Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Face Scrub that Exfoliates Skin with Coffee

The skin is the outermost organ in the body and is immediately exposed to pro-oxidants such chemicals, UV radiation, and air pollution on a daily basis. Recent years have seen a rise in the popularity of herbal face scrubs because they are inexpensive and can enhance skin health. Exfoliation is the process of eliminating the dead, old skin cells from the skin's outermost layer. It increases the skin's ability to absorb and hold onto moisturizing ingredients while restoring its natural moisture content. The current study's objective is to create and assess a herbal face scrub that uses exfoliating compounds. Natural elements found in these scrubs, like turmeric, neem powder, coffee powder, and sandalwood powder, exfoliate, brighten, and guard against free radical damage. Glycerine and tea tree oil are used to moisturize and nourish the skin. The scrub that has been prepared includes. a number of natural substances with antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory qualities that are safer to use and have fewer negative effects.
