Who wouldn’t love to make their own DIY face scrub? Honey is a natural antiseptic and is also very moisturizing, add that to the soothing effects of oats and you’ve got yourself an all natural, cleansing face scrub!
Make your own skin softening honey & oats face scrub at home with half a cup of raw oatmeal and three tablespoons of honey. Simply pour half a cup of oats into a food processor or a blender so that you can chop and refine the oats a bit more to ensure that you get a good exfoliating. Once you’ve refined your oats down a little pour them into a bowl. Take 3 tablespoons of honey and mix it in with your oats to create a thick paste-like consistency. When you’re ready to wash and exfoliate simply wet your face with some warm water to open up your pores some and then gently massage a small dollop of your honey and oats mixture into your face for about one to two minutes before rinsing with warm water and patting your face dry. Follow with a toner and moisturizer for a well balanced face regime. Store the extra honey and oats mixture in a plastic Ziploc bag or a plastic Tupperware container. Be sure you keep your mixture stored in the fridge as well because since this is a natural recipe and you haven’t added any preservatives it can go bad if you leave it in places that get warm and moist so I’d say storing it in the refrigerator would be best.

I think I would have a hard time not EATING this if I made it!
The beauty of this recipe is that you could! No harsh chemicals or ingredients we can’t pronounce here! 🙂
Great idea – I will have to try it. I love using all natural ingredients for skincare…especially during pregnancy!
Hello! Great idea!
First of all, I’m from Spain so I’m sorry if there is any grammar or spelling mistake in this comment.
I think this is one of my favourite scrubs, because I have very sensitive skin and honey is very gently with it.
I would like to say that in fact, honey does not go bad (Archeologists have found honey in some Egyptian piramids and it hasn’t gone bad!).I think that oatmeals do the same thing but I’m not sure.
Anyway, I will put some scrub into the frigde and a some out of it. Then I will discover if it can be conserved whitout a frigde.
I really love your blog. Thank you!
