrub.
I will share what I use and it's the same one our teens use to help remove blackheads, especially around the nose and T-zone area.
Whether you have oily skin or dry skin - it helps them both and it only costs pennies!
Here is what I use:
1/4 or less cup of white sugar
Small amount of Herbal Multipurpose Cream - also known as "Miracle Cream"
Yes, just plain sugar and a cream known for its healing properties.
In a small bowl add sugar and enough cream to make a thick paste. Mix together well.
Wash face with a gentle cleanser and rinse.
While skin is still damp apply mixture and gently scrub area. Add more water to fingers if necessary. Focus on areas where blackheads are. Always avoid the delicate eye area and any open wounds.
Rinse well, apply favorite moisturizer if desired and enjoy that silky feeling!
This scrub also works great for rough, dry heels and elbows. Any area that need smoothing can benefit from this gentle scrub.
Remember though, not too often. Once a week for most skin types, maybe twice a week if you are really dealing with oily skin that is getting clogged pores.
If acne is a big issue consider trying our special Acne Cream after the scrub.
The easiest way to apply this scrub is right before a shower.
So after washing and rinsing your face, apply the scrub, then hop in the shower and rinse off well.
Much easier than trying to rinse bent over a sink.
I cannot emphasize this "Miracle Cream" enough!
It is great at helping clear acne and smooth dry skin.
It has no oily or greasy residue.
It softens dry, rough skin, soothes sunburn and insect bites, and even helps to soothe achy muscles and joints. Plus much more.
It is definitely a multi-purpose cream.
That is why we call it our "Miracle Cream".
