  What does the cinnamon scrub do?

  

  The cinnamon scrub helps to reduce pimples, helps in removal of dark spots, and softens your skin.

  After a shower at night. The hot water from the shower will soften the top layer of your skin and make it easier for the scrub to clean out the pores.

  This facial scrub can be used for whether it be blackheads, pores, and even acne.

• Question

  How long should the honey and cinnamon facial scrub last?

  

  It should last for about 1/2 uses depending on how much you use. Overall, you should aim to use about a tablespoon of the scrub for good results; using too little will have no result.

  Which is best, white or brown sugar?

  

  Brown sugar has more moisture so white sugar is the best way to go for a facial scrub. Brown sugar works better for lip scrubs.

• Question

  What brand of yogurt should I use?

  

  I would say unflavored Greek yogurt because it is usually all natural with no chemicals or artificial flavors.

• Question

  Is the toothpaste and salt scrub a good one?

  

  Toothpaste isn't good for your skin. All of the other scrubs in this article are better. Avoid using things on your face that aren't either natural or specifically made for use on the face.

• Question

  Would any of these methods help with dry, scaly, bumpy skin on my face?

  

  They can help to an extent. Moisturizing is very important. I would recommend talking to your doctor as well, they may be able to prescribe something more effective.

• Question

  Which is the best-suited scrub for oily and acne-prone skin?

  

  Out of the ones in this article, probably the yogurt, since it's not really a scrub - it exfoliates chemically with the lactic acid in the yogurt rather than physically with hard particles. Chemical exfoliation is gentler and more effective for most skin types, and especially for acne-prone skin, as actual scrubbing of acne-prone skin can further inflame the skin and cause more acne for some people. You can also try the honey and cinnamon one if you want, since cinnamon is pretty soft, and honey (especially manuka honey or organic honey) can help heal acne.
