DIY: Home Face Mask

       Every girl's dreams came true when as young teenagers, they opened a magazine for the first time and found out that pretty much everything in their fridge could be made into a face mask. But as we get older, we buy grown-up face masks that promise to clear up our face and stop wrinkles from forming at the stores. Little do we realize, we could be causing harm to our face with numerous chemicals and fillers in most products.

      I have recently taken a step back from all the chemical-ladded face masks and turned back to the natural face masks that intrigued me as a young girl. Today I want to share one of my recipes of just a great all around face mask, that is all natural and is made with ingredients that everyone will have! All you need is:

   

•       1 tablespoon honey
•       1/2 tablespoon ground oatmeal*
•       A couple of drops of fresh lemon juice

* If you don't have ground oatmeal, just put regular oatmeal in a food-processor.

    Mix these all together in a bowl and you should get a paste-like mask. Apply the mask to your face and leave it for 20-30 minutes before rinsing it off and that's it! It's a great all-natural mask that kills bacteria and clears up acne (via the lemon), draws impurities out of your skin and exfoliates (via the oatmeal), and gives your skin a beautiful glow and moisturizes (via the honey)! And best of all, your skin will thank you for years to come that you're not smearing harsh chemicals on it!

    I hope you guys enjoy this mask, it's definitely one of my favorites at the moment (I actually have it on my face as I am typing this right now)! :)
