My face was screaming for something new! My pores and under-eyes needed some rejuvenation! I tried a Lemon Facial scrub and you won’t believe what it did to my face!
It woke up all the areas on my face from the tippy top of my hair line and down to my chin.
The mixture includes 1/4 cup of salt and lemon juice to make it pasty. It seems more like a salt-based scrub than lemon-based but the lemon juice is rich in alpha-hydroxy acids and vitamin C. When applied directly to your face it wakes up al your pores by scrubbing away dead skin.
At first, I thought salt wouldn’t be good for your face, but the salt works like an antibacterial while the lemon juice exfoliates.
And it’s so easy to make!
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup salt
Lemon juice, to make paste
DIRECTIONS:
Mix ingredients. Dab on face. Gently massage into skin. Avoid eyes. Rinse.

Just as a warning, citrus tends to make skin more sensitive to UV damage (more wrinkles).

Ouch… A few words of advice: DO NOT try this scrub unless your skin isn’t sensitive at all! I tried it without the salt in the past, so it wasn’t even as exfoliating, and wow, my face was SO red and it broke out like crazy. If you have sensitive skin I would suggest a washcloth and a mixture of lemon juice and tea, and see how your skin feels before trying anything more.

@KayC - Not just UV rays, that amount of salt and acid will make your skin sensitive to everything, unless the skin on your face is a thick as the skin on your feet! lol

I’ve made the sea salt with sunflower oil body scrub that probably works as a face scrub, too. it was a diy kit and I gave it away as gifts and she said that it made her skin soft, although I haven’t tried it on myself, because my skin is sensitive.

I’ll have to try this before bed some night. (That way, there’s time for the redness to go away if my face doesn’t like it…) Thanks for the recipe!

i literally JUST tried this and i cant remember the last time my face was this smooth. i never believe home remedy type of treatments cause i never see a difference but this actually worked, i just want to keep touch my face!
