We don’t always have face-masks ready to use when we need them most. It could also be quite costly to have to go for a “professional” facial every time. Use this home made DIY face-mask recipe and learn if off by heart for those S.O.S situations to revive and revitalise your skin.
Using a combination of Yogurt, Oats, Lemon and Honey these are the benefits they can offer;
Yoghurt
Naturally moisturizes, lactic acid acts as an exfoliant. The abundance of zinc, reduces and prevents acne. The astringent properties also help shrink pores. Yoghurt also assists with reducing pigmentation whilst the anti-inflammatory properties assists in a great deal if you have suffered a bit from sunburn.
Honey
Again double wammy of moisturisers, anti-inflammatory benefits plus the added benefits of disinfectant, this is great news for those who have acne-prone skin. Anti-oxidants assist with tired stressed skin.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is a natural cleanser both inside and outside of the body. On the skin it acts as a natural exfoliant. Oatmeal also reduces redness and irritation. Oily skin will also benefit greatly from using oatmeal in a mask.
Lemon
Lemon is amazing for sundamaged skin and pigmentation and acts as a bleach for age spots as well. Using the above ingredients together amplifies its benefits for a bright dewy revived skin.
Method
- I used my Nutri Bullet to mill the oats with the milling blade. This is important to enable you to mix the other ingredients and form a paste. More importantly it breaks the oats down to make the vitamins and minerals ready for the skin to absorb.
- Mix two large scoops of Plain Yoghurt, 2 teaspoon of honey and half a lemon in a small mixing bowl.
Apply liberally using a mirror avoiding eyes.
Leave to dry. (try not to let your house pets get hold of your face)
Rinse using small circular motions to further the exfoliating process. And Voila! I will be giving away one @NutriBulletSA to a lucky reader this month keep an eye on the blog for more details this week!
Yours in Health

About the Author
Yes I am THAT girl that hopped around on an island in Panama on the first season of survivor South Africa (my claim to fame). Thank goodness I had a modeling career to fall back on because I was left starving and I didn't win the million bucks!
I am anything but ordinary and I have learned to be ok with it. What drives me is the stuff that I love doing, spending time with good friends, learning from extraordinary people, drinking wine, writing, (did I mention drinking delicious wine?) I love traveling, nature, animals, exercise helping others to achieve their goals gives me a kick, I thoroughly enjoy music that moves me and love looking at and taking pictures that speak to me. I stay slim by following a healthy diet of wine and carrying my massive baby around (not sure how he got that big but he is huge, and very cute) - He is my absolute pinnacle out of everything I have done right so far. (I actually have some real weight loss secrets on The Jog Blog) I also run with my two Jack Russell's Jesse and James, James is really, lets call it, "big boned", so I wouldn't say we run marathons but we at least enjoy it thoroughly. Like all South African's I also love the odd South African Braai and grew up barefoot playing on dirt roads.
The biggest goal in my life is to enjoy and savor every moment, to be mindful of each and every person and situation in my life and to be the master of my own mind.
What do I do for a living? I have a bit of digital savvy, write a lot, manage projects and initiatives that help promote brands digitally and love a challenge. I am an avid entrepreneur Sport and Sports-development is close to my heart.
I also proudly endorse Futurelife, Garmin, Adidas Eyewear and Cipla Nutrition.
I help where I can do the best with what I have and give it my 110% I am the Glass-Half-Full girl and thank you for supporting The Jog Blog.
