DIY: Honey & Oatmeal Mask for Oily Skin

beesThis is a really simple mask to make and use. Oatmeal is great for oily skins because it'll absorb excess oil, and honey soothes and smooths skin. It contains high proportions of AHA's and it's safe for sensitive skins too. Honey is anti-microbial and it acts as a natural antiseptic as well, it's pretty much a wonder ingredient.

If you like you can also squeeze a capsule of Vitamin B6 into the mix as well, for even greater benefits.

You can be fairly Jamie Oliver-esque with the ingredients and mixing. Throw a handfull or so of oatmeal into a mixing bowl, and add enough honey to make a nice thick paste. If you want to use a vitamin capsule, squeeze it in at this stage too. When you have it looking nice and gooey, slap it on your face for 15 minutes. To wash off, use lots of lukewarm water, and then apply your regular moisturiser.
