Natural Oatmeal Facial Masks and Scrubs

Masks and Scrubs can make your face feel wonderful.  The masks can draw out impurities and the scrubs can clean off that dead skin…which means using both can make your skin beautiful…The easiest and inexpensive way to get a great mask and scrub is to use Oatmeal.

Using an oatmeal scrub will help remove blackheads and other impurities…Another great thing about oatmeal is that you don’t have to use it only on your face…this scrub can be used on your entire body.

1/4 cup old fashioned oats

1 teaspoon honey

Cook oatmeal per container instructions, stir in honey and allow to cool to lukewarm.  Using your hands/fingers rub the oatmeal mixture all over your face and neck (avoid your eye area) in a circular motion.  Allow the oatmeal mixture to dry and rinse with cool water.

Another easy oatmeal scrub uses:

2 Tablespoons oatmeal

1 teaspoon baking soda

Small amount of water

Put oatmeal in blender/food processor and grind until grainy.  Mix with baking soda in a small bowl.  Add enough water to make a paste consistency.  Spread paste on your clean face and let sit for about 10 minutes, remove with cool water.

The oatmeal mask is just as easy and it will not only help get rid of impurities but it will also make your face smooth and shrink your pores.

1 Tablespoon oatmeal (uncooked)

1 egg white

Mix oatmeal and egg white together and apply to your face.  Let dry then rinse with cool water.

Extra uses:

Oatmeal can also be sprinkled into your bath water to help soothe dry skin. (this same tip can be used for your pets if they have dry skin)

Put oatmeal in the toe/foot of a nylon stocking…soak in water and then squeeze the oatmeal on your wet hair to help soothe dry scalp.  Wait a minute or two and then wash your hair as normal..
