DIY Beauty

So, I am a big fan of DIY Beauty Recipes! Here are a few of my favorites! Enjoy!

Oatmeal Yogurt Mask (For All Skin Types)
1 tablespoon oatmeal, finely ground
1 tablespoon plain yogurt
a few drops of honey
Add the yogurt to the oatmeal in a small bowl and mix together. Warm a few drop of honey. To do this, warm a spoon under hot water for a minute, then add a few drops of honey to the spoon. Stir the honey into the yogurt and oatmeal mixture. Apply the mask to face. Leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse off with several splashes of warm water.
