DIY Moisturizing Orange Face Mask



Ingredients
1/2 cup instant unflavored oatmeal
juice from 1 whole orange
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons dried orange peel (spice aisle)


Method
1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
2. Stir until well-mixed and combined. Thick, but not too runny. You can always add extra oatmeal to thicken.
3. Spread onto your freshly washed and dried face in an even layer, avoid eye area.
4. Leave on for 15-30 minutes.
5. Rinse this mask off with warm water.

Store any leftover mask in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Or store in freeze for up to a month.

  2. Hi Ariella, Thanks for your compliment :) This face mask moisturizes, for anti-blemish you'll be looking for a scrub. I quite like the St Ives Apricot one. ;)

  3. If I already had a whole lot of Steel Rolled Oat Meal (not the instant kind) could I use that and prepare about a day or so in advanced so that the oat meal will work the same or do you think it will turn out wrong...I got a lot of the Steel Rolled kind for refrigerated oatmeal (over night oatmeal) and was looking for other things do use with it..

  4. Hi Tia,
    Hmm... I'm not sure about that sorry. But personally I would use a food processor to make it smaller, that would work I should think. :)
