In my post Treating Enlarged Pores I mentioned there that one key to help keep the pores clear and less apparent is a mild exfoliation. So to continue with our topic on face treatments I'd like to share with you homemade facial scrubs recipes. These are cost-effective and all natural. More than anything they are easy to prepare and are available in your kitchen!
Here is a general procedure to do a facial scrub --
- Pull hair back into a ponytail, or just tie it anyway you want.
- Wash face thoroughly.
- Scrubs are most effective when the skin is soft and its pores are open. To do this, steam face over hot water (if you do not have a face steamer) or simply press a warm cloth to skin for a few minutes.
- Apply the SCRUB you just prepared to face avoiding the eye area. (You may include the neck ares if you want.)
- Optional: Use a facial loofah, sponge, or brush to maximize exfoliation.
- Rinse off with warm water.
- Savor the results!
If you have tried a body sugar scrub, you know how amazing they are. Work the same magic on your face!
1 tsp. of honey (I use olive oil when I run out of honey!)
1/2 tsp. of brown sugar
Blend honey and sugar in a bowl. Apply as step # 4 in the above described general procedure for facial scrub. Rinse very thoroughly, as this recipe can be slightly sticky.
Another variation which I also love is using mashed papaya instead of honey.
Mash a piece of papaya, then add 1/2 tsp brown sugar and rub your face with it. Leave it on for 20 minutes and rinse well. It leaves skin fresh and glowing!
