Hey there! Happy New Year!
Popping in with a quick and simple DIY face mask that’s the perfect fix for dry winter skin.
About a month ago, my skin was really suffering from the dry Colorado air. It was dry and tight, and starting to break out. After ignoring it for about a week, I realized that I needed a fix, but I wanted to keep it simple, and with only three ingredients, this recipe fit the bill.
Oat & Honey Face Mask
As you’ll see, precise measurements aren’t necessary for this recipe.
- ground whole oats
- water
- honey
Use a blade coffee grinder to pulverize about 2 Tbsp of oats. If your coffee grinder is dirty from coffee or other spices, you can easily clean it by grinding up a small amount of rice before grinding the oats.
Place the ground oats in a small bowl and add enough water to make a thick paste. Mix thoroughly to break up any oat lumps.
Add some honey, about equal to half of your oat paste. Stir until blended, and then it’s ready to use!
Apply the mask to your face and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Just before it’s starting to get hard around the edges, wipe off and apply your favorite moisturizer or serum. I use our DIY face serum.
Because this is so easy to make, I recommend making a small amount, about enough for one or two applications. Or you can grind a bunch of oats to have on hand for the next time that you want to make more. I don’t recommend mixing a large batch because it may go bad before you use it up.
Wishing you a happy new year and some healthy winter skin! xo
