Sugar Face Scrub

Another very simple recipe for natural cosmetics is my apple juice - sugar - scrub:

Simply mix 1 tablespoon of regular sugar with approx. 1/2 -1 tablespoon of 100% apple juice. Let it sit for a few minutes. The sugar will reduce its size a bit and make the peeling more gentle.

Start scrubbing it into your face, massaging it gently into your skin. It's also great for your lips! And you smell like a toffee apple afterward - delicious ;)

Afterwards wipe everything with a wash cloth. (Works better with hot water!)

I do NOT recommend using this scrub if you have raw skin or sunburn. I suppose it would sting quite a bit!

Since the fruit acid might make your skin a bit dry I recommend using a good moisturizer or oil afterwards.
Lately I used the oil cleaning method before to remove make-up, then used the sugar scrub and did another round of oil cleaning afterwards again.

It seems to work for my skin so far and many YouTubers made videos about great results of the oil cleaning method, so why don't you give it a try and see if it works for you too?! ;)

Enjoy taking the extra time for yourself and smelling like a coconut toffee apple ;)
