Oatmeal Face Mask

This rejuvenating face mask not only helps to fight against acne, but moisturizes your skin too.






What you'll need:

  • 1/4 cup of uncooked oatmeal
  • 2 tbsp of aloe vera; preferably juice, but any form will do
  • 2 tbsp of lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp of honey
  • 1 tbsp of sea salt
  1. Start by adding the dry ingredients into a blender. Blend until you get  fine texture.
  2. Add the aloe vera, lemon juice, and honey and stir together.
  3. Let the mask settle to harden for a few minutes.
  4. Apply the mask to slightly damp skin. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Rinse off the mask with warm water. Pat face dry and apply a moisturizer. 
And that's it! Making it is fun, but what can these super ingredients really do for your skin??

Oatmeal gently provides deep pore cleansing and helps replenish moisture to your face.
Aloe Vera has natural salicylic acid which fights against acne and works to remove dead skin cells.
Lemon Juice evens your skin tone and extracts excess bacteria and oil.
Honey contains many nutrients and helps to fight bacteria. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.
Sea Salt gently exfoliates your skin while providing vitamins that promote skin cell growth.

Now that you know what these food superheroes can do, try it out! Thanks for reading! <3 Jazz
