What are the benefits of a scrub?
Did you know that scrubs are the only facial treatments capable of providing deep cleansing of your skin ? Not only do they bring an immediate healthy glow effect, but they also eliminate all the impurities hidden under the epidermis. Eliminating dead cells from your face will limit the development of any bacteria and the appearance of unsightly pimples.
Be careful, however, not to abuse it. If you have dry skin, opt for a scrub once a week. On the other hand, if you have oily skin, one to two applications per week are recommended. The scrub improves the tone of the face and its radiant appearance.

A honey scrub
Small warning: the use of pure honey, without treatment, without toxins or pasteurization remains essential. The goal? Take full advantage of all the medicinal properties of honey. It is a 100% natural and non-irritant beauty ingredient. Honey adapts to reactive or problem skin thanks to its regenerative and antioxidant properties.
The recipe: to prepare a moisturizing and soothing scrub made from sugar and honey, pour half a tablespoon of honey into a bowl. Add the same amount of very fine white sugar. Fine sugar crystals will be sweeter than regular sugar. If you wish, you can also add 5 drops of fresh lemon juice. If your mixture is too runny, add more sugar. Conversely, add honey.
