Natural skincare is a passion of mine! I like knowing the ingredients going on my face and being able to use things that God created to soothe skin irritations, reduce acne, and make my skin feel softer and look brighter.
These at home face masks are perfect for slumber parties, bonding with your tween or teen, or just enjoying 10 minutes of self-care once a week.
Oatmeal Honey Face Mask:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of quick oats
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt
Instructions:
- Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix together the oatmeal, honey, and yogurt until you have a thick paste.
- Optional Additions: You can customize your mask by adding other ingredients like mashed avocado for extra hydration, a squeeze of lemon juice for brightening, or a few drops of essential oils like lavender or tea tree for added benefits.
- Apply the Mask: Using clean fingers or a brush, apply the mask to your face, avoiding the delicate eye area.
- Relax: Once the mask is applied, relax and let it sit on your face for 10 minutes. This gives the ingredients time to work their magic.
