Homemade Oatmeal Mask for Face

Whether you are a woman or a man or whatever the type of skin that you have, it is important to take care of it by cleaning and tonifying it regularly.

Morning and night, clean your face with an appropriate milk and tonify the skin with the products able to tighten the porous and thus leaving you with a fresh and brightened skin.

Therefore it is also important to treat your face by applying a facial mask. What’s the usefulness of this ?

How can you make your own beauty mask by using only the most natural and easily obtainable components ?

The Frequency of applying a facial mask

If the skin on your face is normal or dry you would do well to have a deep treatment from time to time with the beauty mask (for example, once or twice per month).

If on the other hand, your skin is particularly oily, it is recommended that you apply a natural beauty mask once per week.

General Advice before Applying a Beauty Mask

Before applying a facial mask expose your face to the vapours from hot water for 10 to 15 minutes.

For this, it will be enough to keep the face at about 30 cm from a large container in which you would have already poured boiling water (be careful not to burn yourself).

Cover the head with a towel, thus permitting the vapours to reach towards your face.

The hot steam will cause the pores of the skin to dilate, to get rid of dead skin and of impurities, and to improve blood circulation. Your face is now ready to receive a facial mask!

Homemade Oatmeal Mask to Cleanse for Face -Recipe

How can one make a ‘homemade’ beauty mask which is 100% natural and beneficial ? Nothing could be more simple !

Mix these three things :

• ½ cup of hot infusion prepared with a tablespoon of dry rosemary leaves (for normal skin) of raspberry (for oily skin) or powdered linen seeds (for dry skin).
• 1 teaspoon and a half of roughly crushed powdered oat flakes.
• 1 tablespoons of finely powdered almonds

Mix the three ingredients in order to obtain a relatively thick paste. Gently apply them to all parts of the face except the eyes and the lips.

Leave the facial mask on for between 15 and 30 minutes, letting it dry completely then rinse the face thoroughly with tepid water.

Properties of oats and advantages of the mask

Oats have exfoliating, softening, re-mineralizing and restructuring properties.

The infusion prepared with raspberry leaves has an astringent effect.

On the other hand, the liquid prepared with linen seeds will in itself soften the skin and suits perfectly dry skin.
