Whether your skin is oily or dry you need to exfoliate it once in a while to get rid of dead cells. Harsh abrasive scrubs are not suitable for extremely flaky, dry skins. Dry skins need mild scrubs such as these. The presence of yoghurt in these scrubs makes them gentle and less coarse on dry skins. Use them once in two weeks (a month if your skin is too dry) and watch your face glow. # Scrub 1

Dry Orange peel powder 1 tsp
Dry Lemon peel powder 1 tsp
Yoghurt (curds) 2 tbsp

# Scrub 2
Ingredients:
Oat meal powder 1 tsp
Yoghurt 2 tsp
Method:
Blend the two ingredients and massage the paste onto your face. Keep it on for 5 minutes and then wash off with cold water.
