Ingredients:
3 tablespoons dried basil leaves
1 cup boiling water

Crush up the dried basil leaves and mix them into a cup of boiling water. Cool down the mixture and strain out the leaves then put it in a spray bottle and spritz your skin. Use a cotton ball or pad to spread the toner gently around your face. Do this daily before cleansing.

Lemon-Agave Age Spot Fighter

This scrub can help exfoliate your hands and lift off the top layer of dead skin cells, which contains some of the pigment leaving age spots behind. The rice exfoliates, the agave hydrates, and the lemon helps lighten skin and lift off dead cells.

1/2 cup cooked rice
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions:
Mix together the above ingredients and blend well. Apply the mixture to dry hands, move the scrub around your hands in circular motions on the backs of your hands with firm but gentle pressure for one to two minutes. You can also rub this rice on the palms of the hands to soften calluses.

Almond-Sugar Facial Scrub

Regularly exfoliating your face helps to get rid of dead skin cells (which dull your complexion) in order to make your skin feel smoother and look brighter.

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons of fresh cream
1 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of ground almonds
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions:
Mix all ingredients. Apply to dry face in a circular motion. Wash your face off with warm water, followed by cold water. Pat your face dry. You can also store it in a jar and keep it in your refrigerator for future use.
