Honey and Lemon, facial scrub?

I am looking for homemade ingredients that can be used as a facial scrub. I am not too fond of using salt and/or sugar as facial cleansers. I was wondering would a mixture of honey, lemon, and warm water do good?Honey and Lemon, facial scrub?
This facemask uses lemon and works great! It is good for tightening pores and preventing breakouts.





7 medium size strawberries(I use frozen and then thaw them)


2 tbsp lemon juice


1 tbsp water





Purade strawberries in a blender, then mix with the lemon juice and water. Put on a cotton ball and apply to face. Leave on for 5-10 minutes and then wash off. Works amazingly! I love it!

you could call the store Lush and they would tell you or you could buy some nice homeade ones there. Ive used them they work really well:)
Not unless you want bees swarming you.
Lemon is very acidic, but packed with Vitamin C. Try putting in just a few drops of lemon juice (unless uve already got a recipe in hand?)





I don't see it as a scrub if theres no sugar/salt to exfoliate... could be called a mask i suppose? the honey's gonna b rather sticky... so i wouldnt see it as a nice scrub/cleanser... but its up to your preferences :)





try adding a teaspoon of milk to the recipe :) it tightens your skin and smoothens out your skintone.





another tip i think would work would be putting on some lemon juice and steaming up your face (i.e. hot water in basin with your face over it, covered with a towel). it'll open your pores and the vitamin would be absorbed. tried and tested ;) it works on my blackheads on my nose.
Lemon and honey wont make a scrub they will make a mask, to get a scrub you will have to use sugar or something granulated to get a scrub.
