Saturday Scrub: DIY Mint Scrub

Saturday greetings  my pretties!!

I bring you another recipe, this time, a scrub. This recipe, unlike the others I have present you is a little time consuming and have various steps but it is worth it at the end.

Pimples have been sprouting on my face like weeds. Ugh. I'll take care of one and in comes a new one the next day. This scrub recipe is natural and healthy.

MINT SCRUB

What You'll Need:
- 1/2 a cucumber (solids)
- 1 tablespoon instant milk powder
- 1 tablespoon oats
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 15 mint leaves
- 1/2 tablespoon (plain) yogurt (optional)

What To Do:
- Depending on how strong your food processor/blender is, you might need to cut up the cucumber to appropriate sizes; after it's cut up, put it in a blender/food processor to blend
- Strain the blended cucumbers and keep the solids and discard the juices
- With a blender/food processor OR a mortar and pestle OR finely chop the mint leaves
- In a bowl, add the oats and milk powder and mix well
- Add the cucumber solids and mix, mix, mix
- Add the mint leaves and mix 'em up
- Lastly, add the honey and mix that in, make sure everything is well mixed

How To Use It:
*Make sure you'll have about 10 minutes of free time because this scrub will fall crumble if you walk around so it is extremely important for you to sit or lay down.
- Apply the scrub to a clean face
- Leave it on for about 10 minutes
- Slowly walk yourself over to a sink, but be careful that the now dried up ingredients might drop all over your house
- Over the sink, use clean fingers to scrub the mask in circular motion until all of the mask have fall off
- Rinse off with cool water and pat to dry

I'll use this scrub again tomorrow and hopefully that will clear up or prevent the pimples.  I am crossing my fingers and hope that my face will clear out soon.

Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading everyone. Enjoy your weekend!! Come back soon! :)

Saturday Scrub: DIY Green Tea Scrub

Heeeeeey all! How has your weekend been?

I woke up super late today and so most of my day is wasted. I had a lot of salty and junk food last night so when I woke up this morning, my face was kinda puffy. That wasn't the main concern as the puffiness will subside within an hour or so. My face however was so oily... The most oil I've seen, possibly ever. 

Extreme oiliness can cause a lot of problems if I do not take care of it ASAP. I need something to rid the oil and cleanse my pores. And that's exactly what I did, whipped up a simple scrub to help move things along.

GREEN TEA SCRUB

What you'll need:
- 2 tablespoons brewed green tea
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey

What to do:
- Brew some green tea as you normally would, bag or loose leaves
- Wait until the tea is completely brewed
- Pour 2 tablespoons of tea into a bowl and let cool
- Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and mix
- Mix in the 1 tablespoon of honey
- Give the scrub a final stir

How to use it:
- Use clean fingers to scoop the scrub up and apply to the face
- Massage scrub in a circular motion
- Rub for about a minute or so
- Rinse with cold water and pat to dry

After using this scrub, my entire face was refreshed and feels a lot lighter. No matter what, I will not wear any makeup for rest of the weekend. My skin seriously needs to breathe.

Thank you for joining me again guys and thanks for reading. Please come back soon. :)
