DIY – Oatmeal and Honey Face Mask

BENEFITS

Oatmeal has healing, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which means it helps to regenerate and moisturize the skin to keep it young. It soothes irritation and leaves your skin healthier and soft.

Honey is an antibacterial agent, it prevents infection. It also acts as a humectant to keep moisture inside the skin which is going to make your skin glow! Just like oatmeal, it has healing and antioxidant properties to protect your skin.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon of oatmeal
• 1 teaspoon of raw honey (if possible organic, local)
• 1/2 tablespoon of boiled water

Blend your oatmeal to make it smoother (if needed). Mix your boiled water and oatmeal until it forms a thick paste. Add a teaspoon of raw honey. Mix everything together. Once cooled down, apply the mixture on your skin. Leave it for 10/15 minutes and rinse with clean water.

Honey-Avocado Face Mask

For this homemade face mask, a dreamy mix of hydrating avocado, skin-cleansing honey and toning apple cider vinegar delivers perfect pH balance for all skin types.

Is Avocado Good for Your Skin?

We know that avocados are delicious and have many health benefits.  Avocados also make a great DIY face mask, helping to hydrate and moisturize skin. In addition to the avocado, honey and apple cider vinegar help cleanse and tone the skin. While the face mask is completely edible, we don’t recommend actually eating it.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup ripe avocado
• 2 tablespoons raw honey
• ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

1. Combine avocado, honey and vinegar in a mini food processor; process until smooth. (Alternatively, place in a small bowl; mash with a fork until smooth.)
2. Apply a thin layer to clean, damp skin. Let dry, then rinse off and moisturize as desired. Oily skin types may not need additional moisturizer. This makes enough for 2-3 applications and should be used immediately.
