Cooling Facial

1/4 cup oatmeal

juice of 1/2 a lemon (freshly squeezed)

1/2 a cucumber (peeled and sliced)

1 tbsp honey

*blend all ingredients together in blender until smooth and apply to face until completely dry, about 30min-1hr, and then gently wash off with warm water*

I use this facial, sometimes daily, but a couple times a week will do the trick.The oatmeal is a gentle exfoliator, lemon juice serves to fade acne scars and keep a balanced ph level of our skins oil, cucumber helps sooth inflammation and cool any reddness, and honey is a great anti-bacterial to help prevent acne breakouts. I try to make a fresh batch each time but when i have a lot of leftovers i seal the extra with plastic and keep it in the refridgerator for the next day. It is a little watery when applied to the face but I just keep a small towel under my chin until it dries enough for me to not be dripping everywhere (usu. like 10 min).

Hope this helps others, it has worked great for my oily skin but what works for me won't work for everybody else. Good Luck!
