We’ve been using more and more essential oils in our house for all sorts of purposes. From fighting colds to better quality sleep, we love experimenting with EOs. And lately I’ve been using them to give my face a much needed anti-aging weekly treatment. To make my Better than Botox Facial Scrub I combine 2 essential oils that support great looking skin: lavender and frankincense. Combine this better than Botox facial scrub with my SUPER BOTOX tip at the bottom of this post and you’ll have baby smooth skin in no time.

Better Than Botox Facial Scrub
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon baking soda
½ tablespoon raw Manuka honey (Manuka honey has wonderful anti-inflammatory properties for the skin, this honey face mask is also a great one to try)
1 drop of pure lavender essential oil
1 drop pure frankincense essential oil

Directions:
Combine the baking soda and honey together until it looks like a paste. Add one drop each of lavender and frankincense essential oils.
Place a warm washcloth over your face and hold on skin for a minute or so to open up your pores.
Gently rub face with facial scrub using small circular motions (be gentle with your skin!). Keep massaging skin with scrub for 3-5 minutes to fully remove dead skin from face and to let the essential oils work their magic.
Rinse off with warm water.

Your face may be red for a bit but this will wear off.
Use this scrub no more than 1-2 times a week.
This scrub is alkaline to the skin, so to even out your pH it is a good idea to splash your face with rosewater afterwards. This will naturally balance your skin.
