Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Masks


It’s time to pamper your skin! Oatmeal isn’t just that warm, comforting breakfast we eat when we are in a hurry. It can also be used to nourish the skin! It is rich in protein, potassium, iron, phosphates, magnesium, and silicon. Check out the recipe for your skin type!

OILY SKIN

½ cup cooked oatmeal

1 egg white

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

½ cup mashed apple

DRY SKIN

½ cup cooked oatmeal

1 egg yolk

½ banana, mashed

1 tablespoon of honey

NORMAL SKIN

½ cup cooked oatmeal

1 whole egg

1 tablespoon almond oil

Mix all the ingredients together into a smooth paste. Spread on your face and leave on for 15 minutes (you might want to soak in a bubble bath and sip chamomile tea during this process). Rinse your face with tepid water and pat dry.
