Heavy Cream Scrub

You will never want to go back to a facial scrub from the store. Try a natural one, and when you make it yourself, you won’t just be saving money, you know exactly what is in them, and you can probably find it all right now in your kitchen.

- 2 cups brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 3 TBS heavy cream
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 TSP vanilla

The added effects of brown sugar and molasses, makes this mask a super scrub, the heavy cream will also moisturize your skin, and the vanilla gives it a beautiful scent.

Your all-natural scrub will separate. Stir before each use. Moisten your face with warm water, scoop out a bit of the scrub, and apply to your skin. Work it in gently–you can even leave it on for 10 or 15 minutes to increase the nourishing benefits before washing off with warm water. Use a couple times a week and you won’t believe how soft your skin will be!

It does not need to be refrigerated, and it will keep well.

Heavy Cream and Strawberry Facial Mask

This mask combines the properties of being exfoliant and moisturizer. The exfoliant properties are inherited by the presence of  alpha-hydroxy acids present in strawberry and molasses, and the heavy cream is already moisturizing by its fat content. You will need:

- 4 to 5 very ripe, medium size strawberries
- 2 teaspoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon molasses

Rinse the strawberries in lukewarm water, and dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. In a small bowl, mash the fruit with a fork. Add the cream and molasses, mixing well. Leave on for 20 minutes

People with sensitive or sunburned skin might find the strawberries irritating. Test on a small patch of skin first to assess your skin's reaction.

You can try whatever fruit known to have effects on the skin like, avocado, bananas, pears...etc.
