How to turn Quinoa into an effective Home Made Face Scrub

After jumbling up with all the chemical based cosmetics, fashionistas are now taking their way towards natural products. The beauty world has been inspired by food industry and taking the natural products by storm including our great healthy food quinoa. Recent research proves that the proteins from this edible grain create an obstacle to revitalize hair and skin & some even believe that its magnesium and vitamin B2 helps increase skin’s elasticity and create new skin cells when applied topically. I personally love using quinoa as a face exfoliator. Let me show you this easy quinoa home made scrub with the help of ingredients you may already have on your kitchen shelves.

Ingredients
1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
1 cup water
1/4 cup yogurt
1 tsp honey

How to make:-
1. Take 1/2 cup of quinoa and strain. Rinse properly with cool water. Rub and mash the quinoa softly with your hand while rinsing & drain.

2. Put the Quinoa and 1 cup of water into a small saucepan. Let it boil.

3. Turn heat down to the lowest setting, cover it and cook it for 15 minutes.

4. Remove the pan from heat and cover it for 5 minutes. Uncover and let it cool down.

5. Mix the cooled cooked quinoa with yogurt and honey.

6. This mixture can be used as an exfoliating scrub on face and body. Rinse yourself with warm water.

Note: This home made face scrub may be stored in an airtight container for approx two days & I bet you, it will be your best home made exfoliator you have ever used.

Stay fresh, Stay beautiful!
