Making your own exfoliating facial scrubs and beauty treatments couldn’t be easier! In Sue Dolan’s downloadable skin-recipe book, Naturally Skinsational, she gives some great, easy recipes for skin care treatments you can easily make at home with inexpensive, natural ingredients straight from your fridge or pantry.
Don’t pay the drug or beauty store big money for exfolianting facial scrubs when you can make them yourself so easily. Just how easy?
Exfoliating Acid Scrub I-from Naturally Skinsational
This natural skin care facial scrub recipe combines the benefits of both AHA and BHA. This acid scrub is loaded with essential vitamins and nutrients along with very powerful exfoliating properties.
Combine:
* Finely grate the peel of one orange
* 2 teaspoons sugar
* 5 plain aspirin crushed
* Squeeze just enough juice from the orange to make a thin paste
Apply scrub once daily in a gentle circular motion to the face. Rinse well with warm water. Refrigerate any excess scrub for several days.
Exfoliating Facial Scrub II ~from Naturally Skinsational
* 5 ml olive oil
* 20 grams shea butter
* 6 grams beeswax
* 3/4 shot glass of sea salt
* 10 drops grapefruit essential oil
* Melt shea butter and beeswax together over very low heat
* Add in the olive oil and mix well
The mixture will thicken as it cools. When it is halfway set and fairly cool, add the sea salt and grapefruit essential oil. Mix well and transfer to a sterilized glass jar.
Use after showering while the skin is still damp. Massage into face and body using lighter pressure over delicate skin areas and deeper pressure over areas that have particularly dry, rough skin such as heels.
Rinse well and pat dry. Follow with an extra rich body butter. Use scrub once at least once a week for silky smooth skin.
In Naturally Skinsational Sue Dolan let us in on terrific recipes for facial masks, peels, toners, cleansers, moisturizers and more. I recently bought this myself, and have had a ball making all these terrific facial recipes.
It’s a great money saver, but it’s so much fun to experiment as well! My husband just shakes his head watching me slather another of Sue’s concoctions on my face. Hmmmm, come to think of it, he could use a little facial freshening up as well!
