Daily Facial Scrub, Cleanser, Exfoliator for Sensitive Skin

 Removing spent skin cells that sit on the top of your skin is key to glowing skin. Removing those dead skin cells speeds up skin renewal and helps your skin to be more receptive to moisturizing products. Exfoliators are what we need for that chore. Facial exfoliators-in my opinion-need to be very gentle and used often. That’s why I recommend an exfoliator that won’t cut you beautiful facial skin. Ground up fruit shells, seeds, pumice, or other exfoliants make microscopic cuts all over your skin. I like to use ROUND poppy seeds. These seeds are gentle and won’t damage your skin. I formulated a skin cleanser-scrub-exfoliator for my own use and I love it. I have put this scrub in my product line and my customers love it!

Make It Yourself

The ingredients are simple and a 4oz. jar can be made to last 2 weeks, a month??? Depends on how often you use it.
You will need your favorite unscented body gel-wash—3.5oz.

You can get the guar gum-a totally natural thickener-1 pound for about $7.00 at Organic Creations–that will last a long time

A-Tone-Mint Natural Facial Scrub

I made this naturally hydrating-exhilarating, and exfoliating scrub to be used as a facial skin cleanser-facial scrub-for sensitive skin–mainly for myself. I couldn’t find a natural facial cleanser -that very gently exfoliates AND cleanses-at the same time. I came up with a formula that I love. This sensitive skin product is a facial cleansing paste with poppy seeds to gently exfoliate the face. You put a small dab in your hand, wet it, lather it up, and wash your face. I use this cleanser every day-it’s that gentle.
This exfoliating anti aging skin product with poppy seeds-is a gentle cleanser made especially for sensitive or mature skin. The poppy seeds gently exfoliate lifeless, dull skin cells, allowing new, healthy skin to shine through. The sloughing off of spent skin cells promotes the absorption and retention of moisturizing nutrients.
Poppy seeds are completely round and won’t scratch the skin like ground up fruit shells, seeds, pumice, or other exfoliants. It was made to be a daily facial cleanser. The peppermint essential oil has the WOW wake up factor, while the lemon and orange essentials oils clean and sanitize the skin.
