Best ever simple home made skin remedy
Here is a recipe for the best thing I ever did for my skin. For those with sensitive skin that doesn’t appreciate harsh exfoliators, this is a beautiful and gentle way to effectively ‘dissolve’ the dead skin cells. Apply once a week instead of exfoliating for soft and nourished skin that glows.
Take half a cup or so of organic oats and pop them into a food processor. Process to a fine powder, and store in a small sealed glass jar. Once a week, take a couple of teaspoons full of the oatmeal into a small dish and add just enough warm water to make a spreadable paste. Using a pastry brush (or your fingers if you prefer), apply as a mask over your entire face, avoiding the eye area. Leave for no more than five minutes and then step into a warm steamy shower to rinse off. Follow with a spritzer (eg Rosewater) and moisturiser.
Yummy!
