DIY Walnut Facial Scrub Recipe
Walnut and Apricot scrubs are the most popular scrubs available in the market sold by several brands so I just thought if I could blend a homemade version of walnut scrub. After a lot of contemplation I gave it a try and the result was quite good. I picked up a few of my favorite ingredients and put them all together and the result was this fragrant scrub. While going through the ingredients of one popular walnut scrub brand I was amazed to see that the walnut scrub did not contain the nut but the particles were actually of the shell. Here in this recipe of homemade walnut scrub we will be making use of both walnut paste and walnut shells to reveal that supple, clean glowing skin hiding under the dead cells, makeup residue and settled dirt.
Why Use DIY Walnut Scrub On Face
Walnuts or Akhrots are loaded with Omega-3 fatty acids which helps the skin to retain moisture, by locking in the moisture this scrub helps you achieve that wrinkle free skin you ever longed for. Walnuts also contain Vitamin E which is an antioxidant that will make the skin soft and supple. The EFA in the walnuts also help in combating inflammation and other skin problems like Acne and Psoriasis. I hope now you realize why commercial walnut scrubs are so popular.

The Recipe For Making Homemade Walnut Scrub For Clean Glowing Skin
First step in the making of this DIY facial scrub is the preparation of our prime ingredient which happens to be walnut shells in this case. Grind walnut shells till you get fine particles, do not make it into a fine powder as we are preparing a scrub here and not a face pack. Mix it with honey preferably raw honey, walnut paste and add the Amla juice (Indian Gooseberry juice). Amla juice is known to have anti ageing properties and it also tightens the pores. The best way to use Amla for glowing skin is drinking Amla juice every morning empty stomach.
Coming back to the scrub, once you have mixed all the three ingredients very well pour the mixture into a jar, now finally add few drops of Vanilla essential oil and stir to blend the oil in your walnut scrub.
How To Use Homemade Walnut Face Scrub
