My cousin Kelly and her daughter Grace are in town for a week. This is their first time to Cali. So far, they have been enjoying the sunny weather and super delicious food. The super dry desert weather, however, is doing quite some damage to Kelly's delicate sensitive skin. Her facial skin started peeling, developing rashes, and bright red blotches; she basically looked like she has severe SUNBURN plus bee stung..... not a very pretty sight....
To help her, I whipped up a simple but EFFECTIVE calming mask. It proved to be the best and most natural thing that she's ever applied to her skin, works like a miracle! It got rid of the blotchy discoloration and the sting after just 2 applications(in 1 day) Here's the recipe:
2 Tablespoons of finely Grounded Oatmeal (just grind any store bought oatmeal, preferably organic)
Some Hot Water, just enough to make a paste when added to the oatmeal
6-8 drops of Lavender Essential Oil (available in many health food stores)
Optional: 6-8 drops of chamomile essential oil
To Mix: Add the water to the oatmeal, stir until desired consistency, wait for it to cool, add the essential oils and mix again. Store in the fridge, should be enough for 2 uses.
To use: Use chilled. Apply thin layer to face, leave on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse clean with luke warm water. Voila!!!
Enjoy!
