There are several ways to get the benefits of oatmeal by using a facial mask, one of which is a mixture of oatmeal and honey:
Ingredients:
- Rolled Oatmeal (1/2 cup): Choose rolled oatmeal for a smoother texture in the mask.
- Pure Honey (1 tablespoon): Honey will provide extra moisture and antibacterial properties.
- Unsweetened Yogurt (2 tablespoons): Yogurt provides a moisturizing and refreshing effect on the skin.
- Ripe Banana (1/2 fruit): Banana helps disguise blemishes and provides additional nutrition.
How to make:
- Grind Oatmeal:
Grind the oatmeal into a fine powder using a blender or coffee grinder.
- Mix All Ingredients:
Mix ground oatmeal, honey, yoghurt and banana in a clean bowl. Stir well until it becomes a thick paste.
- Apply on Face:
Make sure your face is clean. Apply this oatmeal mask evenly, avoiding the area around the eyes.
- Gentle Massage:
With your fingertips, gently massage the mask into your facial skin. A gentle massage will increase blood circulation and help the ingredients penetrate into the skin.
- Leave For 15-20 Minutes:
Let the mask work for 15-20 minutes. While waiting, enjoy your moment of relaxation.
- Rinse with Warm Water:
Once the mask dries, rinse your face with warm water. Use light circular movements to help further exfoliate.
- Dry and Moisturize:
Dry your face by gently patting it with a clean towel. Follow by applying your favorite moisturizer to provide extra moisture.
