Ingredients Needed

Notes on Ingredients

Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.

When an essential oil is included, I use either pure or diluted essential oils. If using pure essential oils, use up to 2% by weight. To use diluted essential oils, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of pure essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.

If a recipe calls for fragrance oil, you can use diluted essential oil instead to benefit from both its scent and therapeutic effects. This provides a natural alternative to synthetic fragrance oils and offers additional benefits.

• Oat flakes. Use a blender to grind the flakes into a fine powder.
• Rose water
• Honey
• Fresh lemon juice. The lemon juice is not advisable for sensitive skin. See note below.

Note for Sensitive Skin

Lemon juice may cause irritation or a tingling sensation on sensitive skin. Consider using an alternative ingredient that provides similar benefits without the potential for irritation. Here are a few options:

• Cucumber Juice: Cucumber juice is soothing and has natural astringent properties. It can help tighten pores and refresh the skin without causing irritation.
• Aloe Vera Gel: Aloe vera is known for its calming and hydrating properties. It can help reduce pore size and promote healthier skin.
• Green Tea: Brew some green tea and let it cool. Green tea contains antioxidants and can help with pore reduction while being gentle on sensitive skin.

Tools Needed

• Blender to grind the oat flakes into a fine powder
• Bowl
• Tablespoon
• Teaspoon
• Small whisk

Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.

Spoon Measurement Terms

In some of our articles, and for non-liquid ingredients, we use the measurements ‘One Spoon,’ ‘Rounded Spoon,’ and ‘Heaped Spoon’, to measure the quantity of ingredients, rather than precise measurements in grams or ounces. This is because adding a little more or less of the ingredient does not affect the final product. Both tablespoons and teaspoons follow these guidelines. Here’s a brief explanation of these terms:

• One Spoon: Fill the ingredient in a measuring spoon, leveling it with a straight edge.
• Rounded Spoon: More than a level measurement, with the ingredient piled above the spoon’s edge in a rounded shape.
• Heaped Spoon: The non-liquid ingredient is scooped as high as possible on a spoon.

1- Start by using a blender to grind oat flakes into a fine powder. In the next step, you will need two heaped tablespoons of finely ground oat powder.

2- Put two heaped tablespoons of finely ground oat powder in a bowl.

3- Add one teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.

4- Add 1/2 teaspoon of honey.

5- Add three tablespoons of rose water.

6- Using a small whisk, mix the ingredients thoroughly. The resulting mixture should have a paste-like, smooth and spreadable consistency. It should not be overly liquid or excessively thick.

7- Your DIY Face Mask for Large Pores is now done and ready for use!

How To Use: DIY Face Mask for Large Pores

1. Prepare Fresh: Since this mask is easily prepared, it’s best to make a fresh batch each time you plan to use it. This ensures that you get the maximum benefit from the ingredients.
2. Apply Evenly: Begin by spreading the prepared oat-based mask evenly on the areas of your skin where large pores are a concern. Use gentle, upward strokes to ensure thorough coverage.
3. Let it Sit: Allow the mask to work its magic for approximately 15 minutes. During this time, relax and let the natural ingredients get to work on your pores.
4. Massage Gently: After the waiting period, wet your fingers slightly and, using gentle circular motions, massage the mask into your skin. This step helps to exfoliate and further enhance its pore-refining effects.
5. Rinse Off: To complete the process, rinse your face with lukewarm water. Make sure all traces of the mask are removed, leaving your skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated.
6. Twice a Week: For best results, incorporate this routine into your skincare regimen twice a week. Consistency is key to achieving smoother, more refined skin over time.

With regular use, this DIY oat power face mask can help you achieve the poreless complexion you’ve been dreaming of.
