Save money on expensive drug store beauty products, and get the benefits of using natural ingredients when you make your own beauty products. With just a few minutes and a few ingredients, put together an orange facial scrub that exfoliates, refreshes and leaves a lovely natural fragrance.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • 1 Orange
  • 2/3 cup Fine sea salt
  • 1/3 cup Liquid soap
  • 1/3 cup Olive oil
  • 1 tsp. Essential orange oil
  • Grater
Step1
Begin by grating 1 large orange to get as must zest as possible.
Step2
Mix together 2/3 cup of fine sea salt, 1/3 cup of olive oil, 1/3 cup of soap and the zest in a bowl. The liquid soap should be a very gentle one such as a baby wash or soft-soap, not dish soap or hand soap. The fine sea salt is the ingredient that exfoliates and also soothes rashes and burns. Stir the mixture until it is well blended.
Step3
Add one teaspoon of essential orange oil and mix further. The orange essential oil has aroma-therapeutic qualities that can calm the mind and leave a fresh fragrance.
Step4
Place in a glass or plastic container with a lid. It will last for up to one year but may need to be stirred.
Step5
Wet the face with lukewarm water, and apply the mixture generously to the face using the fingertips. Massage the mixture in a circular motion all over the face and upper neck.
Step6
Rinse well with lukewarm water, and pat dry with a towel. Use the orange facial scrub once a week.
