Oats are nature’s perfect nourishment and the ideal choice for a homemade skin mask.

Oats are a multi-tasking powerhouse when it comes to skin. Their high lipid (or fat) content nourishes, protects, and moisturizes. They are also highly absorbent, helping to clear dirt and oil from pores. Plus, their antibiotic properties help to soothe irritated or red complexions. Combine the ingredients of this make-at-home moisturizing mask, then gift it in a lovely Mason jar as a way of saying “thanks.”
