Oat milk is one of the only plant-based milks that will leave some pulp in the NutraMilk. One of the best ways to utilize the pulp is to make an all-natural face mask. It´s very gentle on the skin and apparently can be good for acne.

Oats: contain anti-inflammatory properties and saponins, a cleansing agent, making oats perfect for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Honey: is a natural humectant. It´s especially recommended for dry and sensitive skin. It has antibacterial and antioxidant properties, honey is perfect for achieving that “glow” while fighting acne and nourishing aging skin. Honey also naturally opens pores.

Lemon: contains antibacterial and anti-fungal properties to fight off acne and blackheads. Lemon juice’s citric acid can help fade dark spots and acne scars. Lemon juice can also help cut down on an abundance of oil.

Tea Tree Essential Oil: Known for its antiseptic properties, tea tree essential oil has been used for everything from treating acne to dandruff.
