I was reading a blog recently where the lady contemplated making an appointment to have a facial. She said her husband didn't mind as long as it didn't cost any money.
Several years ago I read about using ingredients found in the kitchen to do facials, and other beauty treatments.
First, to make an exfoliant scrub: Mix sugar and enough olive oil to make a paste consistency. Gently rub over face for a few minutes. Rinse with warm water.
To make a toner: Mix powdered milk with just enough water to make a thick liquid. Pat over face and leave for five minutes or so. Your face will tighten. Rinse with warm water.
Then apply a moisturizer. You will feel as though you've been to a salon and it only cost pennies.......

I have heard of this before but never tried it. Have you? The sugar must make a nice scrub.
There are indeed many facial scrubs you can make yourself...much cheaper than going out to get a facial done professionally!
My favorite facial scrub is made with finely ground flowers...the kind that double as herbs such as rose, calendula and lavender. Nothing beats the fragrance, either! I just add a bit of water, but you can add oil if that's what you'd prefer. It also doubles as a mask if you use something such as yogurt or honey...
Make it more fun and do it with a friend or daugther/mother.
I love this idea, especially since it cost only pennies! LOL
