A Natural Face Scrub



If commercial face scrubs tend to give you red, irritated skin, here is the wonder bean to your rescue.

Used twice a week, this homemade face scrub gives you the fresh-scrubbed glow that will be envied by your friends.

Take two ounces of dried red kidney beans, toss them into a coffee grinder and grind into a fine powder.

Pour into a small, deep bowl. Discard any chunks that escaped the grinder. Add one tablespoon water and mix into a paste. Add a few drops of olive oil - just enough to make the paste easy to work with. 

Very gently rub the paste into your skin, using small circular motions. Stay away from the eye area.
Rinse your face thoroughly with warm water.

Apply your usual moisturizer.

Wait for the compliments on a beautiful, soft skin!
