This Brightening Facial Scrub Is Japanese Women’s Favorite Treatment

It is quite difficult to maintain beautiful and radiant skin considering harsh environmental factors, poor diet and stress of daily life. While many people resort to chemicals in such cases, others are looking for natural solutions.

Recipe for skin whitening

• Sesame seed: 1 tablespoon
• Tomato: a tablespoon of diced or the blended equivalent (ideal in the latter case, I didn’t have a blender today but I recommend you do it this way)
• Lemon essential oil: 2 drops (or the juice of a quarter of a fresh lemon)
• Olive or Sweet Almond or Avocado Oil: 2 tablespoons

Properties 

• The sesame seeds in this treatment will serve as an exfoliant, to delicately scrub the skin on your face.
• Tomato is anti-oxidant, it tones, hydrates, tightens pores and purifies.
• Lemon essential oil cleanses the epidermis.
• Vegetable oil protects, softens and repairs the skin barrier.
