WHY WE LOVE THEM
All of the ingredients in this face mask have amazing skin benefits! Greek yogurt—moisturizer/skin brightener Greek yogurt works well with dry, sensitive skin and is perfect for scrubbing away dead skin cells. It also fights against acne. Oats—revitalizer The oats act as a revitalizing agent that, like Greek yogurt, treats acne. Although the oats themselves don’t lubricate the skin, when paired with a moisturizer, they help your skin retain moisture and give it pretty, glowing shine. Brown Sugar—exfoliant You’ve probably seen sugar scrubs at every spa and beauty supply store you’ve been to, and for good reason. Sugar is the best scrub for your face, and when applied to the skin, it reacts with the upper layer of the epidermis, exposing live skin cells and allowing your skin to become even more moisturized. Honey—healing agent Not only does honey taste great, but it helps you get glowing skin for the summer. It has natural healing properties, and like oats, it helps the skin retain moisture, allowing your skin to feel suppler. Because honey absorbs impurities from pores on the skin, it can also be used as a part of an acne regimen. Coconut oil—moisturizer Coconut oil works as a moisturizer, and when combined with an exfoliating agent like the brown sugar, it scrapes off excess dead skin and cleans out blocked pores.TIME TO TREAT YOURSELF!
The great thing about this recipe is that it’s super quick. All you need is a food processor (or a blender), which means easy cleanup too! 1] Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until the mixture is smooth/creamy. 2] Spoon into a mason jar. The mixture can be stored in the fridge for as long as the date on the Greek yogurt is good! 3] Using your hands (get ready to get messy!), begin spreading the mixture across your face. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes. 4] Using warm water on a washcloth, begin scrubbing the mixture off your face, moving your hands in a circular motion to wipe the mixture off. 5] Hello, beautiful skin!
