Ingredients
  • 6 Tbsp (36 g) organic rolled oats
  • 2 Tbsp (25 g) brown sugar (or other granulated sugar)
  • 1.5 tsp (5 g) basil seed, substitute chia seed (texture might differ slightly)
  • 2 Tbsp (40 g) raw honey
  • 2 Tbsp (30 ml) facial oil of choice (examples: almond oil; fractionated coconut oil; jojoba oil; olive oil)
  • 6-8 drops lavender essential oil
  • 6-8 drops rosemary essential oil
Instructions
  1. In a small blender/grinder pulse together the oatmeal & granulated sugar -- it does not have to be ground to a fine (nor uniform) powder but it should be on its way and well broken down;
  2. Add the remaining ingredients: basil seeds, facial oil of choice, honey & essential oils and pulse again until combined -- it will be an ooey, gooey, sticky (glorious!) mess -- use a spatula to transfer scrub contents and residual oils into a small clean container with a fitted lid.
  3. Store the sealed scrub in a dry spot away from direct sunlight.
  4. To use, splash some warm water on your face -- gather a couple tsp of the scrub on your fingers and gently massage onto your face (and neck if you wish) for a half minute or so adding a bit more water as necessary to get the scrub going. Be sure to avoid the eye area. Rinse thoroughly. I like to do this in the shower - it is ideal - turn off the water for a minute while you gently massage the scrub onto your face/neck and then rinse. Your skin will feel so soft and glowy!
  5. Follow-up with your regular moisturizer.
  6. If properly stored, this scrub can last up to several weeks.
