Today’s idea will allow you to take care of your skin and change a little from your usual bar of soap. With these shower sachets that gently exfoliate, you will have an easy to make and use, but also economical solution that will allow you to effectively benefit from the properties of oats. This ingredient is in fact the basis of our shower sachets. It is good for your health, but it is also very common in skincare products. This is not due to chance: it helps to cleanse the skin in depth, has toning effects (perfect for aging skin) and anti-inflammatories (excellent in case of skin problems), it also strengthens the epidermis and effectively protects it from external aggressions and dehydration.
What you need:
- 320 g oats
- 1 grated soap (choose a soap you trust and is good for your skin)
- Essential oil of your choice (avoid cinnamon which irritates, prefer an essential oil that you like, but also good for the skin like lavender)
- 3 fabric bags (muslin, organza or tights for example)
The steps:
1) Put the oats and soap in a container. Mix well.
2) Fill your sachets then add 10 drops of essential oil to each one before tying them with great care.
3) They are now ready! Wet one in the shower and massage your skin with it.
4) After use, drain your sachet a little and let it dry in a ventilated place.
After several uses, there is no more soap or odor. This is normal and a sign that it’s time to wash the bags and repeat some of these steps to get new ones!
