Skin Brightening Brown Sugar and Buttermilk Facial Scrub

This is a very easy to make, skin brightening facial scrub. I use it 3 times a week, and receive tons of compliments on my skin. The two ingredients contain active ingredients to promote healthy, glowing skin without spending a fortune!

Brown sugar is full of glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid that is crucial for maintaining healthy skin and is usually a key ingredient in pricey products.

Buttermilk is natural pro-biotic, and is also rich in lactic acid.  Lactic acid is found in many expensive beauty products and is one of the best ingredients for facial peels that doctors choose for softening, brightening and exfoliating skin.  Because of it’s highly acidic and astringent nature, it fades age spots, freckles and can even tighten skin.

Ingredients: 1 Tbsp. full fat buttermilk, 1 Tbsp. brown sugar

Mix the two ingredients together in a small cup or bowl.
The consistency will be a tad bit runny. Cleanse your face, then smear this mask all over it, using gentle, circular motions. Let sit on your skin for a few minutes, then rinse off with warm water.

For extra skin brightening, use a cotton ball and dab pure buttermilk all over your face. Let it sit until it is dry , then rinse off with warm water.
