Face Mask

Sorry that I didn't blog over the weekend and now I am blowing up my little blogosphere, but I was searching online for home made face scrubs the past couple days and I decided today I was going to make one! I was going to make this one http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/almond-and-honey-mask, but I did not have honey...go figure.Then I was going to do some of this one http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/scrub-a-dub-dub. But I couldn't find olive oil...which is weird in my family's house. So I found this one http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/papaya-and-pineapple-peel, but then silly me remembered I don't have honey! So I just made my own combining the best of all the things in each of them and some of my own choosing.
Here is the "Recipe":

2-3 slices of pineapple
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. lime juice
about 1/2 c of brown sugar (more or less depending on your personal preference)
1 T. almond slivers
1/2 c. rice

The first thing you need to do is pulverize (I love that word) your rice in a food processor, a Magic Bullet, or by hand with a rolling pin.  This can be a lengthy process and a noisy one also.To lessen the noise you can put your almonds and brown sugar in with it.  This will cut out the step of mixing the three together.  Set this aside. Put pineapple, lemon juice, and lime juice in food processor and blend until pineapple is juiced.  Mix together the juices and brown sugar, almond, and rice until the mix is to the consistency you prefer. 

This made my face feel so refreshed and clean.  Also if when washing your face you have your mouth wide open like I did, it doesn't taste as horrible as those face washes you buy in the store.
