This Homemade Face Scrub for Glowing Skin will leave your skin looking bright and healthy. With just three ingredients, it is easy to make and economical.
Have you ever made a Homemade Face Scrub for Glowing Skin?
It sounds like it could be complicated and that it would be easier just to use a purchased scrub. In reality, it is SO EASY (5 minutes, tops!), economical and works so well!
If I want my skin to look its best, I have to pay particular attention to exfoliation. My skin has a tendency to look dull, and even as I get older, I am prone to congested pores. Since my skin is also sensitive, I need something that is gentle enough that I can use daily without causing irritation.
Enter this super-easy to make scrub made with just three ingredients: oatmeal, powdered coconut milk, and essential oils! (You can use regular - preferably organic - milk too.)
I used one of my favorite essential oil blends: Soft Skin.
Soft Skin is a blend of Lavender, Frankincense Serrata, Lemon, Petitgrain, Coriander, Turmeric, and Rose Absolute.
It is perfect for "mature" skin like mine, helping to counteract dryness and preventing the look of fine lines. I use the roller bottle daily around my eyes twice a day and can already tell a difference after a few weeks!
Before I had Soft Skin, I made this DIY Exfoliating Face Scrub with Lavender and Clary Sage and loved that too.
Since this exfoliating scrub is so economical to make, I also like to use it on my body. Just make sure that you grind the oatmeal really fine if you plan on using it in the shower or it can leave a big mess.
The Quality of The Essential Oils You Use Matters!
After looking closely at the quality, purity, and ethics of so many companies, I've fallen in love with both the company and their oils. They have a large line of organic oils and are serious about safety. Every single batch is tested to ensure purity!

Hi Wendy
I absolutely love your blog and have successfully tried loads of your recipes!
This is the first time I’ll be trying one of your DYLIY beauty treatments. I have a question- I’m allergic to oatmeal, what would be a good substitution?
Thanks!

So glad you have enjoyed the recipes! Subbing out oatmeal is a tough on in this recipe. Maybe try quinoa flakes if you can find them?

Hi there! What kind of oatmeal is needed for this?
Wendy Polisi
I use the regular (not quick cooking) kind.

I mean, like Quaker Oats??!

I usually get mine in the bulk bins at Whole Foods, but that would work.
