Rice Flour Face Scrub Recipe
Exfoliating your skin is essential for keeping breakouts at bay, and this rice flour scrub does the trick—but without irritation.
Yield: 1 scrub
Cost: $5
Equipment
- Small bowl or airtight glass container
Materials
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 1 tablespoon yogurt
- 1 teaspoon dried chamomile (may also use rose or jasmine blossoms)
- ¼ cup rice flour
- 5 drops tea tree oil
- 1–2 tablespoons water (enough to make a fine paste)
Instructions
- Combine everything except the water in a small bowl and mix well.
- To use, take a bit of scrub into the palm of your hands and add 1–2 tablespoons of water to make a paste. Apply the paste to freshly cleansed skin, using gentle circular motions to slough away dead skin cells. Rinse with warm water, and follow with moisturizer.
Notes
To make this scrub ahead of time, combine the rice flour, chamomile, and tea tree essential oil in an airtight glass jar and mix well. Secure the lid and place the jar in a cool, dry place.
When you're ready to use it, scoop a little rice flour into a separate bowl or the palm of your hand. Add water, a dab of honey and a small spoonful of yogurt (or just water, if you'd prefer to keep things simple). Mix until it forms a paste and apply as usual.
