Oats Cleansers

March 28, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 1 Comment

Oats are remarkably cleansing. With healing, anti – inflammatory , softening & moisturizing properties, they are also high in silica & making them  great for skin, nails & hair. For years professionals have heralded oats as the cleansing grain therefore recommending using  oats for irritated, sensitive skin. Keep a jar of fine oatmeal near your sink, shower or bath & use it daily to cleanse every inch of your body. A couple of drops of lavender essential oil added to the mix will keep it fragrant. You can also wrap a handful of oats in a piece of muslin ( cheesecloth) and use as a wash ball on babies tender skin ……. they will love it.

TRY AN ALMOND OR OAT MILK PASTE CLEANSER

Simply soak 1/2 cup of almond meal/oatmeal or a combination of both in 1/2 cup of  **milk ( suited to your skin type – see below ) overnight. Use the mix to cleanse your face in the morning. Both combinations are very cleansing, hydrating and will keep the skin blemish free.

**Milks for your skintype

All or Normal – Buttermilk, Goats Milk, Rice Milk, Soy Milk.

Oily – Buttermilk, Skim Milk

Dry – Full Cream, Soy Milk, Goats Milk.

Sensitive – Buttermilk, Goats Milk, Soy Milk.

Dehydrated – Full Cream, Rice Milk, Soy Milk.

Mature – Full Cream, Soy Milk.

Acneous – Rice Milk, Skim Milk.

DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
