I never really had a reason to take facial care seriously until recently. That is because I did not have issues with pimples/acne. My face was just effortlessly. Even the few stubborn ones that pop up at that "time" of the month dry up within a matter of days. The story changed a few months ago when I started having crazy breakouts and blackheads. Alas! my face is not as flawless as it used to be *sobs*. I have still not been able to figure out why I'm get them, age or hormones maybe.
Anyway, I have been more proactive with my facial care/routine. However, while I have been able to significantly reduce the breakouts, the blackheads are more difficult to get rid of. Hence, the need for a scrub. I did some research online and threw together some ingredients I had in my kitchen.
RECIPE
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup fine sea salt
1 Tablespoon honey
1 Tablespoon cinnamon powder
1 Tablespoon spoon Grapeseed oil
Directions: Add all ingredients into a bowl, mix thoroughly with a fork and scoop the mixture in to a container of your choice that has a lid. Quite easy right? I know!
I especially love the smell of the scrub because of the cinnamon and honey.
Note: To get the most benefits of using a facial scrub, it's best to use it after facial steaming. This is because the steaming would have opened up your pores.
That is it ladies! I hope this works for me, fingers crossed.
Will you give this a try, what other easy diy remedies do you have up your sleeves? I would love to read from you in the comments section.

Bee.
Nice recipe. I've had my fair share of blackheads and I've used this recipe too just without the salt and cinnamon. I also used Olive Oil instead if Grapeseed oil. It worked really well for me especially after a facial steam like you said so I'm positive it will work for you as well.
