I received this lovely tip on Facebook, from my Aunt Sexy* and decided to share it with the rest of the class.

Homemade Oatmeal Mask for Acne

“I suffer from Adult acne – so I did some research and came up with this mask”.

- Boil about 1/4 cup of oatmeal (organic can be used) in water

- Add in about 2 tablespoon of lemon juice and 2 tablespoon of aloe vera gel.

- Let cool to room temp.

- Apply to clean skin let mask dry on face

- Next wash with lukewarm water.

Skin should be soft and smooth  and pores noticeably smaller. Hope this can help someone.

*You guessed it, she’s Sexy’s Aunt.

I don’t have acne, but I’m gonna try this one! Here’s some handy info:

  • Lemon juice: lightens spots
  • Aloe vera: healing of inflamation
  • Oatmeal: Soothe soreness plus exfoliate dead cells

Thanks Auntie!

  • Do you make your own oatmeal mask? What do you use?
