FACIAL SCRUB WITHIN MY REACH
Hi lil Candy Monstersss!!!
Previously, I blogged about Coffee Scrub and the wonders it does.. Smells great too! But I wouldn't recommend it for facial use but ofcourse if you wanna do it then by all means you guys can do it. Today, I'm gonna share with you guys my facial scrub. Let's get started!
All you need to have is:
Brown Sugar is used as an exfoliate that gently cleanse the skin without any residue that can clog pores that leads to breakouts & blemishes. It contains glycolic acid & it serves as a dual purpose by tightening pores & adding moisture to the skin leaving it smooth & and soft.
Olive Oil contains 77% Monounsaturated fatty acids, 14% Saturated fatty acids and 9% Polyunsaturated fatty acids and Vitamin E. It is great to use as skin moisturizer, exfoliator, nail and cuticle care, eye make-up remover and great for hair care!
Sweet Almond Oil is a rich source of Vitamin E, A & B with regular use will reduce wrinkles and will make you look younger & radiant.
Honey is beneficial due to the antibacterial, high potassium, antioxidant and antiseptic properties which honey contains and have a similar effect to that of hydrogen peroxide, so honey on skin enables your pores to shrink without drying out the skin. Plus it's a natural Humectant. Moisturizes & hydrates your skin.
All you need to do is take a bowl mix 2 tbsp of brown sugar with 1 tsp of Olive Oil and be sure that it's EVOO, 1 tsp of Sweet Almond Oil (but you can skip this if you don't have) & 1 tsp of honey. Mix well. You must have a thick consistency and not too oily. I've experimented with different measurements and this one suits me fine. Now it this measurement is not good enough for you, you can go ahead and alter some. Just make sure that you don't pour too much EVOO. You should get a consistency like this:
I make small batches only. You don't really need alot. Now that you have your facial scrub, go the shower and enjoy your all natural, home made and inexpensive facial scrub! It's also a great lip scrub which I do too! You'll love it! Ofcourse after doing my facial scrub I wash it off and use my black soap.
Happy Scrubbing Candies!
Much Love,
Ivy ♥
