When it comes to exfoliation, you will get an array of options, as different brands offer different types of body scrubs made up of different ingredients such as Propylene Glycol, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben and Propylparaben that may result in adverse reactions. So, in order to ensure 100% safe exfoliant, I offer you top 4 homemade scrubs for exfoliation that enable you with radiant and beautiful skin.
The organic scrubs can also prove to be harmful if overdone. And, if you are suffering from skin ailments such as acne or in more serious case rosacea, then scrubbing on face may aggravate your beauty ailments. In such conditions, you should only use a pore minimizing cream after a facial. You can also apply alcohol-free toner soon after scrubbing. There are products that may stimulate the dryness further, especially during winter. So, it’s always better to go for homemade products when it comes to skincare regime to avoid any such adverse effects.
