I feel that nowadays, there is more awareness of having 'clear skin'. Commercials and advertisements for skin care products all claim to have some sort of 'skin enhancing' benefit.
Having great skin should not cost an arm and a leg to achieve, that is why I am sharing one of my favorite skin clearing and brightening scrubs that can also double as a mask!
Ingredients
- 1 generous tsp of organic honey
- 1 tsp of olive oil
- 1 tsp of lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder
- 1 - 1/2 tsp brown sugar
Method
Combine all ingredients together in a bowl until you reach a nice pastey consistency.
Next, Massage all over face and neck for around a minute or so. Leave on for 20 minutes, wash off with luke warm water. Pat your face dry and follow up with your favorite moisturizer.
Say hello to smooth, soft and bright skin!
***TIPS***
- with consistent use (2-3 time a week) this concoction will not only slough away dead skin cells, the combination of lemon, honey and turmeric will help to brighten the skin and even out skin tone.
- if you have dry skin, try to decrease the amount of lemon juice and increase the amount of honey.
- this scrub/mask is good for all skin types
- I do not recommend substituting white sugar, I feel that brown sugar is not so harsh and it feels great on the skin.
- I recommend doing this mask only AT NIGHT TIME, the reason for this is because turmeric leaves a yellow tint on the skin which goes away by the morning.
- Olive oil can also be substituted by avocado oil, almond oil, coconut oil etc.
