Homemade Brown Sugar & Honey Scrub Recipe (Pics Included)

If you are a huge beauty fan like I am, then you probably already know that you can make your own facial exfoliating scrub using ingredients from your kitchen cabinet. For those who haven't heard of such a thing, then allow me to introduce to a world of savings and satisfaction.

To rid your face of unwanted dead skin cells deep exfoliation is needed. Try this at home recipe twice a week to give your face a fresh glow and ultimately younger looking skin.


What You'll Need:


- A small plastic bowl

- Brown sugar

- Extra Virgin Olive Oil

- Honey

- A spoon

Instructions:

  1. Take about two spoonfulls of brown sugar and put into your plastic bowl

  2. Squeeze about one spoonfull of honey into the bowl with the sugar

  3. Take about one spoonfull of extra virgin olive oil to mix in the sugar and honey to loosen the paste. ( Those who tend to have oily skin, be very careful not to add to much oil in your mix for it will cause breakouts!)

  4. Take either your spoon or your fingers to mesh the mix together

  5. You are now ready to apply!

End result...

Once you have wet your face with luke warm water, apply the scrub to your face using small circular motions all over the face (scrubbing gently). After you have applied the scrub to the entire face, rinse and feel your soft and healthy look skin!!! You will be amazed at how this home beauty recipe actually works.

Remember to love your makeup. Love yourself.

  1. I love using brown sugar as a light glycolic scrub. :-) Have you tried using baking soda (or bicarbonate of soda, as we call it here) as a facial scrub on any oilier bits of skin? I've found it works wonders for blemishes, which I'm unfortunately rather prone to.
