Would you like to exfoliate your skin without having to pay the high price for all of those exfoliating treatments? Here is a simple, organic and natural way to get your skin that clean healthy appearance that you are searching for.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Blender
  • 1/4 cup Raw Honey
  • 1/4 Cup Pure Oats
  • (recipe can easily be doubled and extra's stored)
  1. Step 1

    Gather your utensils and ingredients to begin making your exfoliating treatment.

  2. Step 2

    Add your 1/4 cup of raw honey and 1/4 cup of pure oats to your blender and blend thoroughly. To exfoliate skin properly you want to blend it until it becomes paste like.

  3. Step 3

    Remove your natural exfoliating treatment from the blender and place into a small bowl. This step is optional and if you choose you can simply use it directly from the blending container.

  4. Step 4

    Scoop up some of the mixture onto your fingers and massage onto your face, avoiding your eye area, using a circular motion to exfoliate skin and help remove dirt, debris and dry skin flakes.

  5. Step 5

    Leave the exfoliating treatment on your face for 10 to 20 minutes massaging every few minutes to keep it from running.

  6. Step 6

    Rinse off the exfoliating scrub using cool water. If you must use warm water (never hot) follow it up immediately with cool water to help shrink pores.

  7. Step 7

    Pat your face dry with a clean cotton rag. You now have a simple and natural way to exfoliate skin and give it that soft to the touch look it deserves right from home without all those harsh chemicals.

Tips & Warnings
  • If your mixture is too thick you can add a couple Tbsp.'s of water to it in the blender.
  • If you double or triple your mixture store the untouched leftovers in an airtight glass or plastic jar in the refrigerator. When ready to use your refrigerated exfoliating treatment microwave it for 5 to 10 seconds to take the chill out of it.
  • If you have any negative reactions to this treatment discontinue use immediately.
