5 Natural Skin Exfoliation Methods With Toxin- free Remedies

Nowadays we usually buy exfoliants in the supermarket or in beauty stores that promise us a healthier, less greasy, balanced, glowy skin. However, most of the time they do not tell us the amount of potentially harmful chemicals their products contain, as well as microplastics that pollute the environment and sometimes are even tested on animals. 

Instead of spending a lot of money on these products, whose ingredients we do not know and production could be possibly damaging the world, we recommend these 5 recipes to make your own natural exfoliant at home. What could be better than doing your exfoliants yourself, at home, being completely aware of what you are putting on your face and what it will exactly do to it? Honestly, there is nothing better.

Also, through the years of beauty evolution, natural beauty has proven to be extremely successful and healthy. I mean, how could something that you literally eat and out inside your body not be healthy? Food is always the best friend when it comes to skincare.

Don't believe me? Well, continue reading and get the recipes for amazing exfoliators for you to DIY with the best natural ingredients depending on your skin type and concerns. You will see what I am talking about for yourself.  Here we go: 

When we choose natural products to exfoliate this type of dermis, it is essential to take into account that the oil-based ingredients increase the presence of grease on the skin, significantly affecting its appearance, so they should be avoided. Also, many exfoliants for oily skin tend to over dry the skin, which is not good at all either. There has to be a balance between these two, as we don't want to have an extreme case. 

Instead, it is recommended to use citrus fruits such as lemon or kiwi that help to diminish and neutralize the fat, which will make the skin look much cleaner and beautiful. Additionally, green clay is especially recommended for oily skin, since, in addition to serving as an exfoliant, it is an excellent ingredient to make a cleansing face mask that eliminates toxins and leaves your skin soft and beautiful. Having said this, check out this exfoliating remedy for oily skin: 

Oatmeal is one of the best natural exfoliants for the body and face as it helps eliminate dead cells and moisturize the skin, providing softness in a single use. If we join it with lemon we will have a perfect alternative for oily skin, because this citrus is an excellent astringent that helps control the grease on the skin.

To make this toxin-free exfoliation you need:

• 2 tablespoons of flakes or oat flakes ¼ cup of water
• The juice of half a lemon

Sensitive skin can be one of the most annoying types as you will always have to be careful with what you are applying in your face. Anything that is too strong could irritate it and make everything worse, so ingredients are very important when it comes to making homemade exfoliations.

• 1/4 cup of aloe vera

Exfoliation is a very important part of the skin's beauty routine since, in addition to removing dead cells that stay stuck on the surface, it promotes cell renewal, improves oxygenation and returns the skin's softness and luminosity. Besides that, the exfoliation favors the penetration of the creams and, therefore, improves its effectiveness.
 

For these reasons, exfoliating at least once a week is suitable and advisable for all skin types, especially in the case of acne prone skin, as this eliminates dirt and prevents clogging of pores which is a major problem in this cases. 

Also, one has to be really careful with the products we use when we have this type of skin. Why? Because anything that is not suitable for it will make the acne worse; you will break out, get more blackheads and clogged pores, get acne scars and marks, which is just a big no and the contrary of what you are probably looking for. 

For all of these reasons, we have come up with the best exfoliation remedy for acne prone skin. Say goodbye to those annoying pimples! Here it is:
