These products are renowned for their purity, versatility and effectiveness. Depending on the type of medium used and auxiliary components, you can count on intensive skin cleansing, tissue rejuvenation, relief smoothing or elimination of inflammatory processes.

Even if you simply hold the flakes in warm water and apply the resulting mass to the skin, you can count on a noticeable transformation of your face. The oatmeal mask does not cause addiction or side effects. It can be used in courses or systematically, the result will be quick, pronounced and lasting.

Properties of oat masks due to the composition of the main component

It is difficult to list all the actions performed by oatmeal masks applied to the skin of the face. Such a wide range of influence of the products is ensured by the rich composition of the main component:

• Microelements. Magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, iodine, chromium and other components are responsible for normalizing metabolic processes and improving the functioning of the sebaceous glands. It is thanks to them that after using a mask of oatmeal, the disappearance of skin itching, a feeling of tightness or bloating, and inflammation disappear.
• Vitamins. Retinol, thiamine and ascorbic acid guarantee restoration of water balance, saturation of cells with moisture, acceleration of regenerative processes, rapid removal of waste, toxins and metabolic products from tissues.
• Water. The flakes consist of 10% of it, which is quite enough to improve the texture of dehydrated and overdried epidermis.
• Amino acids. An indispensable component for the skin ensures its transformation, the return of freshness and youth.

Don't forget about the physical features of the product. Crushed or swollen with moisture, oatmeal thoroughly cleanses the surface of the face, toning and massaging the tissues. Any oatmeal mask also has the properties of a soft scrub. This combination of components and features allows you to count on the following results from the use of natural compounds:

• The skin receives the necessary nutrition, hydration, and is filled with chemical components necessary for normal metabolism.
• Dead cells are gently removed without interfering with metabolic and regenerative processes.
• As a result of superficial massage, tissue tone increases, vascular walls are strengthened, complexion improves, swelling, infiltrates and other stagnation disappear.
• Pores are cleaned, sebaceous plugs are eliminated, and sebum production is normalized.
• Regularly used oatmeal masks reduce skin sensitivity and tissue reactivity, and eliminate inflammation.

A distinctive feature of these products is that all preparations based on flakes or oatmeal ensure the performance of the listed actions. Depending on the presence of additional components, the profile of the base composition is manifested.

Indications and contraindications for manipulation

An indication for the use of an oatmeal mask can be not only the expressed problem, but also the features characteristic of a certain skin type. Systematic procedures will give a pronounced result depending on the initial condition of the facial skin.

• Dry skin. It will receive intense hydration and increase the ability of tissues to retain water molecules. Foci of peeling and a feeling of tightness, persistent itching and dry acne due to tissue infection will disappear.
• Sensitive skin. The reactivity of the epidermis in response to unfavorable conditions or the use of decorative cosmetics will decrease.
• Oily and dense skin. It will become softer, cleaner, the unhealthy shine will disappear, and a pleasant matte appearance will appear. Due to the saturation of tissues with microelements, the process of sebum production is gradually normalized.
• Normal skin. She will receive adequate nutrition, which will allow her to preserve her youth and beauty for many years.
• Epidermis of a problematic type. A properly prepared oatmeal mask for acne can relieve age-related or allergic acne, eliminate the associated discomfort, and prevent the appearance of small scars on the surface of the skin.
• Combination skin. The texture of the epidermis will be slightly smoothed, which will simplify facial care and improve its appearance.
• Epidermis with signs of wilting. It will become more elastic and firm, and emerging wrinkles will be smoothed out. The slightly blurred oval of the face will be corrected.

2. It is best to wash off the product with warm milk (for dry and normal skin) or chilled chamomile infusion (for oily and problematic epidermis).
3. If there are mature pustules or inflamed acne on the surface of the skin, it is better to delay using the mask.
4. Do not apply an oatmeal mask to the area around the eyes and mouth; the effect will be too harsh.

Are there any contraindications

Oatmeal masks can only be contraindicated for people with individual intolerance to this culture. But such cases almost never occur. Allergies can be caused by a separate product included in the mask.

