DIY: Make your own Exfoliator!

Do you have oily skin that and acne that won't go away? Here's my little recipe that requires a few items right in your kitchen pantry such as baking soda, and water, and lemon juice (optional). But first what is an exfoliator? Exfoliaters have been used for many centuries by women and adolescences. It is used to remove oily skin or dead skin cells that cause blemishes.

1. Get a small bowl and mix the baking soda and water together. I used 3-4 tbsp of baking soda and added 2-3 tbsp of water. You can add how ever much you want as long as you get a "paste" texture.

2. Add lemon juice to add citrus. Citrus exfoliators tend to work better because of the nutrients in the lemon.

3. Mix all ingredients

4. Apply to face using a Cotton ball or make-up remover pad. Cotton balls tend to work better as they are more soothing and easier to apply to the skin. DO NOT APPLY NEAR THE EYES!

5. Leave on face for 10-15 minutes and rinse off.

Try this once every week until noticeable results. This can cause dryness to your skin so use "light" moisturizers when finished, I suggest using Eucerin.
