Homemade Microdermabrasion Scrub
Ingredients:
baking soda 2 tbsp
oil of your choice
lavender essential oil 2-3 drops
*Note: Baking soda is fine for most skin types, but if you have especially sensitive skin, I would recommend using blended oats instead of baking soda. Just grind the oats into a fine powder using your blender or a coffee grinder!
Start with a clean face. This is important, because you don’t want to rub any dirt back into your skin!
Add the baking soda and a small amount of your carrier oil of choice to a small bowl. I\ld prefer coconut oil, because it’s hydrating and a great source of vitamins and fatty acids!
Then stir the baking soda and oil together to form a “soup-y” paste. (If yours is too thick, add a little bit off oil at a time until you achieve the desired texture.) Add a couple drops of lavender essential oil, if you like.
Scoop up some of the mixture with your fingers, then rub it gently onto your face using small circular motions. Continue this process for about five minutes, taking care to avoid your eyes.
Rinse very well, then bask in the glow of your clean, soft skin!
