Oatmeal Honey Face Mask Recipe
In place of distilled water, you can also use home-made rose water toner (what I am using) or lemon juice. Rose water toner is suitable for all skin types, while lemon juice can help to combat acne and lighten scars.
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp oatmeal (rolled oats/instant oats/plain oats)
- 2 tsp honey
- 3/4 tsp distilled water add 1/4 tsp at a time
Directions:
- Using a coffee grinder, grind the oatmeal to powder.
- In a small bowl, mix ground oatmeal, honey and distilled water, 1/4 tsp at a time, until a thick paste is formed.
- After cleansing, apply face mask onto entire face except eye area for 20-30 minutes. Rinse off the mask by gently massaging in circular motion to loosen. Follow up with your usual beauty routine (such as toner and moisturizer).

I just tried this mask and now my skin feels so soft. Not to mention the soothing affect oatmeal has. I will have to try it again to see if it will help my breakouts!
Hi, is it ok to cook the oatmeal then add the honey will this have the same effect
Thank you
Hi, it’s not necessary to cook the oatmeal.
Hi, what if we don’t have any grinder? I just thought its the reason why she asked if its alright to just cook it..
don’t cook the oatmeal. If you don’t have a grinder, you can use the oatmeal flakes as it is. It will be more difficult to apply but I think it gives additional exfoliation as it’s rougher.
Will it help me get rid of my white heads, blackheads and spots/blemishes?. What’s the benefit of using moisturizer and toner after? My face is really sensitive. It doesn’t like any bar soap, so I’m afraid to use toner and moisturizer because I tried one before and it just worsen my problem :(
Witch Hazel is a excellent natural toner.
everyone has different skin condition so results will vary. you have to experiment and find a regime that works for you.
Hi, I’ve just tried this for the dermatitis (eczema) on my face, and it stopped the itching for a few hours and made it a bit softer! Just wondering, how often do people use this face mask?
Everyone skin type is different. You can do it once a week, or as often as desired (and tolerated).
