Vanilla And Green Tea Oatmeal Face Scrub hydrates, nourishes and detoxifies skin. This face scrub left my skin feeling so fresh and soft. It has huge antioxidant properties and it packed full of nourishment.

My skin has needed a good detox for a while. Lately it has been feeling congested, dull, rough and needing some serious TLC. I started thinking about all of my concerns with my skin and came up with a hydrating, antioxidant Vanilla And Green Tea Oatmeal Face Scrub to give my skin the kick start it needs and inject some life back into it!

The festive season was not kind to my skin or my waistline so it’s time to get back into the swing of things and start taking good care of my body from the inside out.

Vanilla And Green Tea Oatmeal Face Scrub hydrates, nourishes and detoxifies skin. This face scrub left my skin feeling so fresh and soft. It has huge antioxidant properties and it packed full of nourishment.
I’m a huge loved of homemade products. I love making them and coming up with new blends and combinations that will help my skin. I love it when I get good results. My background is in Beauty Therapy. Some call it Beautician but my skills and qualifications are higher than just pedicures and basic treatments. I’ve always has a passion for essential oils and worked selling and prescribing blends to customers and also woke in a beautiful Day Spa focused around natural and organic skin care. So as you can imagine I get excited when I create my little homemade scrubs and skincare and even more excited when the results are fabulous.

Vanilla And Green Tea Oatmeal Face Scrub
Considering my skin felt lifeless and pretty gross I wanted something that was going to boost my skin, give it a good deep clean but keep it hydrated all at the same time. My skin has also felt quite dry of late so I didn’t want to add anything that was going to further dry my skin.

I searched my pantry and came up with this delicious blend. That’s the thing I love about homemade scrubs, you can really play around with blends and mixes and use lots of ingredients from your kitchen pantry!

The core ingredients I chose to use in this Vanilla And Green Tea Oatmeal Face Scrub are:

Green Tea
Green Tea improves the overall health of your skin and is an antioxidant. A perfect ingredient if you are a smoker or have been easting or drinking a little more than usual. It will help give your skin the detox your skin needs. It is also amazing to drink green tea on a regular basis for even more benefits.

Oats (Oatmeal)
Oatmeal is one of those ingredients that tends to sit in the background while others tend to stay in the spotlight. I love this ingredients because it has so many benefits. Among some of it’s great benefits oatmeal is a great ingredient for hypersensitive skins, it is anti-inflammatory and it contains a natural mild cleaning agent to assist in deep cleaning your skin. It helps exfoliate your skin and is knows to help with skin conditions like eczema and skin rashes. These are just a few of it’s wonderful benefits.

Vanilla And Green Tea Oatmeal Face Scrub
Lavender
Not everyone likes the smell of lavender but this essential oil is packed full of amazing benefits. It is a gentle floral fragrance that helps to relax your senses. It is a healing oil as well as assist in conditions like acne. It helps to hydrate and keep skin balanced. If you don’t like the smell of this oil you can use a different oil like chamomile, jasmine or rose to give your scrub a beautiful smell and some lovely hydrating and healing benefits.

Organic Honey
Honey is another super power is the world of natural skincare ingredients. This delicious ingredient is filled with antioxidants and is also antibacterial. It hydrates, exfoliates at the same time as helps to heal skin, fights acne and aids in slowing down the aging process.
Olive Oil
A lot of people may cringe at the idea of putting something like basic olive oil on their face but this oil has so many great benefits. It’s another natural antioxidant and contains Vitamin E. It helps to unclog pored and assists with exfoliation.

So as you can see though this face scrub isn’t the prettiest thing getting around it sure does deliver some wonderful benefits to your skin and I can completely vouch for it as I created it and tried it on my skin first before even considering photographing the product and publishing this post.

I really found my skin to feel SO much better after. The only downfall I find to this scrub is that the bits of green tea can be a little difficult to completely get off with just water so have a face washer on hand to wash off any excess left stuck on your skin. If you make a big batch of this scrub you can also use it all over the body.

Here’s the full recipe for you!

      It smells SO good Chelsea! Make it, I bet you will love it! At first it feels strange on your face but as you work it into your skin you get used to the feeling and once you wash it off your skin just feels so nice.

    I didn’t realize oatmeal was so great for sensitive skin, which I definitely have. I should try to make this! Thanks for sharing the recipe at Merry Monday!

      Yes, it’s fabulous! I would suggest be careful with how much lavender you add to it though if you do try it as sensitive skins can react to lavender oil also though it’s a good oil for the skin. Maybe a drop or two in a batch and see how you go from there.

    Hi Maria! This looks so lovely, and talk about mega nutrients for the face! Could I use brown sugar instead of the white sugar, or would it be too rough?

    Thank you, XO

      Hi Nia, you can definitely use brown sugar, maybe crush it finer before mixing the rest of the ingredients in to make sure it’s not to coarse for your delicate facial skin.
