Hydrating and Healing: The Oatmeal Mask

I've promised a recipe for a homemade version of our Oatmeal and Honey facial mask.
This mask is great for simple hydration and healing of dry, slightly irritated skin.
So for our very first blog...here it is:

1-2 cups Rolled Oats (Quaker or similar)
1 jar Honey
boiling water

Place the oats in a dry blender and pulse the oats until the consistency of flour.
Store the oat flour in an air-tight, Tupperware-type container.


When you're ready to make your mask, place 1 Tablespoon oats in a dessert or other small cup.
Add 1 teaspoon pure honey and approximately 1 teaspoon of boiling hot water.
Stir until the consistence of a thin paste then microwave for 20 seconds until smooth and hot.

Allow the oatmeal-honey mask to cool slightly; the mask should be applied while very-warm; be mindful not to burn the skin as the mask may be very hot from the microwave.

With a fan-brush or your fingers, apply the very warm mask to freshly washed skin and allow to set for 5+ minutes, then removed with and a wet, warm cloth. Follow this with your favorite moisturizer.
