Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings 6 uses

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon water

Optional:

  • Brown or White Sugar
  • Honey
  • Milk

Instructions
 

  • Add 1/2 cup of oats to a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Chunky oats will be more exfoliating and fine ground oats will be gentle.
  • Next, add small amounts of both water and almond oil to your oats and continue to pulse. I recommend starting with 1/2 teaspoon each. The amount you add can vary as all you need to do is create a paste like consistency.
  • Adding honey, sugar, or milk can be lovely. If you add milk, you will need to use your face scrub immediately and store any leftovers in the fridge for 1-2 days. Milk is a gentle exfoliator. Honey is a natural antibiotic and is perfect for problem skin. Sugar is a gentle exfoliant that is perfect addition to remove more dead skin.
  • Once your Oat Scrub is created, store it in a glass jar for use.
  • To use your scrub, wet your face and gently massage into your face. This scrub can also be used on the body!
  • Rinse completely and then follow up with your everyday moisturizer.
