DIY Colloidal Oatmeal Body Scrub Recipe

Introducing the Gentle Oat Scrub – a perfect and simple body or facial exfoliant with all-natural ingredients and no additives.

This customizable scrub is designed to gently exfoliate dead skin while infusing calming nutrients and healthy oils. Say goodbye to store-bought scrubs filled with preservatives and hello to a fresh and cost-effective alternative.

How To Make Your Colloidal Oatmeal Scrub

Supplies Needed:

• Colloidal oats
• Almond Oil (or oil of your choice)
• Water
• Blender or Food Processor (not necessary if your colloidal oatmeal is premade)

Optional Ingredients (But highly recommended):

• Honey
• Milk (you can use powdered milk to make the scrub last longer)
• Sugar

Here’s how to create your Gentle Oat Scrub:

1. Add 1/2 cup of oats to a food processor and pulse until finely ground. For a more exfoliating texture, leave some oats chunky; for gentler exfoliation, grind them finely.
2. Gradually add small amounts of water and almond oil to the oats while pulsing. Start with 1/2 teaspoon each, adjusting as needed to achieve a paste-like consistency.
3. For a delightful touch, you can add honey, sugar, or milk. If using milk, use the scrub immediately and store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 1-2 days (stores for up to 2 weeks without milk). Milk gently exfoliates, while honey acts as a natural antibiotic for problem skin, and sugar provides a gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin.
4. Once your Oatmeal Scrub is ready, store it in a glass jar for use.
5. To use the scrub, wet your face or body(it is perfect for either) and gently massage it onto your skin. This versatile scrub can also be applied to the body!
6. Rinse thoroughly and follow up with a moisturizer for a refreshing and nourishing finish.
