The main advantage of home care products is their completely natural composition. They do not contain the harmful chemicals found in most commercial products. A facial scrub at home made from familiar products, oils and herbs has a positive effect on the overall condition of the skin. A big plus is the variety of recipes and the availability of ingredients used.
The effect of home scrubs
Before you make a natural homemade facial scrub, you need to study many recipes - they are for different skin types. Most of the formulations are intended for:
- Renewal of skin cells and elimination of dead layer;
- Regeneration and rejuvenation;
- Deep or gentle cleansing;
- Food;
- Moisturizing;
- Face and neck massage;
- Improvement of skin health in adolescents;
- Improves blood circulation and complexion for different age categories (40 years, 50 years, etc.).
Some products have a lifting effect - they tighten the oval of the face, make the skin elastic and remove oily shine. They help remove small wrinkles and also make deep folds on the skin less noticeable.
As a result of regular use of scrubbing compositions, the functioning of the sebaceous glands is normalized. Due to this, acne is reduced, comedones and blackheads disappear. The main thing is to choose a product whose components will not cause an allergic reaction.
Principles of preparation and rules for using facial scrubs
When making scrubbing products, you need to consider the following rules:
- Use only fresh ingredients;
- Try not to stockpile the product for future use, prepare a portion for one time;
- Grind the abrasive particles as much as possible so as not to damage the skin;
- If sugar and salt are used as cleaning particles, then most of the grains should dissolve during the cooking process;
- It is not advisable to heat honey-based products, otherwise the vitamins contained in the product will be destroyed;
- To soften the rough base, you can use base and essential oils.
How to make a facial scrub at home
A homemade face scrub should consist of two parts - a cream (oil) base and an abrasive component.
The first component is used to combine the composition and as a nutritional agent. Solid particles help the skin cleanse itself of dead cells and impurities, open and cleanse pores, allowing beneficial microelements to penetrate deeply into the skin.
Preparing homemade scrubs is very simple - just mix all the ingredients according to the suggested recipe. Some ingredients used need to be ground beforehand. It is important to know the sensitivity of your skin: the consistency of the product that is suitable depends on this.
The main ingredients of facial scrubs and their effects
The main components for preparing the scrub are natural yoghurts and other fermented milk products, milk, essential oils, fruit juices and purees, which help the skin receive a set of healthy vitamins and microelements.
Any solid particles can be used as abrasive particles: ground coffee, eggshells, sugar, salt, herbs, algae, flour, nut shells, fruit seeds, etc. It is important to consider that the smaller the particles, the more delicate their impact. The use of cereals is allowed; aspirin is often used in the formulations.
Skin preparation
Before use, skin should be washed and cleansed with a suitable cosmetic cleanser. To penetrate beneficial substances not only into the epidermis, but also deeper, it is advisable to steam your face over a steam bath or with a hot towel. It is important that the pores are as open as possible.
How to properly apply and rinse off the scrub
The composition is applied to the face in a circular motion along massage lines in the following directions:
- from the tip of the nose along the wings to the area between the eyebrows;
- from the middle of the forehead to the temporal region, while the fingers should move parallel to the eyebrows;
- from the corners of the mouth, center of the chin and nose to the ears.
Do not apply the product to thin skin around the eyes and lips. It is advisable to carry out pressing massage movements for 3–5 minutes and no longer.
After using the scrub, any residue should be washed off with warm or cool water. Hot water should not be used, otherwise the skin will become irritated. The face should be treated with tonic. You can also apply a nourishing mask or rich cream.
Favorite Meela Meelo: “Terrible Force” mask and “Moidodyr” scrub mask
When about a year and a half ago the RuNet was flooded with reviews and testimonials about Meela Meelo natural skincare cosmetics, I couldn’t resist.
First, I got acquainted with the masks - “Marsh Beauty”, “Witch’s Potion” and “Minty-Crushed”. Then there were other products, other masks... Now I am a real fan of the brand - it seems to me that it is impossible not to love these cosmetics. First, natural ingredients. Secondly, handmade. Thirdly, as well as fourthly, fifthly, etc. — I just love Meela Meelo — that’s all!
Today I want to talk about two new products for 2020: the “Terrible Force” mask and the “Moidodyr” scrub-mask.
Yes, yes, the brand’s creatives don’t eat their bread in vain - the names are always very funny and unusual, and therefore memorable 
So, “Terrible Power” Face Mask with blackcurrant berries, vitamin E and natural lactic acid
Designed for normal and combination skin, it promises to cleanse, refresh and intensively moisturize facial skin.
The composition is natural, as befits a brand that positions itself as a manufacturer of natural handmade cosmetics.
Some people criticize Meela Meelo for its too simple design, but I really like these small jars. By the way, this year there have been small changes: firstly, a protective membrane has appeared, guaranteeing that no one has opened the product before you, and secondly, for convenience, a thread has appeared on the lid.
This mask evokes an appetite with its entire appearance: the consistency of an airy soufflé of a beautiful purple color has a pleasant, “delicious” aroma of vanilla and berries. It's a pleasure to use this!
I apply it to the skin with a brush, although, in principle, you can do it with your hands, and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. At first, the skin tingles a little - literally for a few seconds, so you need to be more careful when pre-cleansing, not like me. After washing off, the skin is a little red - I think this is caused by the acids. Then the redness goes away and the skin of the face is smooth and smooth to the touch. Blackheads lighten, inflammations dry out - while the drying is local, spreading specifically to problem areas without affecting the rest of the surface. But, annoyingly, I don’t notice any intense hydration, although overall I feel comfortable. In principle, I was counting more on cleansing.
In summary: “Terrible Power” is an excellent express remedy that can accumulate effects.
Rating: 5 -. Price: 476 rubles on the official Meela Meelo website (direct link to the mask).
Facial scrub-mask “Moidodyr” with bamboo wood powder, natural menthol and lactic acid
This scrub-mask is created for normal and combination skin, designed for deep cleansing, intensive smoothing and radiance of the skin.
Compound:
Its aroma is reminiscent of another Meela Meelo mask - “Mint-Kneaded” - it also smells of vanilla and menthol. Pleasant sweet and refreshing scent.
“Moidodyr” turns out to be a light creamy mass of gray-green color with many small scrubbing particles in its consistency - it seems that this is the declared bamboo wood powder.
I apply the scrub mask to cleansed skin for a couple of minutes, then gently massage my facial skin and wash off the mask. Sometimes I can leave it for a little longer. After use, the skin is more even and fresh, soft and smooth to the touch. Overall, I get what I should get from a decent scrub. In addition, menthol pleasantly refreshes and cools the skin, which is especially important in the summer.
The impact of scrubbing particles, although intense, is not harsh. However, I would like to point out that if you have sensitive skin, I think you need to look at something else . In addition, my favorite menthol may also not be a gift for this type of skin.
Of course, the effect is not prolonged, so every time you want to feel smooth, soft, fresh and even skin, you will have to take out Moidodyr. However, this is how all scrubs work.
In conclusion: I definitely recommend it to all lovers of scrubs and high-quality, tangible cleansing!
Rating: 5. Price: 494 rubles on the official Meela Meelo website (direct link to the scrub mask).
