We all know the routine; cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise; but what does exfoliating actually do? Exfoliating helps to slough off dead skin cells and leaves your face glowing and fresh looking. This gorgeous recipe contains oats to gently exfoliate and calm the skin, honey to cleanse, brown sugar for exfoliation and hydration and jojoba oil to reduce redness and dryness. All that amazing goodness is further enhanced by the addition of therapeutic aromatherapy oils: Frankincense which is reputed to lessen the appearance of wrinkles and age spots, Geranium believed to help tighten skin and act as an anti-inflammatory and Lavender (you knew it would be in there!) to cleanse, calm and lessen redness.

You will receive one 50 ml bottle of Jojoba Oil, one 10 ml bottle of Frankincense Dilute essential oil, one 10 ml bottle of Geranium essential oil and one 10 ml bottle of Lavender essential oil.

Ingredients

• 1 x tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 x tablespoon oats
• 1 x tablespoon honey
• 50ml of Jojoba Oil
• 2 x drops Frankincense essential oil
• 2 x drops Geranium essential oil
• 1 x drop Lavender essential oil

Grind oats and brown sugar into a fine powder using a blender. Combine all the other ingredients in a bowl, add the oat and sugar powder and mix well. Wet your face with a little warm water and apply a small amount of exfoliator. Massage gently for 2-3 minutes, using small circular motions. Remove with a clean flannel, soaked in warm water. Pat face dry.

The Oatilicious Exfoliator makes a very thoughtful gift. You can either make it up yourself by ordering the ingredients in our online shop and dispense it into a pretty jar to gift or give the lucky recipient the ingredients along with the link to the recipe and they can have a go themselves!

We always recommend doing a little patch test first, as you should when trying any new skincare product for the first time, particularly if you have sensitive skin. Always mix essential oils with a suitable carrier oil, never apply them directly on to skin.
