1. Olive Oil and Sugar Scrub
An important preliminary step in a healthy skincare routine is exfoliation; removing dead cells from the upper layer of your skin. One of the easiest exfoliating facial scrubs to make at home is Olive and Sugar Scrub. This scrub softens the skin and removes blackheads and whiteheads.
According to Healthline, olive oil is rich in vitamins including vitamin A, D, K, and E. It also moisturizes and fights bacteria.

1 tablespoon of sugar
How to prepare
1- Mix the ingredients in a bowl

2. Honey and Cinnamon Mask
Honey is a wonderful ingredient that has been utilized for ages for its skin-care benefits. Honey moisturizes, protects, heals and soothes the skin.
A honey and Cinnamon mask fights fine lines and acne. Cinnamon is an anti-fine line agent. It has compounds that increase blood flow, nourish, and hydrate the skin.
Honey, on the other hand, has anti-antibacterial properties and is effective against pimples.

1 teaspoon of cinnamon
