Green Tea Face Scrub Project
This Green Tea Face Scrub is easy to make thanks to our Facial Lotion Base. It's a gentle and hydrating combination of aloe liquid, green tea seed oil, and squalane oil. In this project, we transformed it into a scrub by adding biodegradable jojoba beads. The round shape of the beads is perfect for face scrubs - they exfoliate without scratching the skin.
A touch of sea clay and spinach powder are added for color, and green tea extract adds extra moisture. We recommend using this scrub on clean, damp skin. We left the scrub unscented, but you can add any fragrance or essential oil of your choice.
