Face Scrub!

Now I've heard of homemade face scrubs with oatmeal

But you should really try this! 

I tried it today & love it

it really exfoliates well

Milk

Sour cream/full fat yogurt

rice flour (or green chickpea flour)

You can also add a few drops of lemon juice or tomato pulp 

(or you can rub the pulp itself on your face & let dry)

Use the mixture as a scrub & massage in circular motions

Let the mixture/mask dry for max. 30 minutes 

& wash off! 

Voila!

Smooth skin!

Lactic Acid is my best friend!

I dont know about you, but i looove making homemade masks & experimenting with it 

I've tried tomato & cucumber and I wasn't impressed with either.

You can also use egg whites or egg yolks according to your skin type.

My fave is sour cream or  plain non-flavored FULL FAT yogurt.

Reason why both of these are really good for your skin is because it contains LACTIC ACID.

Almost like at an home lactic acid peel!

The acids basically eat away at dead skin that you can't really see. 

The sourer, the better; which is why I use sour cream.

 Another mask is made of just honey.

Both leave your face soft & smooth!

It is best if you exfoliate prior to applying the mask.

You can exfoliate mixing olive oil & sugar...don't use St Ives Apricot Scrub!

Sometimes I'll mix a combination of any of these & leave it on for 10-15 minutes:

honey

lemon juice

turmeric (the cosmetic kind, not cooking)

sour cream/yogurt

olive oil (for dry skin)

After you rinse off your mask with lukewarm/cold water,  do not use soap/cleanser on your face. 

Pat dry & you've got great skin!
