I love a good facial scrub or mask. I tried many of them over the years. When the kids were younger, I managed to scare them on a regular basis with my masks. “Ack!” they would exclaim, “Why is your face green?” I love the effects of masks; smoother, softer skin, but I was never a fan of the price. One day, many years ago, I stumbled across an easy recipe using common items from my kitchen. It took less than a minute to whip up this mask. I’ve never been disappointed with the results.
Before applying the mask, I always make sure I’ve secured my hair away from my face. This mask is extra sticky! To make the mask, you’ll need sea salt, olive oil and honey. You can use coarse sea salt if you like. I keep a salt grinder full of sea salt in my cabinet and grind just enough to add to the recipe.
One of the things I like about this recipe is that it only makes enough for one application. There’s no need to worry about storing the excess. I’m also a fan of knowing exactly what goes onto my face. If I accidentally get the mask ingredients in my mouth (and it happens!), there’s no need to worry what sort of chemicals or preservatives I’m ingesting.
Mix all the ingredients together until blended. Apply to your face using a circular motion. I leave the mask on for two minutes and then rinse off. This also works well on other areas of the body as I accidentally dropped some down the top of my shirt. I now have a silky smooth neckline!
- 2 tablespoons Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- Mix the ingredients. Wet your face and rub the ingredients into skin, using a circular motion. Allow to sit for two minutes. Wash off.
Have you tried making your own facial scrub?
I had no idea a homemade facial scrub was that simple to make! I would have never thought about honey
I’ve never made my own face scrub but this looks super easy! My daughter and I should give this a go for a bonding time together this weekend.
I love using homemade scrubs. It is so convenient and I like how we can use all the ingredients we have in the house.
I always love homemade scrubs & use natural products for facials & skin care as well. This is a simple yet powerful homemade scrub which can be done in few minutes time that could help for a quick facial when you are in a rush.
That’s a great recipe. I am positive I have all of those on hand already. It sounds so easy to whip up too.
I love making facial scrubs. They are seriously my favorite things to do. I will have to try this one!
This is an interesting scrub and looks like you have smooth-flowing directions to prepare it.
I will have to tell my sister about it. I know she was also looking into making her own facial scrub products.
All these ingredients are all natural and sound great for the skin. I net they leave the skin feeling super silky soft!
I can do this! It is so simple and there are only 3 ingredients and they are all in my pantry. I’m making this in a bit.
I love how my skin looks after a good scrub. I am due for a good polishing on my face since my skin is dull.
I really need to make something like this with my teen daughter, she is more into facial scrubs than I am and would really have fun making her own!
Every once in a while I like to use a nice scrub to remove the dead skins. I would love to make this facial scrub!
I have never made a facial scrub with honey. That is very interesting. I am all for using all natural ingredients in my beauty treatments.
I love the way my face feels after a good scrub and heaven knows it could use one with this dry winter weather. This recipe looks quite simple too!
I love making my own beauty products and I love a good scrub. Will definitely try this.
I love a good scrub. It really helps keep the skin healthy and bright. I can’t wait to give this one a try.
Wow, this is pretty simple. I should try this out. I know I have all the ingredients!
You know, I was just talking with a girlfriend the other day about doing this. I can’t wait to give this a try. Thank you!
Being a makeup and beauty product junkie myself I love face mask both homemade and store bought but you are right there is nothing better when it comes to face mask and knowing what goes you are right it is important as someone with sensitive skin and has tested products I have to agree 100% that homemade products are the way to go.
I love to use masks, but I’ve never made my own facial scrub. I will have to give this a try.
I used to see a facialist who swore by honey. It has great antibacterial and restorative properties apparently. It’s great to put on your face by itself but this scrub sounds divine!
Oh goodness, I could go home and make this with my pantry contents right now! Thank you for the idea!
I will have to try to make this! I am always looking for all natural products to use on my skin. This sounds great!
I am trying to go more natural, too! It;s so much better for us.
I have made a few scrubs over the years and I love homemade ones so much better than store-bought ones. I need to start making more 🙂
