These are few of the best homemade natural scrubs. Scrub your facial skin to remove dead skin cells at least twice a week. Dry skin needs scrubbing thrice a week. But make sure you do not scrub more than thrice a week. After scrubbing or exfoliating your skin, it’s extremely important to moisturize your skin properly else it’ll become dry. Many people skip this part feeling their skin became smooth and it doesn’t need further moisture which isn’t true. Although after exfoliation, your skin feels soft, it’s not moisture you are feeling on your skin. So, scrub and then moisturize your skin twice to thrice a week and keep your skin clean and healthy.
