Oatmeal Face

This may sound like an awesome Oatmeal cookie recipe but it's not, it's an awesome natural mask that will make you face feel like a baby's a**. After reading many other recipes, this is what I conjured up however I'm not sure the measurements are entirely perfected yet, but the ingredients are. You may want to cut this in half, it makes a lot.


1 cup of Oatmeal (Rolled Oats)
1 cup of hot water (do not boil)
1 tablespoon olive oil or almond oil
4 tablespoons of honey
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
Some granulated sugar or dark brown sugar (for later)

Grind up the oatmeal, slowly add in water until it makes a thick paste. You may need more (or less) water than a cup. You can either grind the oatmeal in a coffee grinder and then add in the water slowly, or do it all at the same time in a blender (however the coffee grinder will make the oatmeal more fine which is a good thing I think). Add the oatmeal paste and everything else into a closed container (I used an old spaghetti jar), put a lid on it, and shake it all up. You can store this for about a week in the fridge, however know that egg whites are only edible for 2-3 days so you won't want to do any tasting towards the end of the week. After it has cooled, apply it to your face and leave it on until it's entirely dry; about 15 minutes. Your face may feel like it's going to break, this is because the egg whites are doing their job. Sugar is a great exfoliater, however I suggest you add a teaspoon in your hand when you are ready to apply the mask, otherwise if you put the sugar in with the rest of the ingredients it will lose it's graininess and be useless. Rinse with warm water first, then rinse cold water to close your pores, then pat dry. As soon as your face is dry it will feel super soft, hope you love it!
