With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, so many of us are trying to figure out how we plan to mark the day this year (if we plan on doing so at all, honestly). And who says that you have to give to OTHERS on this day? You could give to yourself instead! With everyone staying in this year, it’s time we take care of ourselves.
These face scrubbies are here to up your skincare game this February. Using cotton yarn, these are gentle enough on your face while still providing some gentle exfoliation. Use these with any of your favorite face washes for an extra pampered skincare sesh.
These scrubbies are super simple to make, require less than 50 yards of yarn (per 3 scrubbies) and are the perfect addition to any skincare routine.
Pin for later!
