When I have a kitchen full, why not try something homemade.
I found this recipe on a blog Pure Beauty. From Nasirah's instructions I made this simple exfoliant. I found that it was a little stingy on my face so next time I will likely use cornmeal rather than salt but it worked in a minute or two and left my face feeling so great. And isn't the pretty peach colour so feminine!
Homemade Facial Exfoliant
1/3 cup pureed tomato1/3 cup kosher salt
2 tablespoons honey
Combine and rub onto face in circles. Rinse. Dry. Moisturize.
Cool idea, Sarah! There are places in NY that charge an arm an a leg for this fresh stuff as part of a facial... maybe a cottage industry in the works??
ReplyDeleteAmazing. So simple, and it's effective!
ReplyDeleteWhat a useful item to whip up in the kitchen! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI had no clue you could use tomatoes for an exfoliant. This is a wonderful idea and even better because it's all natural. I'll have to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this with all of us last week on Fresh Friday/Seasonal Saturday. I selected as one of the best posts on fresh, homemade beauty ideas. I've got to do this over the weekend! I love to esfoliate my face. It feels so good! Hope you stop by again! Ciao, Roz
