- Honey (1 tablespoon)
- Sugar (1 tablespoon)
Mix the ingredients in a bowl. Rub the mixture on your face and neck for one minute and rinse off with warm water. Pat dry and then apply your moisturiser.
3. Olive oil, Lemon and Sugar
Olive oil, as well as lemon, are antioxidants that will help exfoliate the skin to clear up skin issues such as blackheads and acne.

- Brown sugar (2 tablespoons)
- Lemon Juice (1 tablespoon)
Mix the ingredients in a bowl. In a circular motion, rub the mixture on your face and neck for one minute and rinse off with warm water. Pat dry and then apply your moisturiser.
The reason for rinsing off after one minute is due to the high acidity in lemon which can cause skin irritation, so this method should be used in moderation.
4. Oat flour, Milk and Cinnamon
Oat is known to be good for the skin because it has antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that can help with skin issues. You can make your oat flour using a blender or food processor. For a simple guide on how to make your oat flour, check out my active kitchen.
