Notes
For those with very sensitive skin, almond meal can be used in place of the brown sugar in a face scrub. It is even gentler. Be mindful, this will need to be refrigerated and will have a short shelf life.
A tablespoon of honey added as well will make the scrub more akin to a scrubbing face mask. Give it a try.
