Rose water is added here to calm down the skin.

Using lemon on dry skin is a tricky job. It might dry out your skin more if not used in a proper way with proper base.

Oily Skin Scrub Recipes

Not just improper maintenance, even regularly been cleansed and maintained skin has dead cells covered. This is all because of the dirt, pollution and oiliness. Oily skin types are hard to maintain in summers, hence they needed to be scrubbed off at least twice a weak to maintain an even complexion. Honey, milk powder or these kind of nourishing ingredients are not for your oily skin as they may increase the oil secretion and aggravate those angry pimples.

Scrub for 5 minutes and allow the mixture for more two minutes and wash off with plenty of cold water. Rice powder acts as a dead cell and tan removing scrub while the lemon juice naturally whitens skin.

• Tomatoes can also do the trick on oily skin types. Simply puree a tomato and add two teaspoons of grounded oats to it. Blend this mixture well and spread on your facial and neck skin. Scrub gently for a while and wash off. This scrub not only removes the dead skin cells, but also clarifies your skin and improves the natural complexion. Regular usage would result in spot free, patch free radiant skin!
