Mix up this oatmeal body scrub DIY recipe. This is the best exfoliating face wash for dry skin!
Oatmeal, cornmeal, and wheat germ all make excellent skin scrubs on their own, so why not combine the three to create a multipurpose cleansing grain mixture that can be used all over your face and body? Keep a jar of these cleansing grains in your bathroom, and add a small amount of the mixture to your favorite cleanser to give it extra cleaning power and help remove dead skin cells.
Yield: 2 ounces.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons oatmeal
Instructions:
- Mix all three ingredients together, and store in an airtight container.
- To use cleansing grains for your face, combine 1 or 2 teaspoons of the mixture with equal parts water or cleanser to create a paste. (You’ll need about 1/2 cup for your whole body.)
- Massage this paste gently into your skin.
- Rinse well with warm water, and pat dry.
