Home-made microdermabrasion and face scrub

Probably, a baking soda face mask was applied almost by every woman who likes to take a good care of herself. Certainly, it works better on some people and worse on the others. However, have you ever wondered what will happen if we add a plant oil or fruits to the baking soda face mask? Surely, due to such a mixture, our skin will be purified and nourished at the same time. And this is how we can create home microdermabrasion and a face scrub completely on our own.

What are the features of baking soda? First of all, it has 10,3 pH, which is safe for face skin. Obviously, people having sensitive or allergic skin type should be careful while applying new cosmetics on the skin. For that reason, it is advised to undergo an allergy test first. Suffice to apply the new product on a small area of your skin (most preferably the part that is not exposed to the sun) and wait 24 hours in order to examine if the cosmetic reacts with our skin. If we do not notice any alarming changes, then we can start applying the product on the regular basis. Coming back to properties of the baking soda. This product is able to smooth and soften body skin. Furthermore, it eliminates redness and other discolourations as well as helps with healing acne and small scars.

How do other ingredients of the home-made face scrub and microdermabrasion work? Surely, plant and herbal oils take care of skin and, what is crucial for some women, smell wonderfully. What is more, fruits contain plenty of vitamins, minerals and other nourishing substances that are necessary for our skin. Instead of using fruits, you can reach for kefir (a kind of buttermilk) that has moisturizing features. It goes without saying that, the way our home-made cosmetic works depends on the ingredients we use and their quality.

Start preparing the home-made face mixture for microdermabrasion from grating fruits on a grater. Use the small holes only since you have to transform the fruit into a pulp. Then, add the baking soda gradually, having in mind that the consistency of our cosmetic has to be rather dense, because we cannot let it run down our face. If it happens that you use fruits that contain a lot of water, add some potato flour. This should make the consistency denser. When you mix all the ingredients, apply the mixture on the face. It is suggested to give a massage to the face after 10 minutes of wearing the baking soda face mask. Mind you, resign from the massage and rinse the face mask the moment you experience any irritations. Finally, when you remove the home-made cosmetic for microdermabrasion , pat a moisturizing cream or an oil into your face. The baking soda face masks with fruits can be applied not only on your face but also on the neck and the cleavage skin. Last but not least, you can reapply it once a week.
