Acne Busting Overnight Oats Recipe

You can pack tons of nutrients into overnight oats!

The oats themselves are filled with antibacterial properties that will help to fight the germs that cause acne.

Another tip to make them acne friendly is to use dairy free milk.

The hormones from cows can cause acne (similar to how extra hormones around your period can cause acne).

The great thing about overnight oats is that they are super versatile, as you can add pretty much anything you want to them!

So here are the top acne fighting ingredients to add to your morning oats to give you clear skin.

Every. Single. Day.

This is the superfood in your oats that will banish your acne!

This Raw Manuka Honey is made by bees pollinating manuka flowers found in some of the most remote locations in New Zealand (hence the price).

Brimming with antibacterials:  meaning it will leave less bacteria in your skin to cause those spots.

 A spoonful of this will give your oats that sweet taste it needs, packed full of nutrients!

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are filled with skin benefits –

Packed with Omega 3 which decreases inflammation in the body (music to our acne busting ears!)

Chia Seeds are also the secret ingredient to making your overnight oats lovely and creamy.

These babies soak up to 27 times their weight in liquid!

Add one teaspoon to get a glowing complexion and deliciously creamy oats all in one.

This is purely for taste and texture reasons, and also that little boost of protein!

If you’re vegan or dairy is a big trigger for your skin, use a dairy free yoghurt like Alpro.

But if you’re using dairy free milk, a little spoonful of yoghurt shouldn’t cause too much damage!

My favourite is the Skyr Vanilla Protein yoghurt – I can really notice the difference when I add this in.

Very creamy and thick!

You can pick this up in most supermarkets, I normally grab mine from Tesco!

Goji Berries To Clear Your Skin!
