Many people prefer using natural ingredients for skin treatments if they can. If you can get the same results from ingredients found in your kitchen after all, why spend money at the spa? Some people make their own to save money, while others are too sensitive to the chemicals commonly used in mass produced products. Some simply would prefer to use natural ingredients. Regardless of your reasons for making your own, look into those using oatmeal, which is great for the skin. The following recipes are good oatmeal facials to try.
Try mixing together a tablespoon of oatmeal powder, the white of one egg, and a few drops of lemon oil. You can find lemon oil at most natural or homeopathic stores or you can check the organic section of your grocery store. Make your own oatmeal powder by grinding some oatmeal that you have on hand. You shouldn’t use the instant kind for this, though. Because this mixture uses egg, be sure to mix the ingredients thoroughly and completely. Then spread the mixture on your face, being careful to avoid your eyes. Allow mask to dry completely, which should take about twenty minutes. After it’s dried, wash off with water and a soft washcloth.
The next recipe consists of a third of a cup of oatmeal and half a cup of hot water.
While you let this sit and thicken prepare the other stuff. Now take a few tablespoons of yogurt, honey and an egg white and mix well to ensure the egg is completely mixed in. Now combine all ingredients. Carefully spread thick mix onto your skin face and neck. Let this mixture dry on your skin. Use a tepid water to rinse clean or shower and rinse.
An oatmeal facial can even benefit those with really oily skin. And this mixture is one of the easiest to make. Add water to natural oatmeal to make a creamy paste. Spread this paste on your face, avoiding the area around your eyes, then let it dry completely. This part can take a while, so try to be patient. Rub it off your face with your fingers once the mask is completely dried. This mixture will help keep your skin from feeling excessively oily and instead more moisturized and clean. After you rinse away leftover oatmeal bits with some water, use a soft, clean towel to pat dry. There are many ways to use oatmeal to help improve the condition of your skin. Oatmeal is highly recommended for homemade facials by many skin care specialists.
