Y'all all know that I LOVE a good Clay Mask but...sometimes you just don't have one or you just don't feel like ordering one or maybe you're not like me with a stash of various clays around your home. That being said, I wanted to put together some easy DIY Face Mask recipes that YOU can make at home TODAY.
A DIY Face Mask is a great way to give your skin some extra TLC right at home. They're easy to make and can be customized to target your specific skincare needs. Lets dig right in to these DIY Face Masks using items commonly found at home and help reduce some of our produce waste (I'm looking at you, overly ripened avocados)!
Honey Oat DIY Face Mask
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup of cooked, cooled oatmeal
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
Instructions:
In a small bowl, mix together the oatmeal, honey, and lemon juice until well combined. Wet your face slightly with water. Apply the mask to your face, avoiding the eye area. Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes, or until it's dry. Rinse off the mask with lukewarm water and pat your face dry. Follow up with your favorite moisturizer.
This DIY Face Mask is great for calming redness and nourishing the skin. The oatmeal helps to soothe irritation, the honey is a natural humectant and anti-bacterial that helps to keep the skin hydrated and clean, and the lemon juice is rich in vitamin C, which can help to brighten the skin.
