This lemon-and-salt face scrub is also known as the antibacterial face scrub. It uses two super blackhead-fighting ingredients: lemon and salt. Both are great for cleansing your skin, leaving it fresh and dirt-free. Lemon removes all grime and dirt from the surface of the skin, preventing not only blackheads but also acne and whiteheads. Even the scent of lemon screams clean and fresh. Salt has antibacterial properties and can kill of the germs and bacteria that clog open pores.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon
  • 1 teaspoon pure water

Directions :

  1. Combine the above ingredients in a small bowl.
  2. Using clean fingers, apply the mixture onto your face and massage in a circular motion. Don’t scrub too hard, as you don’t want a red inflamed face.
  3. After scrubbing for two to five minutes, rinse with warm water.
  4. Splash cold water to close up your pores. Pat dry with a soft clean towel. Your face will look amazingly refreshed, cleansed of all the dirt, excess oil, peeling skin, and dead cells.

There you have it. A simple way to get rid of those ugly black heads for good. It’s also a cheaper alternative if you’re on a budget, so there is no excuse to have bad skin this summer.
