How to Make Your Own Face Scrub

Making your own facial scrub is as easy as raiding your kitchen cabinet! Forget spending money on expensive chemical-laced products, and look no further than your grocery list. Lemons aid cell turnover, have antibacterial qualities and fade scarring and discoloration. Honey has moisture-retaining and antibacterial properties. Oatmeal soothes the skin, and aspirin is a natural source of zit-zapping salicylic acid. Besides being cheap, natural, easy and effective, these scrubs take only a few minutes to make.
