How can you use oatmeal in a homemade facial?

Oatmeal makes a nice facial, if you can get the lumps out first. If you use it as many beauty advisors say to, you wind up with clumpy, cakey oats clinging to your face like mud with straw mixed in.

Then, you have to wash it off, which really makes a mess in the sink! Here's how to make oatmeal right for facial use.

Put a cup of oatmeal (quick cooking or plain) into a blender or food processor and whir it around until it forms oat flour. Take a tablespoon of the flour, mix it with warm water until it forms a past, and add a drop of vanilla to make it smell fantastic. Apply to your face, let it dry if you have oily skin. Of you have dry skin, only leave the mask on a minute or two and remove it while it's still wet.
