Homemade Pumpkin Oatmeal Facial Mask

 

Today I’m excited to have another new writer for you! Calie is a health and wellness expert! As you all know, I am a firm believer in natural living, and using only basic, natural ingredients throughout my entire home (from cleaners, to food, to beauty products)! I will be trying this over the weekend, and I hope you do to! Meet Calie:

Halloween may be over, but my obsession with pumpkin is only just beginning.

Today, we’re taking this antioxidant rich super food out of the kitchen and into the bathroom where we’ll whip up a hydrating fall face mask.

Pumpkin is known to help promote healthy skin, vision and immune function, which are all great reasons to eat more. But the beta-carotene that gives this fall fruit it’s rich orange color is also believed to help reverse skin damage caused by the sun and the alpha-carotene is thought to slow the aging process. Sounds like the perfect ingredient for face mask, right?

Here’s how you prepare it.

Ingredients:

  • · 2 cups canned or freshly pureed pumpkin
  • · ¼ cup oatmeal (exfoliating)
  • · 2 tablespoons almond milk
  • · 1 tablespoon raw honey
  • · ½ teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

Directions:

Whisk all the ingredients together in a medium size bowl until well blended. Apply generously to clean skin with fingertips avoiding the eye area and let the mask sit for 10-15 minutes.

While your pumpkin oatmeal mask is working its magic cleansing and moisturizing your skin, sip on a hot cup of roasted dandelion tea for an internal cleanse.

When the 15 minutes are up, wipe your face clean with a warm damp washcloth and enjoy soft, glowing skin.

Use this mask 2-3 times a week to heal summer sun damage and keep your skin exfoliated and hydrated throughout these cold, dry months. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

That’s it. One of my favorite homemade beauty products. All natural, no chemicals, healing and hydrating. It’s great for tired moms who need to be pampered for a few minutes.

alternative skin care and a mother’s day treat

I am so excited to share this with you because I know it is really hard to find a skin care line that you love and trust!

My thoughts on how fabulous the products I’ve been using for a year now were recently validated… the hard way.

You all know how many changes your body goes through once you get pregnant. And my lifetime of clear, blemish free skin ended as soon as I conceived. And well, let’s just say that my skin is now a good indicator of my cycle.

I ran out of my favorite acne fighting cream, so I thought I’d pick up a random one at Target while I was there instead of waiting 4 days for shipping. BIGGEST mistake ever. I washed my face with it that afternoon. By bedtime, my face felt tight and weird. The next morning… I couldn’t open my left eye.

I could also barely walk because I severely hurt my back. I called my cousin who is a doctor. She immediately called me in a steroid pack and brought it to me.

I quickly reached for my Calming Complex. And by that night, the swelling had went down quite a bit. The next morning (32 hours) I woke up with minimal swelling, and by that night, all the swelling was gone, but my eyes were super sensitive and dark red where blood had pooled. Yes, it was that bad. Day 4, I woke up with literally a dead face. It was peeling and red and blotchy, and soooo miserable. Day 7, I was a little better. My eyes weren’t quiet as dark red, but my skin and lips were still bad, but getting much better. By 3 weeks, I had my normal glowing skin back. And I thank my normal NATURAL repairing skin care for that!

And who better to create my favorite skincare products that my favorite company – Shaklee, the #1 nutritional company in the U.S.!
