August 21st, 2006

2 teaspoon quick cooking oats

1/4 teaspoon almond powder

1/4 teaspoon gated orange peel

1/4 teaspoon lavender-flower powder

2 tablespoon yogurt

Mix all the ingredients together and apply the mixture to your face. Let the mask set on your skin and then using very light pressure flake the mask off. If your skin feels too sticky use warm water to rinse. Dab your face with a soft towel and apply a good moisturizer.

Instant oatmeal is an excellent skin exfoliant. Oats replenish the skin with Vitamin A and E and counteract the daily sun damage. The orange peels help to balance the pH level of your skin too, it makes the skin soft and helps you look younger. Almond powder is rich in protein. Similarly, yogurt pacifies the aggravated pitta in turn making your skin look healthier, livelier and younger. Lavender is used for its healing aroma! It has a great effect on your skin.
