Face exfoliating requires use of very gentle scrub mixture, and the following recipe is just that. Nuts and oats can be milled with the old-school method by using of pestle and mortar but I prefer to use food processor or coffee grinder. The only thing is to remember to grind everything really fine.
Fine milled oats mixed with a little bit of yogurt, make a perfect combination for gentle exfoliation such as the one required to use on the face. Ground seeds and nuts additionally release their natural oils which nourish the skin. Yogurt has toning and skin whitening effects and it helps to close pores.
Enjoy.
