Esthetician Margaret LaPierre submitted this recipe, saying it's a great way to naturally exfoliate the skin. All fruits have varying levels of juice -- some are really juicy and some are not. If you make this recipe according to the instructions and it seems too watery to use, add a bit more oats. If it seems dry, add a bit more water or lemon juice so it more easily spreads across the skin.
