Step 1
Cleanse your face. The first step before you apply just about any scrub or mask is to wash your face. Make sure you choose a gentler cleanser because you will be exfoliating and a harsh cleanser could result in skin irritation. Gently towel dry your face.
-
Step 2
Mix it all up. Gather the two products you need for your facial: honey and sugar. Get a mixing bowl and a mixing tool. A spoon works great. Take 1 tablespoon of sugar and put it in the bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of money. Mix everything together with the spoon. You want the consistency to be thick but not too runny. If you need more of either product, add it in until you reach the desired consistency.

Step 3
Make the cucumber slices. If you want to give your eyes a little TLC, cut 2 cucumber circles. If not, skip this step and proceed to the next step.
-
Step 4
Apply the mask or scrub. Apply the honey and sugar mix to your face. Be gentle because you don’t want to over exfoliate your skin. If you’re using it as a scrub, skip the next step and go straight to step 5.
-
Step 5
Sit down and relax. Once the mask has been applied, it’s time to set your timer and relax for about 25 minutes. If you want to put cucumbers over your eyes, do it now. Some people prefer to lay down when they have the mask on because sometimes the honey can get runny. Put a towel across your chest. This will catch any honey that drips.
-
Step 6
Remove the honey mixture. Once the timer goes off, it’s time to rinse the mask off. Get your hands a little bit wet and gently start rubbing the mask into your skin. You will begin to feel the exfoliating properties of the sugar. Do this for approximately 45 seconds. If you have sensitive skin, do it for 20 seconds. Once the time is up, rinse your face completely making sure that you get all traces of the honey off. Proceed with applying your favorite toner and moisturizer. Lastly, take a look in the mirror and admire that glowing skin.
