Lately I've been on pinterest a lot ! Doing a ton of research on DIY facial masks, scrubs, lotions, pretty much anything you can think of. My face has greately benefited from this I'm happy to say. This recipe for the "Vanila Sugar Acne Scrub" is a scrub my sister and I now use daily. Check out great I look after using it:
Yeah I know I look like crap in this picture, don't remind me.
but as someone who has suffered from acne for the past decade, let me tell you that this scrub is amazing and odds are you already have everything required in your kitchen! So let's do this!
Ingredients:
- 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon of Lemon Juice
- 1/4 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Brown Sugar
Step 1: Mix Liquids
First thing you want to do is mix the Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, and Vanilla extract together. This way everything is together and ready for the brown sugar.
Step 2: Mix in Brown Sugar
I didn't put a specific measurement because it varies ont he person. I personally put at least 1/4 cup of sugar in mine because I wanted it to be very "scrubby." Mix in sugar until it's your desired consitentsy.
Wow, That Was Easy!
Tips & Tricks/Notes
- You could try using coconut oil instead of olive oil if you ahve that on hand.
- If you don't have vanilla extract you could try some almond extract instead.
- If you don't have brown sugar on hand, you could try normal sugar- Brown sugar is just more gentle on the skin.
- Put in a sealed container with a small spoon so you can use it daily.
- Don't worry if your mixture separates! That's normal due to the olive oil!
- After doing this, be sure to do a Face Mask (Optional) and a moisturizer.
