Ingredients:

  • Ground Oatmeal (for those in the UK, this means porridge oats!). To grind the oats just pulse in a blender until you have fine oatmeal.
  • Ground, fresh rosemary.
  • Cinnamon powder.
  • Water OR milk OR cream (see below).

Method

  1. Add 3 tablespoons of oats to a jug or medium sized bowl.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon fresh, ground rosemary.
  3. For delicious scent, add half teaspoon of cinnamon powder.
  4. Choose which liquid you want to use depending on your skin type: cool boiled water for oily skin, milk for normal skin or cream for dry skin.
  5. Add enough wet ingredients to form a paste with the dry ingredients.
  6. Dampen face, and spread the paste all over. To use as a scrub wash off straightaway; to use as a mask, leave on for 20 mins before washing off.

The beauty of making your own skin care products is that you know exactly what is in your product, and many recipes, like this one, are made from basic kitchen ingredients. The cost is minimal, but the results are fantastic. Creating your own beauty products as part of an organic lifestyle is fun, entertaining and effective. Enjoy!
