Exfoliate with a Do-It-Yourself Face Scrub!

Step One: Blend Ingredients

Blend equal parts honey and baking soda. You can double or triple the recipe and then store in an airtight container for up to a week in your refrigerator, although I used a tablespoon of each.

Hint : Use local honey. It’s only slightly more expensive and supports small/independent small business.

Step Two: Apply to sterile Face

Remove all makeup, lotion, sunscreen, etc. out of your face. Keep skin moist. Use the mixture to your face and massage into skin for at least 45 minutes. Allow it to set for three to five minutes.

Tip: If you have kids, roommates, a husband or even a pet, now’s the perfect chance to frighten them with your gooey face.

Step Three: Rinse and Dry

Rinse the scrub off the face with water and pat dry. Follow up with cream or your favorite serum to lock in moisture.
