Natural Skin Remedy

We all get problems with our skin and sometimes it's hard to afford all these branded facial cleansers, exfoliators, moisturizers, toners etc. Maybe you didn't realise that the solution to your skin (and money) problems is hidden in your fridge...


Hmmm fridge? Yes that's right!!


I swear by this face mask! All you need is honey, oatmeal and natural yoghurt! This face mask is suitable for all skin types, even for sensitive skin. I have extremely sensitive skin so it's hard to find something that will clear my skin without leaving it dry, sore and itchy. This face mask will cleanse and rejuvenate your skin. It is great if you are prone to breakouts, have acne scars or suffer from dry skin.

Before I tell you how to make it, I'm going to explain what each ingredient does to help your skin. Honey has strong anti-bacterial and anti-flammatory properties which heals and clears acne. Natural yoghurt has been fermented and so it contains lactic acids. These lactic acids clear dirt an impurities by exfoliating. The natural yoghurt will also heal blemishes, moisturize and even out skin tone Oatmeal is an AMAZING (as you will know from my previous post), it gently exfoliates your skin, protects it from free radicals and cleans it to leave it feeling soft. 

Preparation:
 1 tbsp oatmeal, finely ground
 1 tbsp live, natural yogurt (NO flavored stuff!)
 A few drops of honey


Add the yogurt to the oatmeal in a small bowl and mix together. Warm a few drop of honey. To do this, warm a spoon under hot water for a minute, then add a few drops of honey to the spoon. Stir the honey into the yogurt and oatmeal mixture.

THEN....
Apply the mask to the face. Leave it on for 10 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water. 
Don't forget to moisturize afterwards-to lock in moisture!!
