How to Make Oatmeal, Rose and Lemon Balm Body Scrub
Oatmeal, rose and lemon balm body scrub is a simple, natural body scrub that will help exfoliate and moisturize all skin types, though it is especially good for dry, itchy skin, as the rolled oats and almond will reduce redness and itching. Making your own body scrub can also save you money compared to buying commercial products, which often contain potentially dangerous preservatives and additives not found in homemade recipes. This body scrub will keep for about two weeks if stored in a cool, dry place between uses. Does this Spark an idea?
