Hey Lildreamer, need your skincare advice
Is there a way to make my own microdermabrasion scrub?

I love the feel of my face using these things about 2x/week. But even the at home ones you can buy in the drug store are $$$$ over time.

1. there are many recipes for facial scrubs
http://www.flawlesscomplexion.com/scrubs.html

Strawberry Facial Scrub:

Make a mixture of 1 tsp brown sugar and 2 mashed strawberries.
Brown sugar will remove dead cells and strawberries are going
to make your skin baby-soft.


Sea-salt and Olive Oil Facial Scrub:

1 tsp olive oil ( cold pressed ) and 1/2 tsp sea salt applied gently to a wet face
will not only remove dead cells, but it will also improve micro-circulation.
Olive oil is going to nourish the skin, leaving it incredibly soft.

Cucumber Facial Scrub:

Blend 1 tsp honey with ¼ medium peeled cucumber.
Mix the ingredients in a blender until smooth and
add a small amount of water if needed.
Strain the mixture and remove the vegetable and honey mixture into a small bowl.
Add the following mixed meals to the liquid: 1 teaspoon almond meal,
1 teaspoon ground oatmeal, 1 teaspoon sunflower seed meal,
1 teaspoon wheat germ.


Honey Cleansing Scrub:

Mix 1 tablespoon honey with 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice and 2 tsp ground almonds.
Rub gently onto face. Rinse off with warm water.

2. Thanks for those
I know there are a lot of DIY facial scrubs. That's why I was specifically looking for the microdermabrasion, which I do use. It usually has aluminum crystals, sodium bicarbonate and something else.
