C H A P T E R One of the best ways to soak up oil from the skin is to use oatmeal as a mask. Its absorbent qualities quickly reduce excess sebum production, leaving your complexion smooth, bright, and matte looking. Oatmeal is also very moisturizing, so it tricks oily skin into producing less oil. Using an oatmeal face mask will reduce irritation and redness and soothe inflamed, angry looking acne breakouts.

Oatmeal’s use in skin care dates back hundreds of years and can be found in most soothing lotions, soaps, and bath mixtures today. I have been using this oatmeal face mask twice a week and have noticed a big difference in the amount of oil my skin produces. It’s so gentle, you could even use it daily to help reduce redness and calm a particularly aggressive breakout.

SOOTHING OATMEAL FACE MASK: • 3 TB Powdered (ground) oatmeal

• 2-3 tsp strong green tea

• 1 tsp local raw honey

• 2-3 drops tea tree essential oil or essential

oil of your choice that are good for healthy skin like frankincense, rose geranium, lavender, etc. (get high quality essential oils HERE for 24% off)

Grind your Rolled Oats (this is important because you want the oatmeal to be as absorbent as possible!) Mix in the warm tea.

Add in the honey and mash the ingredients until gooey Add your essential oil and stir. Apply to freshly cleansed skin in an even layer. Leave on the oatmeal mask for 20 min. or until dry.

Rinse with warm water (you can exfoliate while rinsing).

Pat dry, and apply your oils or natural moisturizer if desired You can use this mask a few times per week. It tightens pores and reduces oiliness after the first application. If you have any leftover you can use it as an exfoliant.
