Oatmeal Face Mask -For Stubborn Pimples

Cassie Mae
Tired of one stubborn pimple that refuses to go away? Oily face that needs freshening up? Try this mixture my husband taught me in our twenties. I recommend that you use it at night. You do not want to put makeup on after using it as the make-up will go right into your pores. The following day is fine to apply make-up.

Oatmeal and egg mixture

Crack egg and only use the white part.
(Save yolk for breakfast or baking cookies or a cake for later. You can tell I don't like to waste!)

Add oatmeal until you get a 'mask' that will apply to your face. Stir until well mixed.

Apply mixture to face until it dries. Leave on about 15 minutes. Your face will tighten. It will be difficult to even smile!

Wash off with warm water and washcloth. Rinse face well with warm water.

By the following day, you will see your pimple(s) have gone done quite a bit. The oatmeal really dries it out. Save money using this instead of expensive store products. I would only use on problem areas if you normally have dry skin.

This is the best working facial I've ever used to get rid of pimples!

    Meagan--I would try this mask....it works VERY well. Try it 2 or 3 x's a week at first. I would skip a day in between as it really is drying. Since your pimples are bigger and under the skin it may take about 5 days to totally get rid of them. If this does not work--check with a dermatologist! Good luck hon!

    The oatmeal should be regular old fashioned oatmeal. (Which I mean not the kind with apple flavors or blueberry, etc.)

    No, you do not cook the oatmeal.

    I LOVE this recipe--just be careful--it dries up the rest of your face if you use it too much! Sucks the pimples right out!

    I'm glad others are being helped!
