I made my own face scrub... and I love it!

Like many everyday on the go busy women, one evening I looked in the mirror and couldn't turn a blind eye to the dullness and grayness of skin that used to be a radiant face. To add insult to injury, I was due to meet a good friend for lunch in a few minutes. I wanted to do something quick but noticeable before I went to meet up with my beautiful girlfriend and needed a no nonsense right here right now facial. I thought to myself, so many bloggers and health heads always brag about their chemical free, natural, and effective scrubs, why can't I be one of those people?

With a few minutes and limited ingredients, I took inventory of my beauty cabinet setting out to see what cute concoction I could stir up and use to help my face. Raw brown sugar, coco nut oil, and some lemongrass essential oil found its way into a tiny mixing bowl.

Shortly after grinding the three, I scrubbed away and then washed with mild soap to remove excess oil and the results were nothing short of a miracle. Though I used light concealer, mascara, and did some brow work to make my look complete, I felt and knew underneath the enhancements laid beautiful, moisturized and exfoliated skin.

I highly recommend simple things like these to do on a fly and on a dime. To think I got a major upgrade in minutes free of charge and with very little effort made me feel like a beautiful genius. I continue use the scrub ever other morning and I constantly get compliments on skin. :-)
