Why spend a ton of money on other cleansers, toners or moisturizers when you can get the same effects from the items in your kitchen cabinets? It’s true, many local spas are turning to homeopathic ideas for the sole purpose of reinvigorating and cleansing your skin. Why pay for what you can give yourself at home for far less money! Here are some recipes for facials that you can use (we’re betting you have all of the ingredients on hand already).
Next is a fairly easy homemade facial recipe that requires oatmeal. Combine a couple of teaspoons of oatmeal and a teaspoon of baking soda. Add an adequate amount of water to transform the baking soda and oatmeal mixture into a fine paste. Apply the paste on your face while watching out to avoid your eyes and the skin within close proximity to them. Smear the paste tenderly onto your skin and, subsequent to waiting an instant, put some clean warm water to use to wash your face clean. Pat your face dry with a clean and velvety towel.
The next recipe consists of a third of a cup of oatmeal and half a cup of hot water.
Set the oatmeal to the side and give it time to thicken up. Now take a few tablespoons of yogurt, honey and an egg white and mix well to ensure the egg is completely mixed in. Now combine all ingredients. with your hands spread the mixture onto your face avoiding the area around the eyes. Let sit until dry. Now that you’ve allowed that to dry rinse with warm water.
This should keep your skin from feeling excessively oily, while helping it feel clean and moisturized. Rinse away any leftover oatmeal bits with some water and then pat dry thoroughly with a clean and soft towel. There are tons of different oatmeal facial concoctions out there to opt from.
Perhaps you want to experiment with your own recipe this is ok too. You’ll want to be sure and do a patch test before you smear any mix onto your skin and end up with irritation. Don’t go to the expensive spa when you are likely to find a recipe right at home that will do the trick.
I authored this article about DIY Oatmeal Facial because it’s health related and while imagining a career in the dental hygienist arena, I published a summary entitled Medical Assistant Certification you’ll find worth reading.
