Homemade Natural Honey & Lemon facial scrub



It might be worth pointing out that today's post is not being written by Chris! It's Helen here with a quick and super easy home-made facial scrub. After being nagged for a while by my dear husband about the chemicals and toxins I was slathering all over my face/body/hair on a daily basis I have broken down and started researching and making my own. This was my first foray into the natural home-made skin & body care products. And I started off with a good one!

Honey & Lemon Facial Scrub. There are just 4 ingredients and there's a good chance you'll have them all in your pantry and fridge right now so you could have your own scrub ready in the next 5 minutes (but first you need to finish reading this to find out how!)



Ingredients

  • 6 Tbsp Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tbsp Honey
Mix it all together! Seriously that's it!! adjust the consistency to what works for you (nice and runny or a bit on the dry side - it's your choice) by adding more sugar. The 6 Tbsp I used is nicely in the middle.

Tips:
  • You will want to give this a good shake before each use as the oil will separate.
  • This won't have a super long shelf life due to the fresh lemon - mine was fine for a week or so but I probably wouldn't push it much longer - keeping it in the fridge is obviously an option to extend the life but I personally would never remember to take it into the bathroom with me!
  • Use a finer grain sugar for use on the face (but this is awesome over the whole bod' too!)
The benefits

  • Honey - is naturally antibacterial, full of antioxidants and extremely mositurizing and soothing
  • Olive Oil - is very rich in vitamins E & A. Great for anti-aging it nourishes and protects the skin
  • Lemon - is a natural exfoliant since the citric acid acts as a gentle skin peel'can diminish scars & blemishes. It is also has natural antibacterial properties and can lighten & brighten the skin and diminish the appearance of scars and blemishes.
  • Sugar - is an excellent exfoliant leaving soft glowing skin
....So have you made this yet?!

  4. Toward the start of our organization, Richard didn't know who anybody was, yet he immediately realized Who Was Who, i.e. which individual was worth shooting. Once, when I was at a supper in Karl Lagerfeld's honor at Mr Chow, I was situated at the style fashioner's table with a gathering of ladies writers, who spent their entire night, tediously telling their picture takers whom not to photo.
