How to Make Your Face Glow in 5 Minutes

Exfoliation and Vitamin C are two very important factors in making the skin glow. Exfoliation removes the dead skin cells, revealing fresh new cells. The vitamin C helps to give your skin a healthy glow and removes dirt and oils from the skin. Vitamin C in high concentrations has also been shown to help re-knit collagen. So I came up with a very effective, very simple, cost efficient way to achieve this and it works beautifully!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Lemon Juice
• Sugar
• 1/4 measuring cup
• 1 tbsp
• a small bowl

1. Measure out 1/4 cup sugar and pour it into a small bowl.

2. Add 1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice. Mix the sugar and lemon juice together well. This should make a paste, it should not be watery or too dry. If you find that the sugar is to dry add a few more drops of juice and mix well until paste is formed. If the mixture is to wet...add more sugar.

3. Wet your face with warm water. Apply the sugar mixture to your face and massage in a circular motion for a few minutes. Rinse and pat dry.

Tips & Warnings

• You should exfoliate the skin at least once a week.
• You can use this mixture to do a full body scrub if needed, just make this mixture x's 5.
• Be careful not to get the mixture in your eyes...it will burn a good bit! If you do, rinse your eyes out with cool water for a few moments and that should ease the pain.
