There's nothing that can give your skin that fresh glow of youth more quickly than removing dead skin cells from the skin's surface. This process known as exfoliation allows the fresh, underlying skin cells that reflect the light to be uncovered and adds a soft pink color to your skin. Your skin looks younger and softer to the touch. If you want to get the beautiful effects of skin exfoliation, don't rush out and buy an expensive exfoliator scrub when you can make one quickly and easily at home. When you make your own homemade face exfoliator, you'll know the ingredients are gentle and natural with no harsh chemicals added.

One of the best exfoliator scrubs can be made quickly using some almonds and a blender or food processor. This gentle exfoliator containers fatty acids and vitamin E which will nourish and protect your skin from the elements while gently removing the excess dead skin cells that make your beautiful complexion look dull.

To make this homemade face exfoliator, take several handfuls of fresh almonds and add them to a food processor or blender. Use the pulse feature of your blender to grind the almonds into a fine powder by pulsing for a few seconds, stopping, and then repeating. By using the pulse feature and pausing between pulses, you'll get a fine almond powder which is your goal. Once you have the powder, transfer it to a glass jar until you're ready to use it to exfoliate.

To use the almond powder as an exfoliator scrub, place a small amount in your hand and sprinkle warm water on top. Use the tips of your fingers to gently work the scrub in a circular, clockwise motion around your face, avoiding the delicate skin around your eyes. Keep working in a clockwise motion until you've completed two turns around your face. Use warm water and a washcloth to remove any excess almond exfoliator scrub. Finish with a cold water rinse to refresh your skin and add even more glow. Apply a light layer of your regular moisturizer.

How does your skin look? It should be radiant and glowing with a smooth texture. This homemade face exfoliator is gentle enough to be used up to several times per week for smoother looking skin. Try using it before a party or other special occasion to allow your makeup to go on smoother. It's an inexpensive treatment that will bring out the natural beauty of your complexion.
