DIY Coconut Oil Face Scrub-TheMoxieMama

While the idea of using oil on your face to wash it is the exact opposite of what many of us girls grew up learning about skin care. In fact, growing up, I would use straight rubbing alcohol on my face to keep the oil away. It is a shame that I did not know about the wonders of coconut oil. Coconut oil is a wonderful skin moisturizer than any oil or lotion on the market today. It is even gentle enough for the gentle skin around the eyes making it a very practical “potion” for any skin care regimen.

The baking soda, also known as Sodium bicarbonate, is a great addition to any skin care routine.  In this recipe it  is used for gentle exfoliation to slosh off any dead skin cells on the surface. This leaves a very healthy glow to the skin. By adding just a few drops of essential oil, you can add to the spa effect.
