Give it to me Raw

I'd like to try to make a homemade facial scrub. Does anyone have any recipes that only consist of 2 ingredients? I don't want to buy a bunch of weird, voodoo sounding stuff.

Baking soda and water :)

The usual thing would be good fine salt and some oil. Olive oil is the most common, so you don't have to buy anything new for it. But Jojoba, Sesame whatever feels right to you is good too.

Salt sounds aggressive, but my skin is really sensitive and it doesn't react badly...I get a bit more colour, but it looks more like after doing sports which isn't a bad thing really :)

Add some sugar to your cleanser and scrub your face with it. Or to scrub and moisturize you skin, moisten sugar with some olive oil and scrub away! I also love blending up some pineapple (or juicing the pineapple to drink and then using the leftover pulp) and putting it on my face like a mask. The enzymes eat up your dead skin and make you all fresh and glowy. It might not be great for sensitive skin though - spot test to see if your skin can tolerate the acid in the pineapple first :)

You can also use some freshly ground papaya seeds in the scrub, they're not acidic and have a scrubbing effect too.

I use honey and sugar. I scrub my skin, than leave the mixture on while I shower (honey is good for the skin) and rinse it off before getting out of the shower. It works great for me!

Hey, what kind of honey do you use? Does it have to be raw honey for full benefits?

Natural skincare recipes are so much fun :)

red earth clay and water. You can find the clay up in orangville by the rivers or you can buy it at most health food stores.

Great post.
I was thinking about this same question.
Thanks, Pascal!

Fresh aloe vera is the bomb for reviving up your skin, I feel like it exfoliates and tightens without having to add a harsh scrubbing agent. If your looking for a scrub though, just use a sea sponge loofa-works like a charm:)

I've watched that. It is so weird that they have that show on. I also watched the old v's. They are a trip- with 80s hair and the spacesuit type outfits they wear. If you look at how small our planet is compared to others like Niburu- you can see ...

Thanks for checking this out Vamp. It is truly amazing if you can be open minded enough to watch the video. People act like we haven't invented space travel. If you can accept that- then how hard would it be to accept jumping onto a planet that is...

Hi El-bo, You're absolutely right; sodium is not the problem, but sodium chloride, and inorganic mineral salt which always causes water retention and raises blood pressure. We don't need any of that.
