Walnut shells aren't the easiest to grind however, so unless you have an industrial grade grinder, you may want to avoid that. However, you can certainly make a scrub at home using any of the above mentioned ingredients. In combating oily skin, I would try a salt based scrub first as the salt will help draw the oil out. You could look for a scrub (or add to your homemade scrub) that has peppermint, lavender, lemon, sandalwood, or grapefruit essential oils which are all beneficial for oily skin.

If so would I just grind up walnut shells (for example) or is there something else I should mix with it? Or are these ingredients I can find on the labels of stuff in stores? I have EXTRA oily skin and am prone to breakouts. I've been slacking on my skincare regimen in general (and no I haven't tried the other stuff you recommended yet) but wondering what I need to add as far as a scrub? I have used the St Ive's Apricot Scrub in the past because it says it is for blemish prone skin but honestly I've never read the ingredients.
