Facial bumps are definitely my most annoying skin problem especially on my forehead and cheeks but I recently discovered a way to clear them and it has helped me over the past few weeks.

Facial bumps are little bumps that are caused when excess sebum (naturally produced oil by your skin), dirt and dead skin cells clog the pores on the face. This causes the bumpy textured areas on your face.


Now I'm sure you are probably thinking, but you wash it everyday yet you still have those bumps, what are you doing wrong? You really aren't doing anything wrong, the only thing is that cleansers are able to get rid of the sebum and dirt but what about the dead skin cells?? You can't wash off dead skin cells so this is where exfoliation comes into play.


Exfoliation involves the removal of the oldest dead skin cells on the skins outermost layer. Exfoliation has a lot of benefits like

- it increases blood circulation

- helps to achieve healthy and glowing skin

- helps to reduce breakouts by keeping pores unclogged

- helps to brighten your complexion


Some people may be thinking more money to spend on skin care products but there are actually a ton of DIY face scrub recipes so here are a few.

-Feel free to screenshot them for easy access-


HOW TO USE

1. Wash your face with a cleanser of your choice

2. Exfoliate using any of the recipes or a store bought scrub

3. Tone your skin

4. Moisturize with a moisturizer of your choice


NOTE

-Please don't use any scrub that makes use of ingredients you are allergic to

-Always conduct a patch test to see if you react to the face scrub

-Exfoliate 1-2 times a week (continuous exfoliation can lead to tearing of the skin)


Thanks for reading and I hope you try exfoliating your skin!
