5 Simple Exfoliating Face Scrubs
1. Tomato
Tomato awakens dull skin, reduce pores and blackheads. All you need is a tomato, that’s right. Cut into half and use it to scrub your face. Leave for 15 minutes, and then rinse with warm water.
2. Honey and Brown sugar
Honey has natural healing properties and when mixed with sugar can be used to exfoliate the skin.
- Honey (1 tablespoon)
- Sugar (1 tablespoon)
Mix the ingredients in a bowl. Rub the mixture on your face and neck for one minute and rinse off with warm water. Pat dry and then apply your moisturiser.
3. Olive oil, Lemon and Sugar
Olive oil, as well as lemon, are antioxidants that will help exfoliate the skin to clear up skin issues such as blackheads and acne.
- Olive oil (1 tablespoon)
- Brown sugar (2 tablespoons)
- Lemon Juice (1 tablespoon)
Mix the ingredients in a bowl. In a circular motion, rub the mixture on your face and neck for one minute and rinse off with warm water. Pat dry and then apply your moisturiser.
The reason for rinsing off after one minute is due to the high acidity in lemon which can cause skin irritation, so this method should be used in moderation.
4. Oat flour, Milk and Cinnamon
Oat is known to be good for the skin because it has antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that can help with skin issues. You can make your oat flour using a blender or food processor. For a simple guide on how to make your oat flour, check out my active kitchen.
- Oat flour (1 tablespoon)
- Milk (2 tablespoons)
- Cinnamon (½ teaspoon)
Mix the ingredients. Gently apply on your face, leave on the skin for 15-20 minutes or until it gets dry and then rinse with warm water. Pat dry and then apply your moisturiser.
5. Coconut Oil and Brown Sugar
Coconut oil is beneficial for the skin because of its health-promoting properties.
- Sugar (1 tablespoon)
- Coconut oil (1 tablespoon)
Mix in a small bowl. Apply gently on your face and neck in a circular motion for one minute. Then rinse with warm water and apply your moisturiser.

I am not big on skin care routines but these seem like easy assessible ingredients and I will definitely try some of it.
I remember once I tried the sugar and olive oil scrub with my sister, my face felt lighter and fresher and the next day one pimple appeared. It was so funny.
