Recipe No. 1 Light mask
The simplest oatmeal acne mask is ready in minutes. For her, you need to take a handful of oatmeal and grind them to a state of flour (using a blender, coffee grinder and other improvised means). In extreme cases, you can just take the flakes without doing anything with them. Such a mask is also useful, but less effectively copes with the problem of acne.
Next, pour some hot water (2-3 tablespoons) over the oatmeal, cover and let it brew for about 5 minutes. During this time, the mass will swell and become mushy. Apply it in a thick, even layer all over your face. It is also possible on the area around the eyes, since oatmeal has good moisturizing and nourishing properties. Keep the mask on for 10-15 minutes and rinse off.

Acidified water will tighten enlarged pores, slightly lighten the skin (and with it blackheads), slightly dry out inflamed acne and produce a general calming effect.
To eliminate acne and its consequences, the mask must be done at least 1 time per week in combination with other means, or 2-3 times if nothing else is used.
Wash with oatmeal

In the first few days of using a natural "wash" may increase acne. This is due to the pulling action of oatmeal. It provokes natural cleansing of pores. Then the unpleasant side effect will disappear, the skin will become noticeably cleaner, softer and fresher. With regular use of oatmeal for morning washing, the threat of acne will gradually disappear.
