DIY: Skin improver

Hi Guys,




So a couple of years ago i was looking for a face product i could use to clear up my hormonal breakouts, blackheads and dull looking skin. But i didn't want to spend all the money on the face products on the high street as some don't work or some aren't good for you in the long run. So i looked for some at home face products i could use that were affordable and good for my skin. This has been my favorite for a long time and it has always worked for me. It is basically a lemon and sugar scrub for your face. 

What you need: 
Organic lemon juice (i get mine in the baking section)
A few cotton pads/cotton balls (i get mine from home bargains)
Organic white cane sugar (again from the baking section)

What you need to do:
-Wash your face clear with warm water to open pores and remove any make-up and so your face is wet ready for the scrub
-Squirt some lemon juice onto your cotton pad and sprinkle the organic sugar onto the pad and in circular motions scrub it around your face except on the eye area
-Wash off the lemon juice and sugar with warm water then splash face with cold water to close pores
- And put on your favorite face cream

How this works:
The sugar and lemon acts as a great exfoliater for the skin removing old skin cells making room for fresh new cells to appear to the top of the skin making your skin look 100x better. Lemons have BHA (beta hydroxy acid) which is good for improving wrinkles, roughness and pigmentation (sun spots) and it has AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) which is good for improving skin texture, collogen production, and helps hydrate the skin making it look healthy and glowing. And obviously as a exfoliator it clears pores and helps get rid of zits and blackheads.

I hope this helped,
