Aside from me turning into a crazy banshee, about a week before my cycle starts my skin starts breaking out like nobody’s business. It’s always in the chin area, pissing me the hell off. I’m already hormonal, emotional, and bloated, damn monthly breakouts make me even madder!

Since I’m broke chic and can no longer afford the luxury of hitting the day spa for a facial every other month, I take matters into my own hands and give myself at home facials and scrubs. Sometimes I use store-bought products, but lately I’ve been experimenting with homemade scrubs and masks.

My latest at home facial scrub consists of two simple ingredients that every person has in their home – baking soda and water. You don’t really have to measure, just take some baking soda, add enough water to form a paste, and apply to skin after cleansing. Set for 10-20 minutes, and rinse off completely. Rub your face with ice to reduce swelling, and moisturize. Voila! Your skin will look brighter and more toned. It’s damn near free, it’s worth a try.