Basic application rules

Visiting a beauty salon does not require active action on your part. You come to a specialist, sit comfortably on the couch and surrender to the power of his skillful hands. Don’t worry about the order in which to do what, how long the procedure should take, or what the nutritional mixture consists of.

If you decide to set up a home salon at home, you need to follow a certain sequence of actions. To enhance the effectiveness of a miraculous home remedy, follow a number of simple rules:

2. Before using the homemade preparation, steam your face using a water bath of medicinal herbs. You can soak a towel in warm broth, then apply it to your face. You can use a decoction of lemon balm, chamomile, mint. You cannot use a decoction of oak bark - it closes and narrows the pores, and this is not necessary now.
3. If you have problems with vascular network or high blood pressure, do without a hot compress.
4. Apply the prepared mass along the massage lines. Be careful around the eye area. There is no need to apply anything to your eyelids.
5. Dry skin requires additional nutrition. A series of procedures can be done. And it’s better to do the nutritious ones first, as well as the deep ones. You can use a small amount of nourishing cream.

Do not use too hot water to wash your face at the end of the procedure, and do not rub your face too hard with a towel.

Oatmeal face masks - recipes

You can always find the necessary natural products at home. They make very useful cosmetic products. Sometimes you can add what is “at hand”. For example, combine oatmeal with grated vegetables, fruits, kefir or sour cream. This composition smoothes the skin and deeply nourishes it.

Maybe you like to experiment and prefer to prepare an exclusive composition in advance. Please note that to prepare an “exotic” mixture, all ingredients must be fresh. It is better to use them immediately rather than keep them in the refrigerator for several days. Such products include bananas, strawberries, dairy products, exotic fruits from distant and hot countries.

To prepare “homemade” mixtures, vitamins that are purchased at the pharmacy are often used. Before making an oatmeal mask, make sure that you have the necessary elements prepared. Here are several recipes for effective masks for different purposes.

Rejuvenating

Cook medium thick porridge. Let it cool slightly - put a small amount in a ceramic or glass bowl. Add two tablespoons of cottage cheese, a teaspoon of thick sour cream, and an egg yolk. Lightly beat the mixture. Cover the entire surface of the face, neck, and décolleté with a thick layer. Exposure time – 30 minutes.

This recipe is especially suitable for women over 50 years old. Wrinkles are smoothed out, turgor increases, the skin takes on a fresh, well-groomed appearance.

Cleansing

Using a blender, grind the oatmeal into powder. Pour two tablespoons of the resulting mixture into a shallow glass bowl. Grind a small half of a fresh cucumber. Combine with prepared powder. Mix thoroughly. Then you need to add two raw proteins and five tablets of powdered activated carbon. Apply the mixture in a thick layer to a previously cleansed face. Action time: leave on for 30 minutes.

To relieve inflammation and remove acne

Pour hot milk over oatmeal (2 tablespoons). Let it brew. Add five aspirin tablets in powder form to this. Add a capsule of vitamin A and E. Apply a thick layer first to problem areas, then over the entire face, except the area around the eyes. It is enough to stand for about thirty minutes, then wash.

The combination of the beneficial properties of oats and aspirin is very effective. The medicinal mixture relieves inflammation and dries out acne. At the same time, it saturates all layers of the skin with nutritional elements.

Medical

Puree one medium onion in a blender until pureed. Combine the resulting slurry with half a glass of steamed flakes. Add a tablespoon of honey here. Using a fork, beat all ingredients for a minute.

Apply the resulting “porridge” to your face for a quarter of an hour. Then wash your face with cool water. Let your face “breathe.” After an hour, cover your face with a thin ball of nourishing cream.

If you haven't used all the prepared mixture, you can put the leftovers in the refrigerator. The healing mixture will not lose its healing properties within a week.

This recipe is good for people with acne scars and pimples.

For hydration

Two tablespoons of oatmeal should be mixed with the yolk and a tablespoon of heavy cream, a teaspoon of almond or olive oil. Add one capsule of vitamin B to the resulting mass. Then add a little juice from fresh cucumber. Apply to a previously cleansed face, leave for twenty minutes to half an hour. Wash yourself.

Preparing such a moisturizing mask will not take much time, but the result will exceed all expectations. The skin becomes very soft. The moisturizer should be applied immediately and not left for later.

