Amazing Facial

OK, so I just rinsed this off my face and I have to say, it's amazing!

After looking at several other facial recipes on here, I began to notice a pattern of the things people are putting on their face. I did some research then went into my kitchen and literally threw everything into a bowl that required minimal effort (I was too lazy to cut an avocado or kiwi or anything else of that nature). So because of the spontaneousness of this situation, I didn't really measure anything out. However I can estimate for you guys:

  • 1 part baking soda
  • 3 parts honey
  • 2 parts lemon juice (I used the bottled kind)
  • 4 parts powdered milk (You can use regular milk and just add less water.)
  • 4 parts water
  • 7 parts oatmeal
  • 4 parts flour

Now keep in mind, 1 part is like a dash of something. OK, so here are the reasons why I put each thing in: baking soda exfoliates and heals blemishes; lemon juice is a natural astringent, it loosens the surface skin cells so that they fall off revealing new, fresh skin; milk is for hydrating; oatmeal cleanses, relieves redness, irritation, and dryness, absorbs and removes dirt, is high in antioxidants, and is a gentle exfoliator; and finally flour contains vitamin E and removes dead skin cells.

So all you have to do is mix all the ingredients together (it should be a relatively thick paste with blotches of oatmeal) and apply it on your face with a clean foundation brush or even you fingers.

I completely covered my face and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Afterward, splash a little water onto your face to moisten it up a bit more (by now your skin should be feeling very tight). Then massage the oatmeal into your skin to gently exfoliate. Let sit for about 5 minutes. Then completely rinse off.

Your skin should feel soft and refreshed!

Bottled lemon juice containe sulfites so if you are allergic to them do not use this product. Also this seems like something for oily skin.

If you have dry skin I wouldn't use it. Just because it is safe for one does not mean it is safe for all.

The astringent acidity of lemon juice is cancelled out by the baking soda pH. Oatmeal is drying, but there is presumably fatty whole milk for moisturizing. I think there are several different facials here for each day of the week to achieve different aims, such as exfoliating, moisturizing, sopping up oil.
