Skin Basics

With a slow economy, a girl's gotta do what she's gotta do to keep the skin beautiful and balmy.  One of the best treatments for those in between dermatologist or esthetician visits would be an at home facial.  You can prepare it right in your kitchen.  I recommend this easy to prepare facial to some of my bridal clients before their big day.  You can apply this mask after using a gentle cleanser appropriate for you skin type.  (note: if you are allergic to any of the ingredients, please do not try.)

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of oatmeal
2 tspns of honey
water
1 egg (oily skin only)

Mix oatmeal, honey and water to create a paste.  If your skin is oily, add the egg.  Once the paste is created, apply to face, avoiding the eye area.  Allow facial to dry (about 10-15 minutes).  Rinse thoroughly with warm water.  Pat skin dry with towel.  Follow with a moisturizer that compliments your skin type.
