Homemade Walnut Scrub Recipe For Glowing Face

 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

Take a small quantity of the scrub in your fingertips and start scrubbing from your jawline gradually moving upwards. Gently scrub your face for not more than 7 minutes. Leave the scrub for 5 more minutes then rinse off.

This all natural homemade walnut  Scrub for face will exfoliate the skin, make it fresh and clean, remove dead cells from the surface of the skin and Amla will tighten the pores. Throughout your scrubbing session you will enjoy the lovely fragrance of Vanilla Essential Oil.

The DIY Oatmeal Walnut Scrub Recipe

I have already shared a recipe for body scrub recipe with oatmeal, but I never had used it in a face scrub, having done it now I am sure to use is again.

It is very simple to make unlike the previous one which required some extra effort for working up the walnut shells. In this recipe I am using slightly coarsely ground walnut.

The ingredients are

  • 1/2 cup of Oatmeal
  • 1/2 cup of ground walnut Safflower Oil or any carrier oil of your choice ,Sesame, sweet Almond Oil, Olive oil all will do just perfect.
  • 1 Capsule of Vitamin E Oil

Mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, squeeze out the content of one Vitamin E capsule into the mixture and blend it all once again, transfer the batch to a jar and dont forget to label it. Massage this scrub on your face and neck and then wash off. Apply moisturizer after it.
