Ingredients for Soothing Oatmeal Face Mask

You can really use any oatmeal for this oatmeal face mask acne recipe. Old fashioned will work, as will gluten free oats.

We like quick oats more though as they create more of a paste, and are less likely to clog up your drain.

Use what you have on hand, or add old fashioned oats to a food processor and pulse just a little to chop them lightly for the same effect of quick oats.

Shopping List for Coconut Oil and Oatmeal Face Mask:

• Instant Oatmeal (or Gluten Free Oatmeal)
• Unrefined Coconut Oil 
• (You’ll also need warm water…)

Special Tip: You can find all the measurements in the recipe card below. There you can choose how many uses of this coconut oil oatmeal face mask you want to make, and it will do all the measurement math for you!
