DIY Exfoliator

Tuesday, July 19, 2011

Let's face it.. 
{no pun intended}
I LOVE skin care products. I am a sucker for them & I probably have 10 different washes to choose from. 
I can be in any store that carries anything skin care and take my sweet time comparing and contrasting ingredients.
But nothing is better than a DIY wash, mask, exfoliator.

What you'll need:
2 tbsp Oatmeal
1 tbsp Baking Soda
warm water
Simply add oatmeal & baking soda together.
Then, add a small amount of water to make it pasty. (be careful not to add too much)
Use fingers to rub face in circular motions for 1-2 minutes.
Wash off with warm water & pat dry.

Benefits of Ingredients
Oatmeal - remember when you had chicken pox & your mom put you in an oatmeal bath? The reason: oatmeal is very healing and soothing. It is one of the most popular natural & effective ingredients for your skin. Not only is it ultra moisturizing, it also helps to gently clear dirt & grime from your pores leaving your face smooth & clean.
Baking Soda - it works as a fighting agent. Think of it as a little Pac Man...eats away all your dead skin and dirt.

**I love the combo of these two.
