Awesome scrubs and Masks! Im gonna try it myself. But, a simple idea you could put up there is ... Apply face cream onto your face. Let sit for 5 minutes and then wipe off with warm to hot water with a wash cloth. If needed for pimples or acne, apply a anti acne or pimple scrub. It makes your skin clear and baby soft.
