This exfoliator powder was inspired by the company, S.W. Basics. The oats, almonds, and mineral-rich salt gently remove dead skin cells. Combine the powder with a liquid to create a gentle exfoliator.
Place the almonds and oats in a blender jar. Blend until the ingredients resemble a flour-like texture. Add the salt and pulse for just a couple of seconds to combine.
Spoon the mixture into a storage jar with a lid. Seal the jar.
To Use:
Combine 1 tablespoon of powder with 1-2 teaspoons of liquid of choice-- water or oil (sweet almond, jojoba, or olive oil work well)--until you reach your desired consistency. Wet your hands. Gently massage the exfoliator on the face and/or body, using circular motions, for about 30 seconds. Rinse with a warm, damp washcloth.
Notes
This exfoliator is easy to customize. If you want something super simple, just use oats. I you want a finer exfoliator, or don't have a high-powered blender, and want to use almonds, go with blanched almond flour instead of grinding almonds.If you don't want to use salt, skip it! Customize and tweak this recipe to your liking. This about you, girl! Store the powder in the fridge for up to 6 months. 1 tablespoon of exfoliator makes enough for me to exfoliate my face and the top of my chest. If you need less or more, adjust the amount as needed.
