Natural Beauty recipes: Oatmeal and almond facial scrub

Natural Beauty recipes: Oatmeal and almond facial scrub

One of the best natural beauty recipes perfect for sensitive and aging skin is an oatmeal, almond facial scrub. Oatmeal heals and soothes while almond is full of rich fats and protein, ensuring that skin is revitalized and nourished.
When choosing oatmeal for your homemade oatmeal and almond facial scrub select from slow cooking or old fashioned oatmeal as these are more effective than the quick cooking oats. Use fresh almonds that have been grounded finely. You may use a food processor to blend the two ingredients. Though the recipe may sound simple, it is extremely effective.

Oatmeal and Almond facial scrub:

Blend ¼ cup ground oats with ¼ cup finely grounded almonds. Once the ingredients are mixed, blend with a little bit of water until you have a spreadable consistency. Apply to the face and massage in backwards circles. Rinse your face thoroughly with warm water and pat dry.

Nature's Alchemy Sweet Almond Oil, 100% Pure, 16 fl oz (473 ml)When it comes to natural beauty one ingredient often found in many homemade beauty recipes as well as commercially prepared beauty products is Almond. You may find almond in facial scrubs and masks as well as sweet almond oil in preparations for skin and body moisturizers and creams as well as in hair conditioners. Whether using almond meal or sweet almond oil, oil is known for having a rich fatty content which is similar to the natural sebum produced by skin, making it a perfect moisturizer.

A popular choice for skin is almond butter. Though almond meal and sweet almond oil are popular choices, users are cautioned of using bitter almond oil as its safety is disputed.

Sweet almond oil is rich in minerals, protein and fatty acids. It is recommended for all skin types but is specifically beneficial for those with sensitive or aging skin. If making your own beauty recipes with almond oil, keep it refrigerated and buy only as much as needed as Almond oil has a short shelf life.
