Newbie Tuesday: How to turn your facial cleanser into an exfoliating facial cleanser
So you've made a facial cleanser you really like. What's next" Let's turn it into an exfoliating cleanser! There are two ways we can exfoliate - using chemical exfoliants or physical exfoliants.
Physical exfoliants are ingredients like loofah, jojoba beads, sugar, salt, fruit seeds, and anything that removes dead skin by abrading it. For facial products, we want to stick to less scratchy things like jojoba beads, baking soda, clay, dermabrasion crystals, or bamboo exfoliating powder, to name a few things.
As we're making a water based product, anything that can dissolve or become water logged is right out, so leave out the sugar, salt, coffee grounds, shells, baking soda, and some seeds.
Okay, you could create a saturated solution of dissolved salt or sugar in your container, then add more as that additional amount wouldn't dissolve, but you'd be left with a cleanser so salty or sticky, you'd hate it. If you want to try it for super happy chemistry time fun, let me know! (Check out this link on solubility to learn more!)
There are a few great choices for a scrub...
Jojoba beads: These are little spheres of jojoba that come in different colours and different sizes. The smaller ones are suitable for your face, the larger ones for the rest of your body. I tend to use the 60/100 in a facial product. I've used them at up to 5% in a product, but you will have to tinker to see what you like. These don't dissolve in water or oil, but they can melt, so don't use...
