Beauty DIY: Apple Face Scrub

The second I feel a cool breeze in the air, I'm ready for all things autumn. I thought I'd share this Apple Face Scrub because it reminds me of autumn and because a couple of you wanted a DIY with fruit. It's a classic, adaptable recipe. Enjoy.

T O O L S:

• plain, uncooked oats
• 1 c of pureed apple (I used organic applesauce since it's easier)
• 1 tsp Sweet Almond Oil

M E T H O D:

• Blend ingredients together (I use a handheld immersion mixer) until it reaches a paste consistency.
• Wet face and apply scrub, rubbing it around your face. This works best over a sink!
• Leave on for 15 minutes and then rinse away.

T I P S:

• The apple improves the skin with its anti-aging, skin-renewing properties, as well as its vitamins and minerals. You can use one small apple or applesauce, like I did. 
• The oats act as an exfoliant. Feel free to substitute your favorite exfoliant.
• The Sweet Almond Oil softens the skin and adds moisture. Feel free to leave out if you are allergic or don't want the moisture.
• Scrub can be used on the body (try your legs before shaving!) and keeps for a week in the fridge.
