Oatmeal is a very good alternative for a facial cleanser or mask. It is natural and very affordable. I watched Bubzbeauty's video of Oatmeal Facial Scrub but since it was too messy I decided to do a facial mask instead. My DIY was quite similar to hers but I added some steps which I learned from other gurus. I discovered that to maximize the results of any facial mask, one needs to open up the pores first. I really want to buy Watsons' Facial Steamer but since I don't have it now, there is an alternative procedure for the same result. Other people put their face near a boiling/hot water which has a steamer effect. But I want an easier way to do that. I don't want my brothers to see me steaming my face in the kitchen anyway.
Well, Let's start.
First, you will need a small bowl where you can put the lukewarm water.
Second, damp the towel to the lukewarm water. Test it first using the back of your hand before putting the towel on you face. This will help open up the pores and make it easier to remove the dirt. Gently pat the towel on your face for about 5 minutes.

Tasted good when I accidentally put some oatmeal on my lips. haha |
Third, get a handful of oatmeal. I suggest you get the original flavor. I was planning to eat this but decided to use this for the tutorial instead. Now, using the lukewarm water on the bowl, add a little water on the oatmeal and gently squeeze your hand. Just add enough water to make an oatmeal "paste".

Fourth, apply the oatmeal "paste" generously on your face and leave it for 10-15 minutes.

Let it dry! |
Finally, rinse you face and gently remove the mask. Follow it with your favorite moisturizer to lock in the moisture on your face.
