[glow=red,2,300]Homemade Facial Scrubs
This for dry skin . . . 3 tablesthingys of olive oil or baby oil, mix with 1 tablesthingy of kosher salt
it exfoliates and moisturizes really well!
if you have normal/combo skin try beaten egg whites . . . spread on your face and wash off in about 25-30 minutes. tightens your face and pores!
Honey and Cornmeal Facial Scrubs
Try equal parts of honey and cornmeal, mixed thoroughly. Your face will feel very smooth and will radiate. For something faster, pour 1 to 2 tablesthingys of sugar in hand and mix in some cetaphil. Massage gently in circular motion to create creamy foam on face, then rinse. These are my favorite recipes and I know they will work for you.
Cure Acne Facial Scrub
This is the best way to cure acne. You put 1 cup of sugar, 2 cups of olive oil, 1 tsp. of lemon juice, 1 cup of instant oatmeal and last but not least 1 cup of water. This cures so fast that when you wake up all your acne will be gone. Try it i swear you wont regret it!
Baking Soda Facial Scrub
Just plain old baking soda is perfect. It's the least expensive & works great. Just wet fingertips, dip them into a container of baking soda, then gently scrub face. I never use soap on my face anymore [gave me bad case of rosacea, even with real mild soap]. The baking soda is all I ever use now & my complexion is better than has ever been in my life. [Arm & Hammer has a good website,
and this is one of the uses they have listed for the baking soda]
