Homemade Facial

Lately, I've been stressing out about so many things, that its been causing me to break out. Then I get stressed about breaking out and the cycle starts all over again. I was talking to my friend, Adrienne, about my predicament, last week, when she told me about a DIY honey and oatmeal mask that works wonders with all types of skin! So I had her give me the run-through on making it and I couldn't believe I had a mini spa treatment right in my pantry.

Ingredients
1/4 regular oatmeal
1/4 lukewarm water
2 teaspoons of honey

Step 1: Grind the oatmeal in a blender. This prevents the mask from being too clumpy and allows for an easier application.

Step 2: Add 1/4 cup of water to the blended oatmeal in a small bowl or container.  Make sure the oatmeal is gooey enough to stay on your skin. {In case its not thick enough, add more oatmeal}.  

Step 3: Stir in 2 teaspoons of honey.  {Honey is an amazing treatment for skin that is prone to breakout and acne because it removes any bacteria that lingers on your skin}.

Step 4: Apply to your face and allow to set for about 10-15 minutes. 
* If there is any mask leftover, use it on the rest of your body in the shower as a body wash.

If any of you lovely followers have any simple DIY secrets, please share them down below. I'd love to try them out and share them with everyone! :)
