Homemade facial scrub?
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.

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.

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:)

Hi Elise,
I take it that the high price is gladly refunded if it "doesn't take".
Baby, this answer rocks. I understand it completely. I did quite a lot of pills over a 2 year period in my 20s and got to experience all of what you described in your 1st paragraph. When I keep my raw diet pure and stay away from nuts, I feel the ...

Full disclosure - I work as a therapist.
Yes, it helps.
But you should know that the value of it can't be described by the speed of the healing process or whether you're looking or seeming perfect. Therapy is about coming to terms and coming back...
I always used to get sick on foods from restaurants, but the same meal I prepared at home wouldn't make me sick.... restaurants tend to drown foods in butter and oils, you've probably been eating less of those since going on those diet.
No problem at all. We're all here to support each other in our journeys. :D
with a manual camera I used a slow shutter speed (1/5) and kept my head moving side to side. i used Photoshop to get the contrast and color look.
thanks -- it makes me really enjoy being sick!
respect,yb.
