Homemade Face Mask No. 4: Calming Oatmeal Mask
Try it: As a skin-soothing homemade face mask for when your skin is having an angry day
Why it works: Colloidal oatmeal reigns supreme at beating back inflammation; it's often an ingredient in eczema relief products. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, dry, itchy skin has a high pH level, which oatmeal can help stabilize.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup hot water
1/3 cup oatmeal
2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoon honey
1 small egg white
Directions: Mix oatmeal and hot water together, then let sit for two minutes. Mix in the rest of the ingredients, combining well. Apply a thin layer to face. Wash off after 15 minutes.
