Facial scrub i can make at home?

I had a few pimples on my forehead and used some acne stuff to get rid of them, but now the skin around them is peeling. ive been picking it off but just want some kind of facial scrub i can make at home to help the process. does anyone know good recipes?Facial scrub i can make at home?
I like to add sugar to my regular face cleanser when I'm out of scrub- it exfoliates gently. Honey, yogurt, strawberries and other things found in the kitchen are said to be good for your skin, but I've never tried.


Here's a link to About.com's article about the subject: http://acne.about.com/b/2008/10/06/homem鈥?/a>


Poke around the website, I think you'll find something useful.Facial scrub i can make at home?
Banana Scrub


INGREDIENTS


1 ripe banana


3 tablespoons granulated sugar


录 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or your favorite essential oil (optional)





Mash ingredients together with a fork into a chunky paste. Do not overmix or it will become too watery. If you want a banana scrub for your face, reserve some of the banana and mash it separately without sugar.





In the shower, before turning the water on, slather the sugar mixture and gently massage over your body. For your face, gently massage plain banana there, avoiding the eye area.





Rinse off with warm water.
