A DIY And Affordable Alternative To Expensive Face Scrubs

Say goodbye to dull, tired skin with this easy, homemade sugar scrub face wash that exfoliates and cleanses in one simple step. Made with natural ingredients, it’s a gentle yet effective way to reveal a smoother, glowing complexion — right from your own kitchen!

I’ve been using this recipe for over 10 years now. Back in my teens, I struggled with severe acne and scarring. Prescription products and dermatologist treatments didn’t help much, and my confidence took a major hit. Desperate for a solution, I turned to natural remedies and found this scrub recipe somewhere online (wish I could remember where!). It completely changed my skin — and my confidence.

🌿 What You’ll Need:

• 1 green tea bag

• 5 teaspoons sugar (add more if you like a thicker texture)

• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (do not use regular vinegar!)

• 1 teaspoon raw honey

• 2 teaspoons of brewed, cooled green tea

🧴 How to Make It:

1. Brew a cup of green tea (about 1 minute in the microwave does the trick).

2. Let it cool completely.

3. In a small bowl, mix:

   • 2 tsp green tea

   • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

   • 1 tsp honey

   • 5 tsp sugar (add more for a thicker consistency)

4. Stir well until combined.

5. Store in a small, airtight jar.

💡 How to Use:

• Before applying to your whole face, patch test on a small area to make sure your skin doesn’t react.

• Apply gently in circular motions, avoiding the eye area.

• Rinse with warm water and pat dry.

• Use 2–3 times per week for best results.

Each ingredient plays its part:

• Green tea is packed with antioxidants.

• Sugar gently exfoliates.

• Honey is antibacterial and moisturizing.

• Apple cider vinegar helps balance skin pH and fade scars.

It might not smell like a spa treatment, but trust me — the results are worth it and it will save you a fortune!
