Face Scrub

[GenB]

DH has discoid lupus and his skin (face, particularly) is helped by using an exfoliating soap each day. Currently he is using Clinique but I'd like to change that to something more natural. Any suggestions for a natural exfoliating scrub???


He seems to be allergic to most of the commercial stuff with lots of scents in them. Everything else he is ok with.

honey and baking soda-the honey is healing as well. It is not harsh either.

dh loves honey with sugar!

This sounds great. Tell me how you store it. Do you mix it? What kind of sugar do you use?

I have honey in the shower now that I used but it got moldy and I'm afraid to use it now for fear of contracting some horrible flesh-eating bacteria....
I loved the honey as face wash. My skin looked great and I want to re-use this honey if I can. Maybe heating it would kill the bacteria(mold, etc).

i keep a small container of sugar in the shower, along with the honey bear. just sprinkle however much sugar you want in with the honey on your hand. not sure about the honey being icky... i guess zap it and put it in a fresh container?
