Simple Honey & Rolled Oats Face Mask

This is one of my favorite homemade facials to make because I always have some rolled oats (uncooked) that have already been through the processor in a jar ready to be mixed with the next ingredient.

I decided to use one of my other favorite ingredients along with the rolled oats, and that ingredient is honey.  I have currently run out of manuka honey so I used acacia honey instead.  You can use any type of honey you have, however, each type of honey has its own healing properties and manuka honey is the best kind for your skin and for use in cosmetics.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp honey 

2 cups of rolled oats

Directions:

Blend your rolled oats (uncooked and or the instant oats are fine) in a blender or food processor so that it is a finer texture.  Add the honey* to the mixture and apply to your face using your fingertips.  Make sure your face is initially makeup free.  Leave the mask on for 10 minutes and then rinse off thoroughly with warm water and pat dry.  Remember to always tone and then moisturize your skin.

*Some people experience burning and itching when they apply honey to their face.  If you do, please remove the mask immediately as you may be allergic.

Enjoy!
