Oatmeal-Honey Scrubbing Cream

1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon ground almonds

Combine all ingredients in a glass or enamel bowl.

To use, wet a clean washcloth with very warm water and lay it on your face for a minute OR first steam your face with an herbal vinegar. Apply the oatmeal mixture to your face, being careful to avoid the sensitive area around your eyes. Let mixture dry on your skin completely.

If your skin is young and firm, you can gently rub the dried mixture off with a clean terry washcloth or towel. Lean over the sink and rub your face in brisk, but gentle, circles with the cloth. Rinse with warm water, pat dry, and apply a fresh facial cream.
