If you want a super deluxe--but super inexpensive--facial for dry skin, try a rejuvenating sage, lavender and rosemary facial. The sage, lavender and rosemary essential oils stimulate the skin, the oatmeal soothes dry skin, and the pure honey, yogurt and strawberries act as gentle exfoliants.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 Tbsp. finely ground oatmeal
  • Blender or food processor
  • 2 large fresh strawberries
  • 2 Tbsp. organic, full fat yogurt
  • 1 tsp. pure organic honey
  • 2 drops lavender essential oil
  • 1 drop sage essential oil
  • 1 drop rosemary essential oil
  1. Step 1

    Place 1 Tbsp. of old fashioned oatmeal in a blender or food processor and grind it to a powder.

  2. Step 2

    Add 2 large, fresh strawberries, 2 tbsp. of organic, full fat yogurt and 1 tsp. of pure organic honey.

  3. Step 3

    Blend the ingredients until the mixture forms a smooth paste.

  4. Step 4

    Add 2 drops of lavender essential oil, 1 drop of sage essential oil and 1 drop of rosemary essential oil.

  5. Step 5

    Cleanse your face and neck, and smooth the sage, lavender and rosemary facial onto your clean skin.

  6. Step 6

    Leave the sage, lavender and rosemary facial on for 15 to 20 minutes, and rinse with warm water.

  7. Step 7

    Finish by applying a light layer of your favorite moisturizer.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be sure to use old fashioned oatmeal or rolled oats in the sage, lavender and rosemary facial. Don't use instant oatmeal because it won't have the same effect.
  • Use only full-fat yogurt in the sage, lavender and rosemary facial. The fat in the yogurt will soften and moisturize the skin.
