DIY tea tree + lemon scrub/mask 🍋🌿
Ah, two of my favorite ingredients - tea tree and lemon. These guys do wonders for my acne prone skin. I know there’s some debate about putting lemon directly on the skin, but I haven’t ever had any problems and its not like you’re literally dripping the lemon onto your skin lol. So tea tree is really great for treating blemishes and lemon is great for brightening the skin and evening skin tone. I didn’t think it was necessary to show you guys step-by-step how I made this because like any diy I’ll ever show you guys, its pretty straightforward and totally customizable. If you don’t have tea tree oil, use another favorite oil or add in an serum - any wet ingredient that you want should work - honey’s great too. I chose these ingredients again because I find they work AMAZING for my skin and show results right after use and especially with continuous use. All you gotta do is get some sugar (your exfoliator), put in your wet ingredients, and mix mix mix. I got this really minimalist tin container from a bead store I live by, it was like 80 cents. I’m sure you could find something similar in any craft or container aisle, or you don’t have to be unnecessarily fancy like me and can just use any old container you have at home. This is also a great, effortless gift for anyone and it looks so nice in a simple container with a handwritten label. I like to use this as a mask to allow the ingredients to absorb more into my skin. I’ll scrub this in with some water on already cleansed skin and let it sit for as long as I feel like, usually about 10 minutes. But on days you don’t have that extra time, its just as great to use this as a basic scrub. And that’s it! You’re on your way to glowy, clear skin!
