LEMON and SUGAR FACE SCRUB for all skin types!

Hello Bellas, Once again I am here with an easy to make homemade beauty product! Everyone spends money on beauty products for the face or body. We never think of looking around the house to create a healthy beauty product for a very cheap price. We are just going to think  of the easiest way out, which is to go to the store and buy a brand name scrub or face wash that has been tested and maybe safer. This face scrub is super healthy and I recommend it to any skin type. It works wonders even for the body. This lemon and sugar scrub can be used on both the body and face. It is ideal for rough spots like feet, knees, elbows and hands. It’s also great for nail beds and cuticles. To use on the face, this scrub works wonderfully for those with acne-prone skin. But, of course, the entire body can benefit from a lemon and sugar exfoliation that leaves skin soft and insanely smooth. Indulge in this scrub from head to toe!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

• 1/2 fresh lemon
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 tbls of olive oil
• 1 tbls of organic honey
• 1 medium sized topper-ware bowl with lid

INSTRUCTIONS:
Add lemon juice and olive oil in to a bowl (I like to use tupperware as it is easy storage) until they mix together. Add the honey and wisk or stir quickly until the ingredients bind together into a medium thick consistency. You can add or subtract the amount of olive oil and honey that you use depending on how thick you want your scrub to be. I would keep the lemon to the juice of one half of a freshly cut lemon for every 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Add in the sugar and mix. If you sense that there is not enough sugar to get the scrubbing done, add a bit more. Again, this is a personal preference.

As a face scrub: The lemon and sugar scrub is also great for the face, but use with gentle circular motions. This scrub is ideal for people who suffer from breakouts and acne as all of the ingredients are highly beneficial to acne prone skin. Lemon tightens pores and evens out the skin tone, sugar removes dead skin cells and cleans pores, olive oil heals acne scaring, and honey prevents future breakouts. To use, follow the same recipe instructions then apply to clean face in gentle, circular motions. Be cautious of using on open wounds as the lemon may sting. Leave on for 7-10 minutes and rinse with cool water.

As a body scrub: Apply to body, paying extra close attention to elbows, knees, feet and hands (nails and cuticles especially) and rub in circular motions for 3 to 5 minutes. Rinse. Enjoy the silky softness of your impossibly smooth skin.
