Homemade Face Mask Recipe

This facial mask recipe soothes, heals and moisturizes problem & sensitive skin

It contains ingredients that are gentle but powerful healers, drawing impurities out of the skin, attracting moisture, softening, breaking up and lifting away dry, dead skin cells.

Oatmeal and aloe vera calm redness and irritation while feeding your skin with healing proteins, amino acids, minerals, vitamins and enzymes.

Chamomile, helichrysum and patchouli essential oils fight inflammation, kill problem-causing bacteria, and promote cell renewal so your skin heals faster.

Homemade Face Mask Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/2 tablespoon Kaolin Clay (how to choose clay)
• 1/2 tablespoon Rolled Oats
• 1/2 teaspoon Avocado OR Evening Primrose oil
• 1/2 teaspoon Aloe Vera juice
• 1/2 teaspoon Honey
• 1/2 teaspoon Yogurt or Milk
• One of the essential oil blends below

1 drop Chamomile OR Helichrysum essential oil

1 drop Jasmine OR Rose essential oil

1 drop Patchouli OR Sandalwood essential oil

Directions

1. Grind the oats to a very fine powder in a clean coffee grinder.
2. Whisk together the oil, aloe vera and honey in a small bowl until completely combined.
3. Slowly add the clay and oat powder a little at a time, stirring thoroughly to create a spreadable paste. (If you add it all at once you get lumps.)

   If the mixture seems too thick, add a little more yogurt or milk. Do not increase the oil, because the mask will slide right off your face.

4. Stir in the essential oils.
5. Cleanse your face and leave it damp, then smooth the homemade face mask over your face and neck, avoiding your eyes and mouth.
6. Leave it on your face for 15 to 20 minutes (Relax! Lying down is good.)
7. Wash the homemade facial mask off using a warm, wet washcloth.
8. Follow with toner and moisturizer.

Customizing Your Homemade Facial Mask Recipe

Replace the yogurt with chamomile or green tea if you have lactose intolerance or dairy issues.

Replace the Avocado or Evening Primrose oil with other aromatherapy carrier oils best for your skin's unique needs. Check out Sweet Almond, Kukui Nut, Rosehip and Sea Buckthorn oil.

If your skin is ultra sensitive, leave out the essential oils and the aloe vera - even without them, this homemade face mask recipe will soothe, feed and hydrate your skin.
