My new regime of using only natural Witch Hazel and Almond Oil on my face is going well. The extreme dryness (caused by a reaction to a really 'posh' skincare cream I was given) is abating.
Cheered by these results I wanted to try a natural skin polish, in order to help get rid of those last pesky flaky skins cells. So last night I mixed up some honey with a teaspoon of porridge oats, added a little dash of milk, to the mix to help with the consistency and then rubbed the mix onto my face. I was really dubious about this, but had read so many times about this type of mix that I thought it would be worth giving it and go. And it absolutely was!
The whole process was a bit messy, as the oats dropped off as I used them, so I had to lean over the bathroom sink to catch the mess. But as I worked the oats on my skin, the oats became really soft and the honey mix meant that it really glided over my skin. It felt absolutely gorgeous!
I used one of my trusty face-cloths to wash the mix off and my skin felt really super smooth afterwards. I even had to get JW to feel it, so that he could check-out the difference too, (he humoured me and made the appropriate confirmation of softness; he is a good husband!)
It only took a couple of minutes to mix up (if that) and another couple of minutes to rub on and wash off. 100% natural, quick, cheap, packaging free and effective. What is not to like! Oats, Honey and Milk Mix will now be part of my regular routine.
