How to Make Floral Face Scrub

chamomile floral face scrub holy basil lavender lip balm rose Sep 23, 2022

This week we have a hands-on, silky smooth, yet gently exfoliating aromatic herbal experience.... a floral face scrub.

This one is fun to do with kiddos, would be amazing with some wine, music and lady friends, and is definitely soothing and meditative to make by yourself.

We, of course, will include the herb of the month, chamomile, in this herbal project that takes about 5 minutes to blend up.

Chamomile is fabulous internally or externally. Since we're making a scrub today, I'll share that it promotes beautiful skin by helping skin conditions such as itchy acne, burns, rashes, and conjunctivitis {It also helps teething babies too}.

Use any of these flowers {or others} in this scrub:

rose
- tones tissues, holds water in the skin, soothes redness
calendula
- reduces inflammation, helps with scar healing, soothes irritation
yarrow
- reduces acne, shrinks the appearance of pores, natural astringent
lavender
- antimicrobial, cleansing, and calming to the skin
jasmine
- boosts collagen production, moisturizes, reduces appearance of scars
helichrysum
- evens skin tone and texture, high in antioxidants, clears build up

Chamomile...

...just to name a few of the ways that this plant works with our bodies!

Floral Face Scrub

The oils in this recipe acts as a moisturizing carrier, the honey cleans and clears pores and unhelpful debris, the salt and sugar exfoliate away dead skin, and the lemon helps to even skin tone. Here's a link to the Mountain Rose skin care essential oil blend {totally optional} that I used.

You really don't even need a recipe for this one. Gather the ingredients, trust your gut and your nose, and blend away!

I challenge you to take 3 minutes this week to use this scrub once. Wet your face, put a teaspoon in your hands, gently massage your skin in a circular motion, take a few deep breaths, and then wipe/rinse off.

The flowers, honey and oils, salt and sugar make you feel cared for.

With love and plants,
Mary Julia
