We love a good face and body scrub and these oatmeal scrubs work for all skin types. Oatmeal is incredibly soothing to the skin, but it must be finely ground up to be used as a scrub.
To make 1/2 cup of ground oatmeal for scrubs, use a blender, small food processor or coffee grinder. Grind 3/4 to 1 cup of oatmeal until it has the consistency of flour.
Here are three wonderful oatmeal scrubs for the face and body:
Oatmeal & Brown Sugar Scrub for the Face
This scrub includes ingredients you may already have on hand in your kitchen: egg, milk, brown sugar, oatmeal and more.
If you don’t use it all at once, this scrub needs to be refrigerated and it will last a few days in the refrigerator.
Ingredients
- 1 cup oatmeal ground up in a food processor
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- one teaspoon sweet almond oil
- 2 tablespoons regular milk (no fat-free here, please!)
- The whites of one egg (you can use the whole egg if you please)
Recipe
Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together. If the consistency isn’t spreadable, add a few more drops of oil.
To Use
Apply in a circular motion to face and neck. If you need more sugar, add it in. Your goal is to exfoliate the dead skin on your face.
Rinse with a warm washcloth.
Apply moisturizer to cleansed, scrubbed skin.
Oatmeal & Milk Scrub for the Face
We love this facial scrub because it includes only 4 ingredients, all of which can be stored in the pantry. You can mix the dry ingredients together and store them in a Ball jar until you’re ready for the scrub.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup finely ground oatmeal
- 1/4 cup powdered milk
- 1 teaspoon cornmeal
- water
Recipe
Place all the dry ingredients in a Ziploc bag and shake, shake, shake. Pour the ingredients into a bowl.
To Use
Take about a tablespoon of the dry ingredients into your palm and add a few drops of water to create a paste. Massage over the face and neck. Let it dry and rinse with warm water. Follow with moisturizer.
Oatmeal & Almond Scrub for the Body
This is a basic, wonderful scrub for the body.
Ingredients
- 2 cups finely ground oatmeal
- 1 cup almond meal
- One cup sunflower seed flour, or you can use brown sugar instead
- 1 tbsp ground rosemary leaves
- 5 drops of your favorite essential oil (optional)
- Whole milk, at least half a cup.
Recipe
Place all the dry ingredients in a Ziploc bag and shake, shake, shake. Pour the ingredients into a bowl and then add a few tablespoons of milk until you have formed a paste. You do not need to measure perfectly, just make sure it has the consistency of a paste.
To Use
Apply in a circular motion to damp legs, butt, back and the backs of arms. Let it dry and then rinse. Follow with moisturizer or a body oil.Read More…..
