EG’S FACIAL SCRUB DIY
In place of commercial scrubs containing harmful ingredients like synthetic fragrances and parabens, use Grapefruit, Patchouli, and Lavender instead if your skin needs a pick-me-up! Grapefruit oil helps clear and tone the skin, Patchouli serves as an anti-inflammatory oil and Lavender targets skin irritations with its ability to promote rapid healing.
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED:
¼ cup plain yogurt
¼ cup cornmeal
5 drops each of Grapefruit, Lavender, and Patchouli
Porcelain or glass bowl for mixing
HOW TO:
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly
- Apply the mask using your hands or a face mask brush, avoiding the eyes
- Allow to sit for 15 minutes
- Rinse off with warm water and a clean towel
