How long to do keep the oatmeal mask on your face?
Sierra,
Hi there! Based off of my personal use of oatmeal masks, I would say between 10 - 15 minutes. Exercise caution when applying the mask around your eyes to avoid irritation. Also, do not use oatmeal face masks if you are allergic to oats.
Thanks, MNN staff
My boyfriend and I want to try the strawberry and honey mask but were worried it will stain your face red!! Has anyone tried it?
it won't, just make sure it doesn't get on your clothes or it will stain.
My fav breakfast is oatmeal . i want to try facial mask with oatmeal .
i love this post
oats are really well..try it asap it really helps.
Wow! My favorite foods, actually. :) And good for you, too!
i will get tempted to eat whatever is is the kitchen
There is a place near where I live that sells homemade masks, bath bombs, and face stuff etc. Anyway is is brilliant, it sells an oat mask that is to die for. My skin is AMAZING at the moment. But it costs a lot... gonna try these out, thanks for the ideas (:

Bragg's organic apple cider vinegar can also work wonders for your skin. It's rich in alpha-hydroxy acids which will exfoliate your skin and make it super soft. I've found it to be a great remedy for perioral dermatitis. It can also be used for acne, age spots, rosacea, etc. I use it as a toner by mixing it with equal amounts of water. At first it feels a bit tingly and it can sting a little sometimes, but after a minute or two my skin appears more balanced. Warning: it smells pretty bad........ More
I like to couple an oatmeal mask with cucumbers or cold tea bags - refreshing! It really works.
