Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon finely ground plain oats (colloidal oatmeal if available)
- 1 tablespoon plain, unsweetened yogurt
- ½ teaspoon honey
- 1–2 teaspoons water, if needed to adjust the consistency
Instructions
- Add the ground oats, plain yogurt, and honey to a small clean bowl.
- Mix well until you have a smooth, creamy paste.
- Apply a thin layer to clean skin, avoiding the eyes and lips.
- Leave it on for 5–10 minutes. Do not let it become completely dry and tight.
- Rinse gently with lukewarm water without scrubbing.
- Pat the skin dry and follow with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer.
- Patch-test first on a small area of skin. Stop using it if you experience burning, itching, redness, or irritation.
🌿 Important Note
I wouldn’t recommend putting baking soda directly on the face, especially around the eyes. It can be irritating and may disrupt the skin’s natural barrier. This oatmeal-based version is a gentler alternative for a simple at-home skincare post.
