Recipes for Facial Scrubs/Masks
Good things about homemade scrubs are that you can alter the intensity of the exfoliation based on your skin type, avoid ingredients you are allergic to and know it is fresh and chemical free. You may store it in jars and kept in fridge for a few days after mixing the ingredients, but it is best to use as you make.
