Notes
Be gentle with your face scrub! Use light, circular motions and avoid the eye area.
Always perform a patch test before trying new DIY recipes. Apply a small amount to your wrist to ensure you don't have an allergic reaction.
After rinsing off the scrub, follow up with a gentle moisturizer or a hydrating serum to lock in moisture and soothe the skin.
Store your scrub in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Since it’s an oil-based scrub, it should last about 2-4 weeks, but discard it if you notice any unpleasant odor or change in texture.
