DIY Honey Face Wash/Scrub

   This week I wanted to do a little DIY project. I will show you how to make a face wash and scrub that's good for your skin and easy to make. You probably have all the ingredients in your home already. A couple months ago I did a review on a company that made natural skin products. I received their honey lemon face wash and honey lemon face scrub along with some other products. I really loved the face products and decided to see if I could recreate them at home. All you will need is 3 simple ingredients; honey, lemon and sugar.

   Now you might be wondering why honey and lemons are being used for making face wash/scrub? I'll tell you why. Honey is a natural antibacterial making it great for those who suffer with acne. Honey helps treat and prevent breakouts. Honey is also full of wonderful antioxidants that can help slow down aging. It can also give you a nice complexion boost by moisturizing and soothing the skin, creating a natural glow. Honey is also clarifying which helps open and unclog pores. Now to get the best benefits with honey you have to use a truly raw organic honey. This will ensure that all the helpful nutrients and enzymes are intact.
   Now I'm sure you have heard that lemon may not be good for the skin but too much of anything could be bad for you. That's why I only used a little bit of lemon juice in this recipe. You can leave it out if you like. Lemon juice however can help lighten dark spots and blemishes such as acne scars. The citric acid in the lemon can gradually fade spots as well as evens skin tone. Vitamin C which is found in lemons is a great antioxidant for nuetralizing free radicals and boosting collagen production. So now I will show you how to make the honey lemon face wash and scrub.

   To make your face wash and scrub you will need:

*Raw Honey
*Lemon Juice ( you can leave out if you like)
*Sugar
*2 containers with lid (plastic or glass)

   I repurposed the cute glass containers that held the tea I did a review on previously. So first I spooned about 4 oz of the raw honey into the first container. I then added 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and made sure to blend it well. And that's it for your lemon honey face wash. You can add a little more or less lemon juice to get the consistency you like.

  Next take your second container and put about 1/4 cup of sugar in it. Then you will take 1 1/2-2 tablespoons of the honey lemon face wash from the first container and add it to the container with sugar. Next you will need to stir it well making sure to blend it completely. If it feels to dry you can add more of the honey lemon mixture to it. And that's it! You have your honey lemon face wash, which I use in the morning and your honey lemon scrub which I use at night.

For best results
* wet your face with warm water, add your wash or scrub evenly to your face
*let it sit for about 30 seconds
*wash off completely

   I really Love this face wash and scrub it really brightens my face as well as keep my acne at bay. I encourage you to give it a try and as I said you can leave out the lemon if it bothers your skin. Hope you enjoyed my first DIY project this will be the first of many.
