Oatmeal, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, brown sugar…this scrub is the perfect blend of my favorite fall spices and just like the Cinnamon Ginger Salt Scrub and the Lavender Mint Foot Scrub, every ingredient is natural and beneficial to skin. You’re going to love it!
Ingredients
1/2 c. brown sugar (exfoliant)
1/2 c. old-fashioned oats (anti-itch, soothes skin irritations)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon (draws blood to the skin’s surface)
1/2 tsp. nutmeg (anti-inflammatory)
1/4 tsp. cloves (anti-microbial)
3/4 c. sweet almond oil (moisturizes and smoothes skin)
Directions
Place dry ingredients in blender. Blend until oatmeal is ground.
Add almond oil and mix until dry ingredients are saturated.
๏ปฟ
Pour into a half-pint jar.
Use weekly to exfoliate and refine skin.
Note–Sweet almond oil has a shelf life of 4-6 months when stored in a cool, dark place. People with nut allergies should not use almond oil. Substitute with grapeseed or jojoba instead.

Even though this is meant for a body / foot scrub, it sounds delicious! They'd make terrific little gifts!
