RECIPE 1: OATMEAL MASK

Oatmeal is well known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which make it a great natural exfoliator. Dead skin cells will be removed, while your pores are deeply cleaned out.

Almond oil moisturizes and soothes the skin, which is vital for preventing wrinkles.

2 tablespoons oatmeal powder 

1-2 drops vitamin E

1 tablespoon sweet almond oil

½ tablespoon turmeric

Procedure

Mix the turmeric, almond oil and vitamin E in a bowl

Add the oatmeal powder and mix until it becomes paste-like

Rinse your face with warm water so the skin is prepped to absorb the mask

Apply the mask and leave it for about 20 minutes

Rinse your face with warm water
