DIY: Milky Oatmeal Powder Facial Cleanser

[divadoll]

So, I've been using this for a couple of weeks now so I thought I will share the recipe with you. It's very mild, great for all skin types and it is all natural.

ingredients:

-oatmeal or oat flour

-milk powder

-honey powder

-kaolin clay

-xanthum gum

-baking soda

-washing soda

-essential oils

In a food processor/blender/magic bullet, combine:

3 tbs oatmeal (not instant) or oat flour

3 tbs milk powder (I use whole milk powder, but you can use goats milk or even powdered skim milk because its available at a grocery store)

-Grind until it is becomes flour. There will be some grit but not much if you are patient.

Add to the mix:

3 tbs kaolin clay

1 tbs honey powder

1 tsp xanthum gum

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp sodium carbonate (washing soda)

10 drops Lavender essential oil

10 drops Tea Tree oil

5 drops Juniper essential oil

Grind everything until it is well mixed then put it in a powder shaker or a large spice shaker.

To use:

Shake some powder into your wet palm and mix between your wet palms to form a light paste. Rub on to your face like you would if you were using soap. Leave it on for about 2 minutes, then rinse.

It leaves your face clean but well moisturized. It may look like it needs alot of ingredients but those ingredients are pretty handy to have and can be used to make lots of other skincare products.

Looks nice and i have pretty much all the ingredients at hands. I have a nice chestnut honey at home, could i use that instead of the powder (i can get the powder, it's just i really love my chestnut honey

) ?

You'd probably have to add that ingredient separately - not mix it in because you'd have to store the paste. You can leave the honey powder out all together and mix the honey in and use it as a mask. Without the honey, you can use it as a cleanser. Nice honey, you'd want to leave it on your face for longer so it can do its magic
