DIY: Facial and Body Scrub

Hello bloggers,

I am excited to share today's post: my very first DIY facial/body scrub and lightener.

What you need:

1/2 a cup of Rice (Brown OR White)- I prefer using organic brown rice because it is unrefined and it acts as an excellent anti-oxidant agent.

1/2 a Lemon: Lemon contains Vitamin C, a highly beneficial boost for healthy skin. The anti bacterial and anti fungal properties of lemon, also offer a natural way to treat blackheads and acne/acne scars.

2 tea spoons of Honey: You name it, Honey has it. It is an anti-bacterial that works great for acne treatments. It also contains anti-oxidants and is an excellent moisturize. The best part, it also unclogs pores.

To make this Facial and Body Scrub, begin by blending 1/2 a cup of brown rice. The brown rice should look like the picture above. It has a fine property to it after blending. Then activate the rice by adding 2 tea spoons of honey and mixing it in well.  If you feel the mixture is still dry, then add more Honey.

Begin the application process by coating 1/2 a Lemon on the mixture ( Rice+ Honey). Apply it on the face and body in circular motions. For the face, let it sit for 5-7 minutes before washing it off. For the body, you can apply the scrub with a loofah or the lemon. I personally prefer a loofah.

Try to do this scrub while in the shower because it reduces the mess! Have a wonderful weekend and begin each dawn onwards with a brighter look!
