I saw this facial scrub recipe from the Internet and it looked so simple yet seemed going to be very effective and work nicely that I decided I had to have it.

So here is my final ingredients used for the recipe: brown sugar, grinded oatmeal, honey, small amount of baking soda, fresh juice extracted from seedless white grape, extra virgin olive oil and pure tea tree oil. Just mix the dry ingredients well first, then add honey in, finally drizzle olive oil and tea tree oil to make a well mixed paste like cream. Spoon into a glass bottle or container, and it’s done.

I tried it straight away in my shower. Rub a bit on my face and make a small circle movement to enjoy the scrub feeling. The grinded oatmeal provided the medium for exfoliating and olive oil has cleansing function itself, so does baking soda. Needless to say, honey and brown sugar are always good to skin, and tea tree oil can work like an effective antiseptic material to treat inflammation.

It’s totally natural and free of nasty chemical ingredients like what you normally get from those commercial skin care products sold on the market with rediculously high prices. And it feels equally great when you use it. It cleans, naturally, but doesn’t give you any greasy feeling. I have put it in the refrigerator for store, and I reckon I would use it up fairly quickly.

Certainly I would try other different ingredients next time, like avocado, macdamia oil, sweet almond oil and sea salt. It’s definitely better than trying some skincare products that you pay a high price but have no idea what’s in it.
