Along with daily cleansing and moisturising, facial skin needs regular exfoliation that helps to remove dead epidermal cells and speed up skin renewal. Face scrubs probably are the most popular exfoliating skincare products. There are different kinds of scrubs designed for different skin types. Let us take a closer look at natural and effective facial scrubs for oily skin.
A lot of people associate natural cosmetics with DIY cosmetics. Homemade face scrubs do have a number of perks, but they have some disadvantages as well. First, DIY scrubs have a very short shelf life. Taking into account that skin typically needs exfoliation once a week, you'll have to make a new portion of scrub every time you need to exfoliate. Second, homemade scrubs usually contain salt, sugar, or ground coffee as exfoliating agents. Salt and sugar crystals can damage your skin, while ground coffee won't do much for oily skin.
Luckily, natural cosmetics don't have to be homemade. A lot of manufacturers offer natural and organic face scrubs that are made with herbal ingredients. These scrubs are safe and effective, they cleanse and condition oily skin without damaging it, help to restore the optimal hydro-lipid balance, make skin smoother and improve complexion.
Oily skin needs special care. Due to increased sebum secretion, oily skin is thicker than normal or dry skin and has larger pores. It is prone to blackheads, white bumps, acne and inflammation. It starts looking shiny only an hour or two after cleansing and usually appears greasy by midday. That is why oily skin needs regular deep cleansing using a scrub designed for this skin type. While normal and dry skin need exfoliation only once a week, oily skin might need it twice a week to remove dirt, grime and dead cells.
Scrubs for oily skin are different from scrubs for other skin types. They typically have a lighter texture and contain rougher exfoliating particles than, for example, scrubs for dry skin. However, a high-quality facial scrub shouldn't be too rough. Natural scrubs are formulated with herbal extracts that help to regulate sebum secretion. Here are several natural scrubs for oily skin that are worth trying out.
