Although no facial product can turn back the clock, a homemade scrub made of natural, skin-friendly ingredients can add a healthy glow as it moisturizes and rejuvenates dry, mature skin. A facial scrub with an avocado base is especially effective, as avocado is chock full of nutrients and essential fatty acids, says SelfGrowth.com. Combine an avocado with a few other kitchen staples for a facial scrub that will leave your face feeling like a million dollars.
Step 1
Peel one small, ripe avocado and remove the pit. Place half of the avocado in a small mixing bowl, and then mash the avocado with a fork.
Step 2
Place 4 tsp. oatmeal in a coffee grinder or food processor and grind the oatmeal until it resembles coarse sand. Add the oatmeal to the avocado, along with 2 tsp. honey and 2 tsp. olive oil. Mix thoroughly.
Step 3
Moisten your face with warm water, then massage the scrub onto your skin using gentle, circular motions. Rinse with warm water. Dry your face gently with a soft towel, and then apply your favorite moisturizer.
