** Today's homemade beauty treatment ** - Oatmeal exfoliant

Oatmeal has many amazing properties, including being an exfoliant, astringent is anti-inflammatory. 

To get started, grab yourself some Oatmeal, or rolled oats (depending on where you're from!) and stand over a sink. Grab a handful of Oatmeal and close your fist. Hold your closed fist under the tap, letting a little water in so the oatmeal become slightly damp. Then squeeze it, it should release a milky water. Then with the other hand grab tiny amounts and begin rubbing it on your face until your whole face is covered in Oatmeal. If it won't easily spread then add more water. Then, as you would with any exfoliant, gently massage your face in circles, moving the oatmeal around. This is exfoliating your face. After your done, simply wash off the oatmeal with water. Make sure your stood over the sink at all times whilst completing this process, as it can be very messy.

If you fancy a face pack, try mixing oatmeal with manuka or normal honey and applying to the face.
