DIY Facial Scrub Made With Honey And Baking Soda

A Honey & Baking Soda Facial Scrub is very easy to make yourself at home. I find it quite relaxing to make my own skin care products and lotions. It can be a very pleasant experience. Combining, mixing, measuring out natural ingredients the way people must have done it a hundred years ago. Knowing that the ingredients I am using are high quality, and natural, and the result is a fabulous skin care product I can be proud of. And I can trust, because I know exactly what's in it. And it was cheap to make, especially when I compare it to the very expensive face care products on the market today. Through the years ladies, we learn what is best for our skin, and what could be better than making our own face scrubs, cleansing lotions, and creams? I use natural oils, butters, herbs, and even some of the food in my kitchen to create and blend wonderful skin care products that keep me looking and feeling wonderful.

Mix the 12 drops of Rose essential oil with the Vodka. This will help to break up the oils so they will not just float to the top of the bottle of water.
