Cold weather can wreak havoc on your skin. Between the frigid air outside and the recirculated, processed air inside, you’ll be left feeling dry, flaky, and itchy. Try this simple home remedy to heal dry winter skin and banish those flakes for good.
Three simple ingredients are all you will need:
1/2 cup cucumber, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons ground or whole oats
1 teaspoon raw honey
- Peel and chop the cucumber
- Put cucumber, oats, and honey into a blender or food processor and mix to a paste-like consistency. Add more oats to thicken if needed
- Spread the paste in a thick layer over your face and neck, leaving on for 15 minutes (for an extra luxurious touch, place thin cucumber slices over your eyes)
- Rinse with warm water, then apply your favorite moisturizer
There are a lot of benefits to this simple mask. There are no artificial ingredients or chemicals, and cucumbers are naturally soothing to skin. Oats have great hydrating properties, and this mask is gentle enough for even sensitive skin of all ages. You can whip it up in minutes and have fresh, clean feeling skin in no time.
