Before you start, tie your hair back and rinse your face with water. If you’re in the shower, stand for a few minutes and let your face gather the steam from the hot water. If you aren’t in the shower, press a warm cloth to your skin. This helps to open up your pores.

Apply the scrub to your face (avoiding the eyes), wait a few minutes and then rinse off. When rinsing, you could use a facial loofah or sponge, scrubbing softly in circles. Finally, splash your face with water and you’re all done!

ALMOND OATMEAL SCRUB RECIPE

1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp dried chamomile
1/4 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup sliced almonds

Throw all the ingredients in a blender until they are a fine powder, then pour into a container or jar. When you are ready to use, mix a small handful in the palm of your hand with some water and smooth into a paste.

STRAWBERRY & BROWN SUGAR SCRUB RECIPE

1 large strawberry
1 tbsp oil
2/3 cup brown sugar

Sift the brown sugar into a bowl so it is fine and not clumpy. Chop the strawberry up and add it to the bowl. Using a fork, mash the sugar and strawberry together, adding the oil as you go, until it forms a paste.

NOTE: When making a scrub that involves sugar, take extra care to rinse off every last drop, or the sugar may irritate your skin and cause acne.

HONEY & LEMON FACIAL SCRUB

1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
1.5 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp honey
