Are you a college
student who cannot afford to buy facial products anymore? Are you a woman who
is looks for “all natural” or “organic” with beauty products? Well I have a
face scrub and toner recipe just for you, and to make it better is homemade
with things I bet you have in your house right NOW! If not…. To those young
women in college, I promise they are cheap!
I have always been
interested in home remedies, and it has taken forever for me to find a recipe
that works. . . So I wanted to share it with you all!
Supplies:
Measuring Cup – Optional
Measuring Spoon-
Optional
Traveling Bottles
–Optional
Ingredients:
Organic Honey Brown Sugar (optional)
Olive Oil Vanilla Extract (optional)
Sugar Almond Oil (optional)
Lemon (A real one) Cumin (optional)
Cinnamon (optional)
I did not post measurements
because I estimated everything (which I think works better, because everyone
likes a different thickness or thinness of scrub). Deciding if you want to
measure all your ingredients out depends on how much you plan on
making, and how you want to
make it. I make my scrubs really …
“scruby” or rough because I have slight, oily skin, and I make a lot at once.
A helpful Hint: Be careful when you mix these ingredients
because you don’t need as much liquid substances as you think. It takes a lot
of sugar to make a scrub. Also: If you have a lot of acne use more sugar and lemon than honey and oil. If you have dry skin, but not a lot of acne use more sugar, oil and honey.
Why I used these ingredients:
Honey because it is a good moisturizer for the skin. It won’t dry your
face out like most Acne facial washes
do. It also contains a lot of vitamins and minerals that are good for your
skin. Tip: DO NOT use a lot of
this, because it does stay sticky (obviously). Now, I know a lot of people do not carry organic
honey in their houses, I didn’t at first. When I first made this I used clover
honey and it did the job.
Olive oil moisturizers your skin as well, but it also keeps it young
looking. It gives you more of a glow. For women who have wrinkles or are starting
to get wrinkles, this will be beneficial to you as well. It reduces the chance
of wrinkles, and it helps tighten wrinkles you already have.
I used White Sugar because it is a good exfoliate, and I added Brown Sugar because A) it smells
delicious, and B) it contains vitamin B (vitamin b can reduce damage form UV
rays), and it is more coarse than regular sugar. The coarseness will help
exfoliate harder-to-reach skin cells.
Lemon is a liquid substance that is added because it is acidic, and
helps reduce acne. It also helps “dry out” acne you already may have. Now you
are probably really confused because I am telling you that this will get rid of
acne by drying acne out, but you are also putting honey and olive oil which
will moisturize your face. This is where you can change the recipe to your
personal taste. If you have a lot of acne
use more sugar and lemon than honey and oil. If you have dry skin, but not a
lot of acne use more sugar, oil and honey.
Cumin— Organic. Vitamins C and E
are found in this spice which helps maintain healthy skin. Also keeps out
infection and blemishes.
Cinnamon— well it smells delicious of course (based on my personal opinion).
It also kills bacteria which prevents acne, or other infections.
Vanilla Extract – I’ll be
honest with you. . . I put this in here just for the scent, and boy does it
make washing my face ten times for refreshing and enjoyable.
Almond Oil – Opens pores to
help cleanse away dirt. This also helps remove dark circles from under eyes.
I hope you all ENJOY!!!
