Milk, Oatmeal and Sweet Syrup Facial Scrub Submitted by: PeachScrub | Date Added: 13 Oct 2009 | Listed in: Face / Facial Scrub

2 tbsp finely ground oatmeal (use your coffee grinder)
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp maple syrup, agave syrup/nectar or rice syrup
2 tsp (or more) soy or rice milk
Dash fresh lemon juice

Put the ground oatmeal in a bowl. Now add the sugar and syrup in and mix gently. Add the milk and lemon juice into the mixture and mix it again thoroughly. Once you have a thick paste, it’s ready to use.

Begin applying the scrub to the face in small circular motions. Never pull downwards on any part of your facial skin or eye areas. Pulling downwards can lead to excess sagging of the skin. The oatmeal does not stick to the skin, however, the thin layer that remains will nurture your skin. Leave the scrub on the skin for 10 minutes. Gently rinse the face with warm water, pat dry and enjoy the freshness.

Tip: Agave Nectar is sweeter than honey but it is less viscous.
