Oats play a big part in Sarah's life.  Generally, in buckets proffered to her rescue horses. Now they're about to have a starring role in her beauty regime.

At a recent – and totally fabulous – Pure Lochside facial at Urban Retreat at Harrods, Sarah particularly noted the Organic Orange Skin Refiner, a triple-action exfoliating scrub, which did NOT make her supersensitive skin react at all.  This contains organic Scottish oatmeal – oats have been used for centuries to soothe irritated skin - for gentle but thorough whisking- away of dead skin cells, and, according to the brand founder Fiona Tutte, will refine and hydrate skin as well.

Mix it with Pure Lochside Organic Orange Cleansing Oil to a slurpy consistency for a deep scrub (which Fiona recommends using twice a week), or blend with a little water to a stiffer mix for a weekly rejuvenating mask that'll have you whinnying with pleasure when you see your reflection, afterwards.
