Beauty Tip #4: Home-made face scrub

Hi Everyone!

I haven't been writing as consecutively as I did when I started this blog, reason being is that it gets quite hard to write every day with other things to do in life! So I will try my utmost best to try to write at least every two days!! Promise!! So today's Blog post will be about a home-made face scrub that not only gently exfoliates your skin but leaves it feeling like a baby's bottom! (I swear that's how it's felt for me anyway...do get back to me with your own version of events!!).

When I came across this home-made scrub, I was a little reluctant to use it at first as I suffered from severe acne on and off, plus I had extremely sensitive skin, making things ten times worse. I couldn't use shop-bought scrubs as my skin reacted to them, so I finally convinces myself to try this out! (Please for everyone reading this, before you try this on the whole of your face, try it on a small section of your skin, to test if you are sensitive to this ingredient or not).

So the ingredients that you will need for this scrub are:
Bicarbonate Soda (remember!! it's Bicarbonate Soda NOT baking powder...they are not the same...baking powder is powdery while the soda is slightly grainy...the right texture to exfoliate skin), and some water. If you can find a little pot to store this mixture in then that would be great! as this will save you from having to keep making the mixture constantly.

Once you have the ingredients ready, what you need to do is add two tablespoons of soda to 1 tablespoon water. The mixture needs to be like a paste, it shouldn't be too runny or two thick...preferably in between. However, if after using the paste on your face you feel it is too coarse then add a little more water, this should lessen the rough feeling.

When you have made the mixture, wash your face thoroughly, then take a little of the mixture and in circular motions scrub gently into your face. Wash off thoroughly, and wipe your face, and finally apply your moisturisers.

So there you have your very own home-made scrub without all the extra chemicals in it! and it is way cheaper than your shop-bought exfoliating face scrub!

Till next time people! Keep reading, liking and please comment for any further improvements or topics that you may want to see on my Blog!

Ciao!
