Harika Talluri (@rikasays) was convinced she had discovered the “best” cleanser for treating everything from skin texture to hyperpigmentation, and even acne.
And chances are, the item, which is good enough to eat – or put on your face – is already in your kitchen pantry.
Just take a handful of some quick oats and soften them with water.
After pressing everything together with your fingers, a “milky” texture will come out.
You can now start your fresh-faced routine by cleansing your face with this liquid mixture.
For the best clear skin results, she recommended repeating this three times using the same amount of oatmeal.
This will also help to ensure that the oats get super soft, making them even more spreadable – and in the perfect state to be used for exfoliating purposes.
The DIY trick will help to remove any dead skin cells.

Rather than rinsing everything off right away, you can also leave some of the oats on your face to dry for around three to four minutes.
Your skin will have instant rejuvenating results from this “holy grail” skincare cleanser.
Her fans were also swearing by the breakfast food beauty secret.
“Almost two weeks since I’m doing this. Gosh, my skin never felt so good! My hyperpigmentation and acne are gone,” said one follower.
“That makes me so happy to hear wow, sending love! Always find confidence in your natural beauty,” she replied.
“Just tried this and my skin is glowing,” said another viewer.
“Thanks for reminding me how awesome this works. I used to do this years ago and I don’t know why I ever stopped. It really does work amazingly,” a third watcher chimed in.
It turns out that oatmeal does have some scientifically proven ways of improving your skin.
According to Medical News Today, ground oatmeal can work as an exfoliant as it sloughs away dirt, oil, and dead skin cells.
It can also moisturize and reduce inflammation.

Several components that are found within oatmeal are beneficial for the skin.
This includes beta-glucan, a substance that can absorb water, as well as phenols, a type of antioxidant, plus oils and saponins, which can act as a cleanser.
