CREATE YOUR OWN SCRUBS
FACE & BODY EXFOLIATORS CAN BE COSTLY & FILLED WITH LABORATORY-CONCOCTED INGREDIENTS. MAKING YOUR OWN NATURAL EXFOLIATORS IS EASY & CAN SAVE YOU A TON OF MONEY. HERE ARE "TWO" EASY EXFOLIATOR "RECIPES" FOR YOU TO TRY AT HOME.
NOURISHING SUGAR SCRUB
GRANULATED SUGAR IS A WONDERFUL, NATURAL EXFOLIANT. MIX IT WITH SOME HOENY, WHICH CONTAINS POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT & ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES, & A ITTLE LEMON FOR SKIN CLARIFYING PURPOSES & YOU HAVE YOURSELF A WONDERFULLY NOURISHING & EFFECTIVE FACE SCRUB. COMBINE 1 TEASPOON OF HONEY AND A SQUEEZE OF FRESH LEMON JUICE AND MIX WELL. IF THE MIXTURE IS A LITTLE LOOSE, ADD A BIT MORE SUGAR. SCRUB INTO YOUR SKIN BEFORE SHOWERING & WASH AWAY FOR BEST RESULTS.
STIMULATING COFFEE SCRUB
COFFEE IS ANOTHER NATURAL EXFOLIANT. IT CONTAINS CAFFEIC ACID, WHICH HAS ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EFFECTS & CAN BOOST COLLAGEN PRODUCTION IN YOUR SKIN. JUST AS COFFEE STIMULATES OUR BODY IN THE MORNING, IT CAN SERVE AS A SKIN STIMULANT AS WELL. TO MAKE THE SCRUB, COMBINE 1 TEASPOON OF GROUND COFFEE WITH 1 TABLESPOON OF GROUND COFFEE WITH 1 TABLESPOON OF WATER OR OLIVE OIL. IF YOU USE OLIVE OIL, SKIP APPLYING A MOISTURISER AFTERWARD, AS OLIVE OIL WILL LEAVE YOUR SKIN SUPER-MOISTURISED.
EXFOLIATING IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ANY SKIN CARE REGIME. IT CLEANS AWAY YOUR DEAD SKIN CELLS, UNCLOGS THE OIL & DIRT THAT LIVES IN YOUR PORES, WHICH CAN CAUSE BREAKOUTS.
