DIY Oatmeal Scrub~

An oatmeal scrub is one of the best face cleansers. It opens pores, flushes out dirt and toxins, can be used to treat irritation and itching, and has anti-inflammatory properties. The best part is is that anyone can use it, because its suited for every type of skin!


To make this mask, all you need is oatmeal. That's it! The only drawback is that you can't use any flavored oatmeal. 


First, you need a handful of oatmeal. You can wet it any way you like but I  find that the best way is just to get a handful of oatmeal and clench it in your fist, and run your fist under a stream of warm water. When it gets wet (you'll know when) then open your fist, and press your fingers into the oats. You should see a milky looking liquid come up, you can drain this or put it on your face if you'd like(: After this, you rub the oatmeal all over your face, and wash it off with warm water. Because this mask opens your pores, be sure to do an ice facial to reduce the size of them. (Ice Facial= rubbing a regular ice cube over your face. It takes some getting used to.) 


Enjoy! :3
