Oatmeal Mask


The girls each had a friend spend the night. The older girls wanted to put a mask on their faces.


After an exhaustive search at Target and the fact that Tar-jay was out of avocados, we found this mask recipe on "E-to".




Oatmeal Mask


You will need oatmeal, egg whites, lemon juice, baking soda and olive oil. The two most ingredients are the oatmeal and egg whites!




Step 1
Cook some oatmeal or organic rolled oats according to the directions on the package.
The oatmeal has to be un-flavored.




Step 2
Allow the oatmeal to cool slightly after cooking when you create a mask.


Step 3
Fluff up one egg white with a fork in a small bowl. Add the egg white to the oatmeal mask for consistency, folding it into the mixture until it is smooth and easy to spread on your face.


Step 4
Add a few drops of lemon juice when you create your oatmeal mask. Lemon juice is an astringent.




Step 5
Experiment with other types of ingredients when you create an oatmeal mask. Baking soda can soothe itchy skin and olive oil can help reduce the wrinkles caused by dry skin.


Step 6
Smooth the oatmeal mask onto your face. Add more layers of oatmeal to problem areas of your skin, such as your nose and forehead. Be careful around your eyes.




Step 7
Allow the oatmeal mask to dry completely before you remove it. The skin on your face may become slightly itchy as the oatmeal dries completely, which will be your signal to wash up.


Step 8
Rinse the mask off completely with cool to lukewarm water.




Voila!
