Step 1 of 21

put your 1/2 cup of oats into a bowl and cook using the directions on the side of the container

Step 2 of 21

my egg and lemon juice!

Step 3 of 21

1 tsp(:

Step 4 of 21

I just showed the egg and the lemon juice to show what I have.. don't mix it in yet!(:

Step 5 of 21

after your oatmeal is cooked...put it in the fridge to cool. make sure it's cool to the touch and not hot

Step 6 of 21

in the fridge you go!

Step 7 of 21

now, while I'm waiting for my lovely oatmeal to cool.. I'll tell you why the heck these 3 ingredients will help clear acne! next slide>>

Step 8 of 21

The oatmeal has antioxidants that will bring down the swelling, while the acid in the lemon juice will kill the bacteria in your pores! eggs have vitamin E in them which will tighten your skin....>>

Step 9 of 21

so that it appears perfectly smooth! (:

Step 10 of 21

add the egg

Step 11 of 21

stir! once you put the raw egg in...DON'T EAT IT. :)

Step 12 of 21

add lemon juice and stir

Step 13 of 21

put it on your face

Step 14 of 21

^^:P

Step 15 of 21

you can put it in a container and save it in the fridge for about a week. (7days)

Step 16 of 21

I like to make this on Sunday night and use it, then use it every night through out the week and throw it away on Saturday after I use it.

Step 17 of 21

As it dries, your face feels extremely tight! which means it is working:)

Step 18 of 21

wash it off(: when I rub it off with warm water, i rub in circular motions(:

Step 19 of 21

you can have this mask on for not even a whole night, even just a couple hours, and still see a very big difference. everyone's skin is different! but mine is Always soft after(:

Step 20 of 21

enjoy!(::

Step 21 of 21

p.s. since people clearly have a problem with eggs... after you mix the raw egg in, don't eat it. god knows why you would eat your face mask...but don't. k? k.

You're Done

Liza ... 2 weeks ago

Sounds great :D thnx for sharing this ^_^ i really wanna try it but I'm kinda worried that the egg smell will be too strong... :/ cause I'm weird and can't really stand the smell of eggs

Liza ... 2 weeks ago

Hi! I have a question about the egg. I'm a vegan so I don't buy or use eggs so I was wondering if egg substitute would work just as well? Great tutorial by the way!! Very informative :)

Crushing up the oatmeal will make it less messy on you face

Mimi Brown Eyes 3 months ago

Is this mask very drying?

Mimi Brown Eyes 3 months ago

yes, you can wear it over night or just for a few hours. over night would be bigger results tho of course(:

Grace Sammarco (author) 4 months ago

Nice, I had never heard about that trick before... Thanks, hope this really works

Nikky Falla 5 months ago

yeah I agree, it gets dry and is pretty nasty, but the end result after a couple weeks is totally worth it

Grace Sammarco (author) 7 months ago

I love this idea and tried it for the first time last night. Only thing I didn't like is how after 15 minutes, it all cracked and flaked and was falling all over my clothes. It was kind of gross.

Brittany Beshel 7 months ago

no problem(:

I guess lime juice would work but a lemon is preferred! but I think lime would work just the same(:

Grace Sammarco (author) 8 months ago

Can u use lime juice instead?

Bre Anderson 8 months ago

great!(: and thank you!!! (about the egg)

Grace Sammarco (author) 9 months ago

My bro suffers from acne so I will definitely reccomend this to him :) and whoever said you will get salmonella is wrong, it's only if you eat it

Rhianna Adams-Christie 9 months ago

ouch sunburn!!😨 but brown sugar! never thought of that!! glad i helped you(:

Grace Sammarco (author) 9 months ago

I recently decided I would try it, because my face was peeling after I had a really bad sunburn, I had tried about everything but but it just kept peeling, then I tried this with a bit of brown sugar in it, and it worked WONDERFUL thanks <3

Jenna Hornaman 9 months ago

yes, after using it you should return it to the fridge!

Grace Sammarco (author) 9 months ago

I made it last night and haven't used it yet but does it have to be put back in the fridge after your done using it? And yes you answered my question :)

Malea Sager 9 months ago

@malea it doesnt HAVE to be cold..but you store it in the fridge so it should be!(: but when you first make it, it doesn't have to be cold cold, just not hot!(: hope I answered your question! and good luck grace!

Grace Sammarco (author) 9 months ago

Grace Sammarco (author) 9 months ago

anytime!;$

Grace Sammarco (author) 9 months ago

Oh ok thank for your help

Megan L 9 months ago

it probably wouldn't work AS well, but my first time using it a while back I was worried I did it wrong so I took it off after like 2 hours and already saw a difference. so I guess you could but it wouldn't help as much as keeping it on overnight(:

Grace Sammarco (author) 9 months ago

Great guide and very detailed but I do you think it would be ok to use everyday before the shower and keep it on for the standard face mask time (5-10mins) and then wash it off in the shower? Would it still work as well?

Megan L 9 months ago

haha good

Grace Sammarco (author) 9 months ago

I'll make sure not to lol :3

Robert Nelson Jr 9 months ago

haha don't eat it Robert..don't eat it!;) hahaha, you're welcome:)

Grace Sammarco (author) 9 months ago

Good to know :) thanks!

Robert Nelson Jr 9 months ago

any eggs.. just don't eat it.

Grace Sammarco (author) 9 months ago

Not if you use pasteurized eggs... And as long as you don't eat it you should be fine just make sure to always wash your hands.

Estivaliz Galvez 9 months ago

It's said that one out of every twenty thousand eggs has salmonella. That's pretty low. But you need to injest a raw egg in order to get the bacteria into your system, so a face mask wont make you sick unless you eat it afterwards.. which would be kindda weird if you did;) haha, but no! it's only if you eat it(:

Grace Sammarco (author) 9 months ago

Nice guide :) but couldn't using raw egg put you at risk of getting Salmonella?

Robert Nelson Jr 9 months ago

any kind. as long as it says OATS. haha
