I was in the mood for giving some TLC to my face yesterday so I decided to whip up this mask. Plus, I've had the air conditioner on constantly nowadays because of the hot weather and I recently out that air conditioners can dry out your skin. o__o Yikes right? Thus, I decided to make this mask. I like to use yogurt masks because yogurt "contains lactic acid, which can help to exfoliate and smooth out the skin." Yogurt also helps moisturize your skin too. Add oatmeal to the mix, and you'll have a mask that also tightens your pores, relives your dryness, and cleans your pores. If you curious on how to make it, continue reading and scroll down. (^_^)
*Please don't use this mask if you are allergic to any of these ingredients. Also please realize that this isn't a miracle mask. You might have to use it more than once to see results *
First up, we'll be needing plain yogurt and oatmeal. No fruit flavor varieties because I heard those have more sugar in them and might cause your skin to break out. So go grab those two ingredients please. Yes, I will wait while you do....Grab a spoon and a bowl too please while you're at it.
waiting.....waiting....got them? Okie, let's start:
- Please start off with taking a little handful of your oatmeal and pound it into smaller pieces. This is optional, I only do this because I want the oatmeal to stay on my face and not fall off. =____=
- After you're done pounding the oatmeal, pour it into a bowl. Go grab your yogurt now and scoop 2-3 spoonfuls of the yogurt and put it into the bowl.
- Now, go ahead and mix the contents in the bowl. You're almost finished! :3 Wait....you're actually done! Yay! All that's left now is to put a semi thick layer of the mask onto your face and wait 20-30 minute. (I like to keep it on for 30 minute or until it dries.)
Additional but Optional Benefits:
- You can add either a spoonful of honey to the mask too if you have acne because if can help you cleanse your pores. It can also be used to reverse the signs of aging by getting rid of wrinkles. Honey can also be used to moisturize your skin so if you have dry skin, you could try to add this into your concoction. ;) I like to add a same spoonful of honey in my yogurt masks.
- You can also add squeeze some lemon juice into the mixture. The lemon juice can be used to exfoliate your skin and get rid of dead skin cells on your face. Lemon juice can also help you brighten your complexion and even your skin tone. I usually add a squirt of lemon if I find some in the fridge. I don't like to add too much though because it tends to make the mixture runny and watery. >____<
