Get A Glowing Complexion Now!!!! As promised earlier, today I’d continue with a few of my easy to make at home DIY face scrub. However, please be aware that these scrubs can also be used as body scrubs, so you can make them in larger batches. Usually homemade body scrubs aren’t suitable for face bcause either they have more oil or they contain harsher exfoliating particles which render them unsuitable for use on thinner sensitive skin on face but not the otherwise. If you keep the oil content in check & also ‘tone down’ the scrubbing particles a little bit, such scrubs will multitask as both: face & body scrub well. This is the tricky part because there are some scrubbing particles that can’t be toned down like baking soda. In that case, add them in a smaller quantity & rub less on sensitive body parts.

Scrubbing exfoliates the skin mechanically but exfoliation can be done by both techniques: mechanically & chemically. Scrubbing is literally mechanical exfoliation. By definition, scrubbing refers to the technique in which coarse particles are rubbed against the skin to mobilize the dead cells on the upper layer of the skin, called the stratum corneum of the epidermis to reveal fresh inner skin. But scrubbing, is a very superficial procedure, whereas exfoliation

Let's Talk About Oily Skin So far managing my super oily skin has been the biggest concern. As I was struggling with this, I was also facing a few pimples here & there. Luckily I’ve never had massive acne to deal with but as usual, day by day, due to hormonal reasons (as I was on pills due to PCOS) it was getting harder & harder to manage the excessive sebum secretion which indirectly led me to research a bit about managing oily skin. No matter how meticulously I’d cleanse my skin, oil comes back after an hour & it’s the same again. For a person like me, who was blessed with a rather non problematic skin during her teenage years & thought it was over, had to face a nasty oily skin in adulthood. I was searching for my answers to doctor google & to people I thought was qualified enough but I didn’t realize the thing before I took up biotechnology as my major in graduation. This new era slowly introduced me to the life sys
