Honey Oat Scrub for Face and Body

We present this Honey Oat Scrub for the face and body as a simple self-care recipe that truly benefits the skin. Some of my friends are skeptical about putting food on their faces and bodies. I say, if it is good enough to put into your body, it is even better to put it onto your body. Plus, you can pat yourself on the back for using all-natural plant-based ingredients and no preservatives on that gorgeous body.

Last blog, we explored that oatmeal is as good for your skin as it is for your heart. The omega-3 fatty acids, folate, potassium, and fiber are most noteworthy. Superfood oats can lower bad cholesterol levels and help keep arteries clear in support of healthy heart function.

On the skin, oatmeal functions as a protectant, and an oatmeal bath will shield the skin from irritants while it soothes dehydrated, itchy, and inflamed skin. Oats also brighten the skin. If you have brown spots, keep after them with oat treatments like this one!
