Abrasive scrubs are readily available in stores, but they can be expensive. They may also contain alcohol which can dry your face, and preservatives that can irritate your skin. Making your own scrub allows you the option to customize the ingredients to suit your skin type, budget and preference. Plus, making a scrub at home is simple!

Brown Sugar Benefits for Facial Skin

Using brown sugar in your face scrub can give you a variety of benefits. Brown sugar is a natural ingredient which can be used to exfoliate dead skin cells from your face, leaving it glowing and smooth.

Brown sugar also helps rejuvenate the skin by bringing back its elasticity. The antioxidants in brown sugar help tighten sagging skin and reduce wrinkles on your face, making you look younger and more vibrant. Brown sugar has been used for centuries in many countries around the world because of these benefits.

In addition to all this wonderful nourishment, brown sugar is an extremely cost-effective product to use in a facial scrub.

Coconut Oil Benefits for Facial Skin

Coconut oil is an effective moisturizer that can help restore dry or flaky skin. It’s a powerful moisturizer, which works differently than other moisturizers that contain a lot water and possibly synthetic ingredients. It also has the ability to penetrate your skin quickly and remove dead skin cells, helping to prevent wrinkles from forming. Coconut oil contains Vitamin E, which soothes skin conditions like sunburn, eczema and psoriasis. It also has antiviral, antifungal, and insect bite treatment benefits.

What Does “Comedogenic” Mean?

The American Academy of Dermatology defines a "comedo", which is a hard blockage caused by excess sebum in the pore. This can cause pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads. "Comedogenic" is a term that refers to products or ingredients that are known to have a tendency or ability to block pores or promote comedones (plural for comedo), also known as acne.

The comedogenic ratings indicate how oils and emollients can clog pores. In simpler terms, comedogenic oils tend to have more tendency to cause or aggravate acne, and blackheads are more likely to be caused by non-comedogenic oils.

The Comedogenic Rating System

Ever wonder why one product leaves your skin feeling oily and another doesn't? It all has to do with the comedogenic rating of a product. Comedogenicity is a measure of how likely a substance is to clog pores and cause acne. By understanding the comedogenic rating system, you can make more informed choices about which products are best for your skin type. Keep reading to learn more!

• 0 - Will not Clog Pores
• 1 – Low
• 2 – Moderately Low
• 3 - Moderate
• 4 - Fairly High
• 5 - High likelihood it will clog pores

If you have sensitive skin or acne prone skin, it is better to stick with a comedogenic score of 1 or 0.

COCONUT OIL: Level 4

SHEA BUTTER: Level 0

Shea Butter has a comedogenic score of 0. This makes it an excellent alternative for people with acne-prone skin. You can substitute it for the coconut oil in the vegan face scrub recipe. Shea oil is a skin superfood made from the seeds of the Shea (Karite tree) fruit.
