With Mother’s Day coming up, this environmentally friendly DIY facial scrub and the cotton pads make a perfect gift. And if you don’t make as a gift, you should make it for yourself for sure. Much better then these one time use pads and scrubs.
The scrub and the pads are made out of cotton so they can be used with water and of course be washed in the washing machine to reuse them.
This collection includes 1 facial scrub crochet pattern and 3 similar but different cotton pad crochet patterns. In fact the all 4 patterns have different textures on each side, so either one of the sides can have a different purpose.
The facial scrub has a fluffy side and a mild bumpy side which each serve a different purpose. The pads also have a more scruffy side and a more smoother side. I like the versatility and multifunctional usage of the scrubs and pads.