Vitamin “overseas” cocktail

You will need about two tablespoons of mango pulp, one teaspoon of kiwi pulp, a tablespoon of softened banana. Then add two tablespoons of oat flour, diluted with water until it looks like thick sour cream. Mix all ingredients until a paste forms and apply to cleansed face. After forty minutes, wash with warm water.

This mask deeply nourishes tired skin and improves its tone. For “emergency rejuvenation”, do several sessions every other day.

For oily skin

Steam half a glass of oatmeal with hot boiling water, leave for half an hour and then add mashed pineapple and kiwi pulp to it. Mix all ingredients until a homogeneous mass is formed. Apply the resulting mixture to your face and leave for twenty minutes.

The mask is well suited for oily and combination skin types. It gently cleanses, tones and moisturizes, while also having an antibacterial effect.

For whitening and tightening pores

“Break” two slices of ripe papaya in a blender, pour a little lime juice into the resulting mass. Stir. Add a quarter cup of cooked oatmeal to the resulting mass. Apply the mixture to your face, neck, and shoulders. Leave for 40 minutes. Rinse with cool water and a little lime juice.

This mask is well suited as a cleansing and youth-restoring product. It tightens pores, removes inflammation and irritation, lightens red and pigment spots, and gives the skin a matte tint.

Against fading and aging

Mix the peeled peach pulp and 2 large apricots. Add half a tablespoon of sour cream and a spoonful of oatmeal to the mixture. Beat the mixture thoroughly by hand for a couple of minutes. The mixture should be homogeneous and smooth. Exposure time is 25 minutes.

The mask should be used if you feel that your skin is aging and fading. It makes wrinkles less deep and literally returns youth to the skin.

Against expression lines

Take a handful of ripe raspberries and mash them thoroughly. Combine with three tablespoons of chilled milk. Then gradually add half a tablespoon of oatmeal, and then two quail egg yolks. Stir using a wooden spoon. Action time: 20 minutes.

Oatmeal face mask - how to prepare and apply correctly

So, cereal masks are made from both flour and cooked oatmeal. The flakes are simply doused with boiling water or boiled milk, left until the porridge has cooled, then the necessary ingredients are added depending on the type and needs of the skin.

Using an oatmeal mask - practical tips

• It is important not to let the mask cool completely - when warm, it will open and cleanse the pores, and the effect will be much better than using a cold mask.

• The mask should always be applied to a cleansed face, but for a better effect, it is recommended to pre-steam the face. This way, the pores will open and the skin will more easily absorb all the nutrients.

• Oatmeal masks are left for 15-20 minutes.

Before preparing an oatmeal face mask, you need to determine what kind of skin you have and the purpose of the mask. What results are you expecting? The choice of the right additional ingredients for the mask depends on this:

• For dry skin Caring oils, honey or sour cream, and also avocado are suitable.

• For oily skin- lemon, grapefruit, cucumber, soda.

• To nourish the skin- yolk, vitamins A and E in oil, milk or yogurt.

• For acne-prone skin– decoctions of herbs, proteins,,, nettle.

Indications for use:

An oatmeal mask, depending on additional ingredients, is recommended if:

• The skin is dry - especially if you add yolk, cream or sour cream, butter and olive oil to the oatmeal.

• Sensitive skin - oatmeal gently cleanses and nourishes without causing irritation, it acts more gently than any other product.

• Oily facial skin - a base of oatmeal in water with lemon, baking soda, green tea or herbal decoction will remove oily shine and inflammation.

• Aging skin – oatmeal has long been known for its rejuvenating properties. A rolled oats mask will make your skin firmer and more elastic.

Contraindications:

In its pure form, an oatmeal mask has no contraindications. It acts carefully and very gently while remaining one of the most effective facial skin care products.

However, you should always be careful when choosing additional ingredients for a mask. Firstly, you should always check the finished mask for possible allergic reactions. Secondly, always consider your skin before adding any ingredient. For example, lemon juice is contraindicated for sensitive skin. No matter how many pseudo-experts wrote, sour cream is not recommended for oily faces, low-fat yogurt is better, etc.
