Spring and Summer are (hopefully) on their way and that means you’ll be showing more skin. Hey, girl, hey. The winter can leave you hairy (sorry, hubs) and scaly but as the weather warms, it’s time to slough it all off. I cannot believe that stores charge (and THAT PEOPLE PAY) so much money for something that you can easily make at home, with natural ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. This is my Coconut Oatmeal Scrub. Oatmeal has anti-inflammatory properties and it’s great for even the most sensitive of skin. It’s moisturizing, contains natural cleansers, helps to treat eczema, rosacea and other skin rashes. And coconut oil is, well, miraculous.
Ingredients
½ cup raw oats
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
½ coconut oil, melted
Directions
In a food processor or a blender, chop the oats until they are small in size but not too fine, as you do not want oat flour. You want them to be small enough to fit down the drain, if they have to.
Combine the sugars and the oats in a bowl.
Pour in your coconut oil and mix well.
Use immediately or store in an air tight container. I keep mine in a Mason jar. Of course. ;)
You could leave the white sugar out if you want it to be a little less exfoliating. Because Coconut oil is solid, you might have to run your jar under hot water for a few minutes before you use it. That will loosen the oats a little and make it easier to get the scrub out. Also, if you use this in the shower, be sure to rinse the tub really, really well. I don't want to be the one that makes you slip and fall!
