How would you like a quick and easy way to make a facial scrub?

A simple facial scrub that gently exfoliates your skin and that leaves your skin soft and smooth.

All you need is some rosewater and some finely ground almonds.

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.

2. Cleanse your face with your usual cleanser and toner.

3. Pour about a quarter to half a teaspoon of ground almonds into the palm of your hand.

4. Pour a few drops of rosewater into the ground almonds and mix into a paste. Add more rose water if needed. This paste has to be able to spread easily on your face. This is your scrub.

5. Now spread the scrub on your clean face and massage gently avoiding eyes and mouth to exfoliate your skin.

6. Rinse off with lots of water.

7. Pat dry. The almond oil in the ground almonds conditions and moisturizes your skin. If you need more moisture, then use your usual moisturizer.

One thing about these home made scrubs is that they cannot keep. You make a little at a time as and when you are going to use it. For convenience, and better results I still prefer these face and body scrubs.

Making a delicious salt or sugar scrub is the easiest thing in the world. They make great gifts, too!

1/2 cup fine sea salt (table salt) or sugar
1/3 - 1/2 cup jojoba oil or other oil
5-10 drops of essential oil, such as rose, eucalyptus, or anything you like

Mix ingredients in a glass jar. Use a jar that has extra room so it is big enough to mix everything without creating a mess. You could also use a mixing bowl and then transfer everything to a jar or jars for storage. I like jojoba oil for it's non-greasy quality and neutral scent, but any oil can be used.

I have a free website where I post recipes for natural facial scrubs, masks and other beauty treatments a lot like the ones posted here. check it out at http://www.fruitfacial.net
