Natural Face Scrub

As I said in my first post about switching to natural toiletries, as soon as we run out of something our goal is to replace it with a natural (homemade, if possible) substitute.  My first item was face wash, which I substituted with the "oil-cleansing method."  Now I used to use St. Ives apricot facial scrub every day, so after using the oil-cleansing method I loved the way my skin looked and felt (and I got some compliments on how I "glowed," by the way), I still missed that deep-clean feeling from a good face scrub.  So I tried using baking soda.  I added just enough water to make a thin paste, then applied it to my oil-cleansed face and scrubbed gently in circular motions.  I rinsed with water, and my face felt clean but still soft from the oils I'd used prior.  I like it!  You can also use kosher salt or finely ground Celtic sea salt mixed with olive oil as a scrub, but I felt the baking soda was super gentle.  It's also really cheap!  You should definitely try this - and don't worry if it gets in your mouth; baking soda is a base, and since our bodies are growing more and more acidic with this modern world and diet, it's actually good to ingest baking soda.  Some studies have even showed it prevents and cures cancers and fungal infections, so I say it can't hurt!  Leave me some comment love and tell me if you've tried the oil-cleansing method or a baking soda scrub and how you liked it!
