As Fall weather kicks in, our skin looses radiance and moisture. Oatmeal is a natural soother, contains moisturizing properties and is known to give skin a supple appearance while healing dry skin.
Here is the basic recipe for a great oatmeal mask and two spin off oatmeal masks that are hand catered to specific skin types and concerns.
Basic Oatmeal Mask.
You will need..
3/4 cup Dry Oatmeal (If you have a food processor, grind the oatmeal. If not, it is not necessary.)
1/3 cup Warm Water
Mix the ingredients into a paste. Apply on slightly damp skin, leaving on until the mask dries. Remove with warm water.
Agave Nectar, Lemon & Oatmeal Exfoliating Mask - Normal to Combination Skin.
You will need..
3 tbsp. Agave Nectar
2 tbsp. Oatmeal (If you have a food processor, grind the oatmeal. If not, it is not necessary.)
1 tbsp. Lemon Juice
The agave nectar is a natural humectant, drawing moisture to the skin while the lemon juice is a natural exfoliant.
Mix the ingredients into a paste. Apply on slightly damp skin, leaving on for 30 minutes. Remove with warm water.
Strawberry, Apple, Agave Nectar & Oatmeal Clarifying Mask.
You will need..
1/4 cup Oatmeal
1/2 Apple
1/2 cup Strawberries
2 tbsp. Agave Nectar
Apple contains Malic Acid, a natural exfoliator that is gentle and ideal for breakout prone skin. Strawberries contain Salicylic Acid, a natural pore detoxifier and skin clearing ingredient.
Blend together in food processor or blender. Mix the ingredients into a paste. Apply on slightly damp skin, leaving on for 30 minutes. Remove with warm water.
