How to Make DIY Oatmeal Cleanser for Sensitive Skin

Grind plain oats into flour, mix with water to form a paste, and gently massage onto damp skin for a soothing, non-stripping cleanse.

1. Grind the oats. Use a clean coffee grinder or food processor to turn plain rolled oats into fine flour. Stop before it becomes paste — you want powder, not butter.
2. Make your paste. Mix 2 tablespoons oat flour with enough lukewarm water to form a spreadable paste. Start with a teaspoon of water and add gradually until it holds together.
3. Apply gently. Massage the paste onto damp skin using light circular motions for 30 seconds. The texture should feel soft, not scratchy — add more water if needed.
4. Rinse thoroughly. Remove with lukewarm water, using gentle downward strokes. Pat dry with a clean towel and follow with your usual moisturizer immediately.
