The Porridge Cleanser!

Cleansing your face is a skincare 'must' to help achieve healthy, cleaner-looking skin - it helps remove dirt as well as deep cleansing the pores. But did you know that you can use porridge oats as a DIY cleanser?

Oats can help relieve itchiness, irritations and redness as well as absorbing the dirt and impurities, whilst exfoliating the skin without all the harmful chemicals that some beauty and skincare products have in them, making them the perfect cleansing product. 

This is an all-natural way to exfoliate and cleanse the face. If you want to give it a go then follow these easy steps:

1. Grab a plan full of porridge oats, we suggest using our Porridge with added Cane Sugar. The sugar will help exfoliate those tough dry patches. 

2. Clench your fingers together into a fist and run under lukewarm water for around 10 seconds. The water should seep through the gaps of your fingers and be partly soaked up by the oats. 

3. Open up your first and the oats should feel saturated and soft, if not add a couple of drops/splashes of water until they do. Spend around a minute massaging them into the face. This can be quite messy so make sure you are leaning over the basin at this point. 

4. Rinse face with lukewarm water, to help remove the remaining oats and sugar, then pat face dry. Finish off be applying a moisturiser of your choice.
