If you’re fed up with paying high prices for facial scrubs that don't work, maybe you should get back to the basics and use the ingredients in your pantry to make a low-cost honey-lemon facial scrub that actually gets the job done.

• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 ½ tablespoons of sugar

Mix the ingredients in a small bowl. Apply the mixture to your face (careful not to get it in your eyes), neck and chest using a gentle, circular motions. After massaging the honey and lemon scrub into your skin for 60 seconds, rinse it off with warm water and blot your face dry with a clean towel. Follow the honey and lemon facial scrub with your favorite moisturizer.

The natural honey-lemon facial scrub can be used on other areas of the body such as the hands, feet, elbows and knees. The ingredients contained in the facial scrub are all natural, so there's no need to worry about harsh chemical additives.

Honey is a natural humectant that attracts and retains moisture. Olive oil provides moisturizing benefits to dry skin. The gentle sloughing action of sugar removes dead skin cells to reveal fresh, polished skin. Lemon juice acts as a natural toner and bleaching agent to help lighten dark spots on the skin.
