How to Make a Facial Mask

If you love having a facial and want to try it at home, but you don’t want to waste money on pre-packaged facial masks, why not make your own? It’s very quick and easy to make a mask at home, and you probably have the ingredients on hand. Read on to learn how to make a facial mask.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A food processor
• One avocado
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup of regular oatmeal (uncooked)
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup of honey

1. Peel and cut up one avocado and place into a food processor. Make sure you remove the skin and the large seed in the middle since this will not work well in the processor or the mask itself.

2. Begin by adding 1/3 cup honey to the food processor. Turn on the processor and blend the avocado and honey mixture well. This should take about seven to eight seconds.

3. Turn off the processor and add 1/4 cup of uncooked regular oatmeal. Then pulse the food processor several times in order to mix the oatmeal into the mixture.

4. Remove the lid of the food processor and check the consistency of the mask. At that time you can add the extra honey or oats, if needed, re-cover, and pulse until mixed well.

5. Scrape the facial mixture from the food processing container into a small bowl, and then apply when ready to a cleansed face. Rinse off after 10 to 15 minutes and continue with your regular regimen.

Tips & Warnings

• Use this mask once a week while you are relaxing. Your skin will look wonderful after a month.
• If you are allergic to honey, bees or oats, do not use this mask recipe without the approval from a physician.
