I have been doing a search for the latest research in wrinkle
removers and came across a scientific study into a substance known as
Beta Glucan found in porridge oats. This substance is already known to
have many benefits for maintaining a strong healthy immune system and protecting us from illness as well
as being great for stress. Now it is thought to also be great on the
skin as a wrinkle reducer! Effects noticed after just 8 weeks.
I
shall begin eating porridge and using a home made oat face pack and
will let you know if this really is the cheapest most effective wrinkle
remover on the planet. I have tried a load of other shop bought wrinkle
remedies with NO good effect, so we'll see how this natural cure for
that age old problem of age reduction!
Meanwhile here are the
links to support this post, one is the scientific findings for Beta
Glucan in relation to wrinkle reduction and the other is a link to
other known benefits of beta Glucan.

It certainly wouldn't be worth the beauty industry letting this information become general knowledge given the inexpensive nature of the product - so don't expect any to see any news releases on this any time soon, but I shall keep you posted if I find some.
Here is a recipe for a face mask which includes oats, this will be the one I'll try.
