DIY Facial Scrub

One of my goals this year is to eliminate any non natural product from my skin care routine. However, one of the first steps that I have to make is to use up all the products that I already own. ( I do not like to waste products.) The first item in my skin care routine that I already finished up was my facial scrub and that is why I am sharing with you my new facial scrub, that only consist of two ingredients.





What I use:

1 Teaspoon of Honey

1/2 Teaspoon of Oat Flour 
( If you do not have Oat Flour you can make it yourself by just putting some oats in the blender until they are ground into a powder-like consistency. Also make sure that you blender or food processor is dry, you do not want your oats to be moist.)

I storage my oat flour in a zip lock bag but feel free to storage it in any other container that will keep them try. 

TIP: You want more honey than oats. Otherwise the mixture will be too thick for you to exfoliate.
When I have pimples I put a drop of lemon juice to help me get rid of them.

Why these two ingredients?

Honey: Great for moisturizing the skin.

Oats: Can absorb and remove the dirt and impurities from the skin surface.

How to make the Scrub:

I take both ingredients in the palm of my hand and mix them until I make a paste like consistency. (You can also mix them in a container. I prefer the palm of my hand because is easier and I do not have to clean the container. Lazy me!) 

How I use it:

I  use this the same way I use any other regular facial scrub. I massage the mixture in circular motions on my face and neck. Then, I just wash it off with water and apply my moisturizer.

After using this method I have seen a great difference in how my face looks and feels. I seriously could not stop touching my face after using it for the first time. My skin felt super soft and moisturize.
