One of our favorite beauty/fashion bloggers Barefoot Blonde just recently shared this amazing facial scrub that will start your morning with a minty fresh face.
THE BENEFITS: the cucumber helps to soothe your skin and reduce any redness you may have. The mint helps wake you up in the mornings before getting ready and it also helps to brighten your skin! The sugar obviously will be the exfoliant and get rid of any dead skin leaving a clean and smooth surface and the oil will help to hydrate and make it nice and soft!
THE RECIPE:
1/2 cucumber
3-4 cups sugar (this depends how much an exfoliant you want, if you need a really good and intense exfoliant, use more, but don’t use an intense exfoliant everyday as it will do more damage than good! and if your cucumber is bigger than normal you may need to use more – you want it very mild if you will be using it every day though)
1/2 tbsp. olive oil
1 small handful of chopped up mint leaves
DIRECTIONS:
1. Puree the cucumber until it is a liquid.
2. Add the sugar, (more or less than directed depending on how you like it) oil, and mint leaves
*If the sugar is dissolving, add more
3. Stir together and put in a jar or container
*keep refrigerated to keep it nice and fresh.
