Yummy Homemade Masque

Colder temps = dry skin = ouch!  I have dry skin anyways, but when winter starts rolling in, I really have to slather on the moisture and take extra care of my delicate skin.  Which is why I rummaged through my pantry and whipped up a moisture saving masque made entirely of ingredients I already had! 

1 cup oatmeal (you can use one pre-packaged regular flavor oatmeal from Quaker Oats, etc)
2 green tea bags
Half lemon
Tbsp or two of honey (add more for consistency)

• Oatmeal is soothing for dry, sensitive skin that may be cracking or peeling.  
• Green tea contains antioxidants which help fight damage caused by free radicals.  
• Lemon is a great antiseptic for breakouts 
• Honey is my favorite with its' hydrating, toning and tightening effects.

In a small blender, blend the oatmeal and green tea into a fine powder.  Add lemon and honey and stir to make up a thick almost chunky consistency masque.  Apply to cleansed face and sit back and relax for 10-15 minutes.  I like to apply a serum under my masque for added benefits.  Remove with warm water or towel.  Apply eye cream and moisturizer and voila!  Beautiful, hydrated and radiant skin from a masque good enough to eat!
