The best homemade face scrub ever?!

Hiya! The other day, whilst browsing on pintrest, I found this face scrub/wash recipe, I was slightly sceptical but I shouldn't of been!

All you need is:

1tbsp of baking powder

1tbsp of milk

And a squeeze of honey!

Mix all together in a ramekin, and leave for 3 minutes. When you come back, it will look all risen and fizzy! Wet your face with warm water, apply this concoction to your face and gently massage in. I leave it on for a few minutes, then rinse off. Once I'd done this, my blackheads had drastically  reduced in size, I had less of them, and my skin felt uber soft. After id used this scrub, I applied some honey to my face and patted around my nose (where my blackheads, err err 'inhabit'?!) so any pesky blackheads still remaining disappeared!   

The sciency part...

The lactic acid in milk helps break down old skin cells so they disappear when you rinse your face, and the baking powder helps get rid of the oil, offers the scrubby power, and leaves behind really smooth skin! Using the honey 'pat down' will also offer gentle antibacterial and antioxidant help, so anything nasty that may be left in your pores won’t oxidize (and turn black) quite as quickly.

My skin feels amazing, and this scrub recipe is so easy to make, and you only use the ingredients you have in your cupboard/fridge, so its almost free!   

 

Overall, I'd give this recipe a 4.8/5, my only issue is the fact that the honey part is a bit sticky and can be messy, but I am not to fussed about that!
