This sweet mixture of kitchen staples will leave your skin feeling as smooth as a cream pie. In addition to being good to eat, these ingredients are also kind to your skin.\r\n
About the Ingredients<\/h3>\r\n
Rolled Oats<\/h4>\r\nGround rolled oats act as a gentle exfoliator. They're also moisturizing, soothing, anti-inflammatory and non-irritating to most skin types. (You can grind rolled oats in a blender, food processor or by hand with a mortar and pestle.)\r\n
Honey<\/h4>\r\nHoney is packed with antioxidants that can slow the signs of aging. Plus, it\u2019s moisturizing and soothing, creating a healthy glow and making hands feel smoother.\r\n
Lemon Juice<\/h4>\r\nThe citric acid in lemon juice can help lighten discoloration and fade dark spots when used regularly, making your skin look brighter and younger.\r\n
Brown Sugar<\/h4>\r\nThe glycolic acid in sugar acts as a natural skin peel, sloughing off dead cells and accelerating skin cell turnover. Brown sugar is finer than white sugar and easier on sensitive skin such as hands and face.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_822750\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"1024\"] Taste Recipes[\/caption]\r\n
