With winter and the holiday season approaching fast, a natural deep cleansing face scrub is just what your skin needs to look its best. I formulated this natural deep cleansing face scrub to provide strong, deep cleansing. You’ll need to use a little extra moisturizer afterwards but the deep cleaning and even skin tone you’ll get from using this natural deep cleansing face scrub recipe will be well worth it. The natural deep cleansing face scrub recipe calls for inexpensive and natural ingredients and is easy to prepare.
You will need the following ingredients to prepare the natural deep cleansing face scrub recipe: 1 cup white granulated sugar; ½ double strength brewed green tea, 2 tablespoons lemon juice
You will need the following utensils to prepare the natural deep cleansing face scrub recipe: mixing bowl, measuring cup and spoons.
Begin preparing the deep cleansing face scrub recipe by bringing one cup of water to boil. Then pour it over 2 green tea bags. Allow the green tea too steep for at least ten minutes. Green tea is excellent for use on your face. It is a natural source of powerful anti-oxidants and tannins that will help flush toxins from your skin and help remove dead skin cells. Green tea is also a natural source of caffeine which will help tighten and cleanse your skin, leaving it with a healthy glow. You’ll be brewing double strong green tea for use in the deep cleansing face scrub recipe so its beneficial properties will be increased.
While the green tea is steeping measure 1 cup of white, granulated sugar into a mixing bowl. The sugar will serve as a powerful yet gentle exfoliator in the deep cleansing face scrub recipe helping remove dead skin cells, dirt and impurities. Sugar is also a good source of glycolic acid which is very beneficial in a deep cleansing face scrub recipe.
Next prepare the lemon for use in the deep cleansing face scrub. You can use pre-prepared lemon juice from the store or slice a small lemon and squeeze 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Fresh lemon juice has the best benefits but pre-prepared lemon juice also works well. Lemon juice is a great source of Vitamin C and citric acid. Lemon’s presence in the deep cleansing face scrub recipe will give the blend an added cleansing boost. Lemon juice is naturally astringent and will help kill bacteria. It will also lighten any dark spots on your skin, after continued use, helping to even out your skin tone over time.
Add the lemon juice to ½ cup of the brewed green tea, stir a few times and then pour the blend over the sugar in the mixing bowl while the tea is still warm. You can customize the consistency of the deep cleansing face scrub recipe by adding more green tea if you’d like the scrub to be thinner. Use a large fork to stir the deep cleansing face scrub together until the recipe ingredients are well mixed and uniform.
To use, apply some of the deep cleansing face scrub to a soft washcloth and add a small amount of warm water, then use cloth to gentle scrub your face. Scrub face thoroughly for several minutes, and then remove any remaining deep cleansing face scrub with lukewarm water. Pat skin dry. Store any unused deep cleansing face scrub in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
