The big challenge for Fall skin is to off-set the sun and wind exposure from the summer, and the stress of the changed life pace brought by the end of the vacation season, return to school and work and picking up old and new responsibilities.
Here's a quick and easy all natural skin fixer that will help "abused" skin achieve a healthy glow.
Rejuvenating Oatmeal Mask
Oats and oatmeal (not instant or sweetened, but whole grain, steel-cut oats!) are credited with many things. They are an excellent source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, thiamine, iron, beta-glucan (which may help regulate blood sugar) and the antioxidants known as avenanthramides (which may help promote healthy circulation). Oatmeal is also believed to help reduce harmful cholesterol levels and it may boost the immune system.
It is also a very good "skin food" that can clean and moisture the skin, help with sun discolorations and even calm poison ivy irritated skin to become less sensitive.
Oatmeal is known to cosmetic gurus for years as a natural scrub and acne helper because it cleans and tones the skin.
Try this variation of the basic oatmeal mask that has lavender in it for an aromatherapy effect and to alleviate the stress of the quickening Fall pace.
