How to Create an Exfoliating Facial Scrub

Plain oatmeal is the basis of this all-natural exfoliating facial scrub

Any healthy skin care regimen should include an exfoliating facial scrub two to three times a week. Exfoliating your skin helps to remove dead skin cells, and promote the growth of new cells. Instead of a dull ashy look, this facial scrub invigorates your skin to maintain a healthy, natural glow. Here is a step-by-step guide to creating an exfoliating facial scrub.

Things You'll Need

• Plain oatmeal
• Honey
• Facial toner
• Facial moisturizer

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup oatmeal with enough honey to create a thick paste.

2. Gently rub the paste onto your face. Avoid the eye area. Leave the scrub on your face for 5 minutes.

3. With warm water, rinse the scrub off your face.

4. Wipe your face with toner to clean off any honey or oatmeal left on your skin.

5. Generously apply your normal facial moisturizer.

Tips & Warnings

• If the oatmeal is on the large side, slightly crush it as you are mixing it with the honey.

• Do not rub the paste on your face excessively as your facial skin is very delicate. Spread the paste gently on your face with the lightest amount of pressure.
