For those with impure or acne-prone skin, creating a gentle yet effective exfoliation at home is simple. A blend of rice flour and oat flour offers the perfect texture to deeply cleanse while soothing and refreshing your skin. Here’s how to create your own purifying exfoliating treatment:
Ingredients:
- 1 level teaspoon of rice flour
- 1 full teaspoon of oat flour
- A few drops of hot water
- 2-3 drops of tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)
Instructions:
- In a small cup, mix the rice flour and oat flour with a little hot water to form a thick, smooth cream.
- Add 2-3 drops of tea tree oil for its antimicrobial benefits, making the exfoliation even more purifying.
- Gently massage the mixture onto your face, focusing on areas with blackheads or impurities.
- Let the mask sit on your skin for 5 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water, followed by a splash of cold water to close your pores.
- Pat your face dry with disposable paper towels to avoid bacteria transfer.
Remember to remove all excess mixture after use, as natural ingredients don't have a long shelf life.
