Facials have become an increasing favorite amongst both women and men, and here lately even more so doing your own facial andmaking your own scrub. A popular facial scrub is the sugar scrub with a tomato. Facial scrubs are really a vital part of the routine youshould have when taking care of your skin… they bring exfoliation to the face and will have you feeling better about yourself and your skin.

The Benefits

There are many benefits to the sugar scrub with tomato. The combination of these two ingredients makes a nice effective exfoliating scrubthat you will enjoy. The sugar serves as the main scrub portion. It will remove the dead skin cells and it will also regenerate fresh new skincells. The tomato has a potent and rich antioxidant that is very helpful to the skin. It also has tiny particles; when they are applied to theface, the particles are easily absorbed through the skin. When the tomato pulp is crushed and then combined with the sugar more of thepotent and rich antioxidant is released and the new fresh skin will absorb those antioxidants more quickly, eliminating other things that mayharm the skin.

How to make it

To make the sugar facial scrub with a tomato is really simple. The only ingredients you need are onemedium or large (depending on the amount of facial scrub you want) tomato and one- threetablespoons of granulated sugar. You will also need a side plate, a chopping board, a sharp knife and afacial brush if you choose to use one.

The steps to making the sugar facial scrub are fairly easy and goes as follows. First you cut the top ofthe tomato off; you will later use the top for the scrubber pad; when you cut the top off make sure youdo not cut it to thin. Next you want to put the sugar on the side plate and spread it with the back of thespoon. You then want to take the top of the tomato that you have cut off and dip it in the sugar that’s onthe plate. After this you want to twist the tomato top around in a circular motion to get an even coatingon the tomato top. Once this is done, dampen your face and then gently scrub thesugar coated tomato top in a small circular motion starting at the forehead. Move downand around your face making sure to hit the mouth, nose, chin, face and neck. If youchoose to use a facial brush it can now be used to go over the face for an extrabenefit. After this is done relax for ten minutes, rinse off and pat the skin dry. Afteryou’ve done the sugar facial scrub with tomato you can apply your moisturizer. This isa very important step after you’ve used the sugar and tomato scrub. Moisturizingrehydrates your skin and also will bring nourishment to your newly regenerated skincells. Moisture is then locked into these cells which will give your skin a wonderfullyyouthful look.
