    Hey guys,

    I've found a nice do-it-yourself at home facial scrub that requires stuff found in your kitchen cabinet.
    It requires:

    1/4 cup of granulated sugar
    1 and 1/2 tablespoon of EXTRA virgin olive oil
    1 tablespoon of honey (pure honey)
    Mix it well! The scrub should feel mushy, not oily.

    Mix it all in a resealable container. After you cleanse your face for the night, use this as a facial scrub. Pat your face down dry, it should feel supple and soft with a noticable glow. If your face feels oily, it might be because there was too much extra virgin olive oil. Apply your nightly moisturizer.

    I've tried this for a week and lets say I've noticed a reduction in blemishes on my skin. Since its made with natural products, it is safe to use nightly.

    Hope it works for you guys as well as it does for me =).

    Tell me how it works!!

    two points i would like to make


    ?? putting olive oil, than adding more moisturizer, that's a little much


    you know that using regular olive oil and EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil will only make you more tasty, so um, i would recommend not bothering to waste the extra money on "extra virgin"

    Olive oil? Won't that make your acne act up or something?

    ive heard of ppl using olive oil in masks before...never tried it on my face though...

    what i did try is olive oil in my hair...it takes like 6times washing before it gets out....but yeah it feels a bit softer afterwards lol

    Putting on moisturizer is an option. I put on a vitamin E enriched night cream after the scrub, even though it sounds a little much.

    Yes its true you are putting oil on your face but EVOO is good for your skin. Italian women swear by it!
