A good exfoliator is a prime part of any skincare routine. When I went green, I had to find alternatives for my previous cleanser with exfoliating beads. Fortunately, a natural face scrub can be quickly assembled using just a few ingredients from the kitchen. :)
Ingredients:
- Oatmeal
- Baking soda
- Brown/cane sugar
Mix the oatmeal, baking soda, and sugar according to a 2:1:1 ratio. You can decrease the amount of baking soda if you have sensitive skin. Blend the oatmeal before mixing with the baking soda and sugar if you prefer a finer face scrub.
After washing your face, take a small scoop of the exfoliating mixture and mix it with a bit of warm water to form a paste. Gently rub the mixture over your face for about one minute before rinsing.
Ta-dah! Clear and smooth skin is made from the kitchen, not from a chemist's lab.
Benefits:
- Baking soda removes dead skin and absorbs oil
- Oatmeal removes impurities and soothes the skin
- Brown/cane sugar smooths and protects skin
This simple but effective recipe has earned a permanent place in my skincare routine. Hopefully it will find a place in yours too!
Stay glowing,
