You can mix up extra batched and store them in the refrigerator, if you like, but fresh is always best. This facial smoother recipe has a lot of flexibility built in, so you can find the exact formula that works for you. First, pick your fruit. You can use any of the following: Strawberries, cantaloupe, honey dew melon, watermelon. They all work very well, so try them all. You might find that one particular fruit works the best for you, or perhaps you really enjoy the fragrance of one in particular. Grab a handful or your selected fruit and place it in a food processor. Add an equal amount of a rich dairy produce. You can choose heavy cream, yogurt or buttermilk. Again, you can experiment with the different ingredients to see which ones you prefer. Pulse the fruit and dairy together in the food processor until it is blended well. Add 1 tablespoon of uncooked oats to your mix and pulse once or twice, or just stir it by hand.
