Natural Face Exfoliant


Who doesn't love a great facial!  I do, but they are few and far between because they are a bit pricey for this girl.  So I try to find ways to do my own facial type things at home using natural products.

This has been a current favorite!  I mix  any one of the following oils, coconut oil, olive oil, or grapeseed oil with some baking soda and create a paste and then I gently scrub this on my face in tiny circular movements for about 1 minute.  I then take a hot wet washcloth and let it sit on my face for a moment to open up my pores and then I gently wipe it all off.


It leaves my face feeling smooth and moisturized but not greasy.  I have been known to add some  essential oils when I really want to pamper myself, usually just lavender, but I have added frankincense, orange, melaleuca and a few others too.


 It is such an inexpensive way to exfoliate, and I really notice a difference in my skin.  I have a friend who has been doing it for several months and says she has noticed a reduction in her brown spots and  wrinkles as well!!   One item of caution don't use this more than once a week as the baking soda is a natural bleaching agent.  I love using natural products on my skin, but especially my face.  Have you tried this? I would love to know what you thought!
