Step-by-Step: Crafting a Luxurious DIY Exfoliating Scrub for Beautiful Skin

Hey there! Are you looking for a natural and effective face scrub that is both gentle and nourishing? I've got just the thing for you! Made with ingredients straight from your garden, this face scrub will exfoliate your skin and leave it feeling smooth, radiant, and refreshed.

The key ingredients in this face scrub are herb flowers and yarrow herbal oil, if you make your own or natural oil like jojoba or sweet almond will do. (If you’d like to learn how to make your own herbal-infused oils, check out my ebook for the recipe.) The herb flowers gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells, while the yarrow herbal oil stimulates collagen production and improves skin quality. It also increases blood flow to the skin which gives a higher elastin to collagen ratio.

Making this face scrub is easy and fun. Simply, take some freshly picked herb flowers and crush them gently. Mix them with yarrow herbal oil, apply to your face and massage gently for 2-3 minutes. Rinse your face with warm water, and voila! Soft, radiant skin that is refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to shine!

Experience the power of nature with this simple, natural, and effective face scrub, to get that truly soft and radiant skin you've always wanted. Give it a try and see the difference!

Ingredients:

2 T dried herbs of your choice (see below for suggestions)

1 T herbal oil or plain carrier oil (see below for suggestions)

Directions:

1. Measure out herbs and drop into a pestle and mortar.

2. Grind herbs down to small particles; don’t over grind to create too much of a powder. Small pieces of herb will be the exfoliators for the skin. Also, grinding them will release some of their medicinal properties into the oil (that you”ll add next).

3. Add herbs to a jar with lid.

4. Measure out oil and add into jar with herbs.

5. Mix thoroughly to combine.

6. Cap jar and store out of sunlight.

To use: Splash water onto face. Add a teaspoon size amount of herb exfoliator to the palm of your hand. Scoop off hand and apply to damp skin. Massage in circular motions gently for a minute or so. Next, leave on to dry for a minute or two to really receive the herb medicine. Rinse of with warm water and then splash face with cool water. Pat face dry. A thin layer of the oil will remain on the skin to nourish it for the remainder of the day.

Herb suggestions: Ones I commonly use are: lavender buds, chamomile flowers, rosemary leaves, yarrow blossoms, sage leaves, and calendula flowers. I also use oats!

Oil suggestions: If you don’t make your own herbal oils (or buy them), using a plain carrier oil like argan oil, rosehip seed oil, marula oil, jojoba oil, or just plain water will do the trick. I make my own herbal oils and my go-to herbal oil is yarrow for its excellent rejuvenating qualities.

Routine suggestion: I like to exfoliate two times a week. I don’t put anything else on my face afterwards like a moisturizer or makeup.
