Throughout the year, our skin goes through changes and is forced to adapt to the revolving seasons so to keep our skin smooth and bright all year round, we must exfoliate regularly. Give any one of these simple scrubs below a try and let us know how they worked for you!.

Baking soda scrub
The range of what baking soda can do just seems to be getting wider and wider. It can freshen the air, remove stains, clean showers and sinks and trigger explosions in science fair volcanoes. Oh, yes, we can use it to bake too. But there is one more non-food-related use to add to baking soda’s resume: face exfoliant. The grains in baking soda are just the right size to act as a gentle exfoliant, and many claim that it has helped clear up acne.
Ingredients:
- Baking soda
- Facial cleanser
- Water
Directions:
- Mix baking soda with your facial cleanser to make it an exfoliating cleanser. (You can also make a paste of just baking soda and water.)
- Gently rub it onto your skin and leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing off.
