Oat & Brown Sugar Scrub Recipe



OK, I am all about natural and organic products that are great for personal use. I have found a great recipe for Oat and Brown Sugar Facial Scrub that does wonders. You don't have to go spend all these crazy amounts of money on various facial products, when you have the natural ingredients right in you kitchen. Check out this recipe and hope you love it as much as I do!

2 Tbsp. ground oats
2 tsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. aloe vera
1 tsp. lemon juice

Mix all ingredients in a clean bowl until you have a smooth paste. Gently massage onto damp skin, and rinse off with warm water. You can triple the recipe for a fantastic smoothing body treatment.

Ground Oats: use rolled oats and a clean coffee grinder or blender to grind the flakes to a fine powder.

Storage: This recipe is perishable and should be used right away.

Did you know?

Oatmeal is highly absorptive, hypoallergenic, and helps to soften skin. Oats have the best amino acid balance of all the cereal grains (amino acids work as water-binding agents in skin care products). Oats have also been clinically shown to help heal dry, itchy skin. Oat grains and straw appear in shampoos, dusting powders, moisturizers, and cleansing bars and more.

Aloe Vera - The juice of this plant helps reduce pain, gel from plant helps prevent infection and speeds healing of burns, drink helps reduce size of kidney stones.
