Tea Tree Coconut Oil Sugar Scrub For Your Face

Tea Tree Coconut Oil Sugar Scrub For Your Face

Some people are constantly at war with their skin. Those with dry skin face challenges that others don’t, and it is difficult to find the right products that moisturize and exfoliate gently. The average face wash may cause extra dryness and certain moisturizers may cause excess oil production. Where is the happy medium? Well, it may be the sugar scrub recipe in this article. 

Before we continue, it’s important to note that some people do not encourage the use of sugar scrubs on facial skin. Exfoliation does play a key role in cleaning out pores and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. However, sugar crystals can be too abrasive for people that have sensitive skin, leading to micro tears in the skin. The sugar scrub may have more benefits on other areas of the body. 

If you have sensitive skin, you can experiment with this sugar scrub in a small area to see how it affects your skin. If you find that it is too intense for your facial skin, consider experimenting with other exfoliating alternatives that help get rid of dead skin cells. Keep in mind that the scrub in this recipe does have ingredients that work to nourish and moisturize the skin. Read on to learn more about them. 

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is essentially fat extracted from raw coconuts or dried coconut flakes. As a result, coconut oil has valuable emollient properties that are extremely beneficial for certain sky types, for example, those with dry or dry-to-normal skin. The nourishing fatty acids may help hydrate and protect the skin from environmental threats. These acids include lauric acid, which exhibits antibacterial properties, and linoleic acid, which helps the skin retain moisture. People with dry or flaky skin may have better success moisturizing with coconut oil than traditional moisturizers. Additionally, coconut oil works to reduce inflammation and encourage collagen production, which can help your facial skin maintain firmness and elasticity. One thing to note is that if you have acne prone skin, you may not want to use coconut oil, as it can clog pores and lead to acne development. 

Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil can help benefit the skin in myriad ways, and it may even improve symptoms of chronic skin conditions. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties in tea tree oil may help to fight acne, or the redness associated with it. One study involved 14 participants with acne and they used tea tree oil with a carrier oil twice per day for 12 weeks. Researchers found that tea tree oil helped reduce the total number of acne lesions. The ability to decrease inflammation may also relieve dryness that results from irritation. 

Sugar

Sugar is an excellent exfoliator, but not for every skin type. It works to remove dead skin cells and can help give the skin a natural glow by cleaning out pores. Some studies suggest that the use of sugar scrubs may reduce early signs of aging. Sugar does not allow toxins to attack your skin cells, ultimately slowing down the aging process. Regular granulated sugar tends to work well, but brown sugar may be better for sensitive skin because it is the finest and least abrasive.

  • 1/2 cup organic coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup sugar (brown or white)
