You have probably read about oatmeal skin masks and seen many different recipes on how to make them at home. But do they really work? Can you get smooth and beautiful skin just by using an oatmeal skin mask?
Well, the effectiveness of a homemade face mask for your skin depends on how your complexion is today. You shouldn’t expect any miracle to happen, but you shouldn’t discount the possibility of profit either.
Oatmeal has been shown to purify and soften the skin, so yes, oatmeal skin masks can work. The important thing is, of course, what other ingredient you are mixing it with. One of the best oatmeal mask recipes is to mix together raw egg and oatmeal, and possibly cold-pressed olive oil. This type of mask will hydrate your skin and make it soft.
If your skin is oily, you can mix in some lemon juice, which dries naturally and makes the pores smaller.
But you can only go so far with a homemade face mask. Yes, they are beneficial to use from time to time, but they won’t have much of an effect on wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, or other major skin problems.
For the most effective enhancement, you should look for natural skin care products with active ingredients that are proven. Only when the ingredients are tested in clinical trials on human volunteers are they known to really work.
To find truly effective natural skin care, you need to look up the company behind the products to see if they are trustworthy. This may sound unnecessary, but you wouldn’t believe how many lame skincare companies out there who just want to make big profits. When you’ve found an honest company that delivers on its promises, it’s worth the time you spent on a quick search.
