Besides being very favorable for all skin types, the Oatmeal and Brewer’s Yeast Mask is also very suitable for nourishing the hair.

If you want to achieve a healthy and radiant complexion, you should try the following oatmeal and brewer’s yeast mask that we are going to propose.

Remember that some external factors such as the weather or pollution, added to internal factors such as aging itself and the maintenance of bad life habits, which have a significant impact on our appearance.

However, we can prevent its deterioration and improve our appearance in terms of shine, hydration and cleaning with the help of some natural ingredients. This is what we are going to achieve with the oatmeal and brewer’s yeast mask.

Although we use toners and moisturizing lotions every day , our skin often needs an extra dose of nutrients.

Why a natural mask?

A natural mask is a topical treatment that allows us to deeply nourish the skin, without using chemicals ; that although they may seem very beneficial, they can be too aggressive when used in excess.

In addition, we can afford to use ingredients that we do not always include in our beauty and care routine.

On the other hand, the preparation of the mask with natural ingredients becomes a kind of ritual that allows us to relax and give us a few minutes of tranquility. 

Once applied, we can rest for a few minutes, while we let the pores of the skin absorb the nutrients of the chosen ingredients.

The power of natural ingredients

The advantage of using natural ingredients is that in this way we avoid other components that could be harmful to health, such as parabens, paraffins and other petroleum derivatives, etc.

The oats

Oatmeal is the queen of cereals because it contains a large amount of nutrients capable of benefiting many aspects of health. However, in the case of facial masks, their content of B vitamins and fiber stands out.

Mucilages are components of a soluble fiber with emollient properties, that is, they hydrate and protect the skin and prevent its deterioration. This virtue is very suitable for sensitive skin or acne.

In addition, oats contain many nutrients that revitalize the skin and hair, among which vitamin E and minerals such as zinc, iron, magnesium or calcium stand out.

The texture of ground oats allows a gentle exfoliation of the skin and eliminates dead cells that accumulate on the skin and give it an aged and dull appearance.

Brewer’s yeast

Brewer’s yeast is a very complete nutrient for health and beauty. It contains proteins and essential amino acids but also stands out for being rich in:

• Vitamins (B1, B2, B6).
• Minerals (folic acid, iron, phosphorus, chromium, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, zinc, selenium).
• Trace elements.
• Carbohydrates

By applying brewer’s yeast topically, we get better skin health. This can be noticed at the level of hydration and cleaning. Therefore, acne sufferers can use this ingredient to combat their problem.

And, in the case of hair, it also helps prevent hair loss and strengthen hair from the roots. 

Oatmeal and brewer’s yeast mask

This oatmeal and brewer’s yeast facial mask is suitable for all skin types : oily, dry, combination, mature, sensitive or with acne.

Thanks to these two ingredients, which are very balancing, purifying and emollient, we will be able to regulate the sebum of the skin, without drying it out.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons of ground oats (20 g).
• Warm water (the amount needed).
• 1 tablespoon of powdered brewer’s yeast (10 g).

Preparation

• We will mix the ground oats and the brewer’s yeast in a container.
• Add the warm water, little by little, until we get a kind of homogeneous paste.
• If we wish, we can add a few drops of tea tree essential oil.
• Apply on a clean face and let it act for approximately 20-30 minutes.
• We rinse with water and neutral soap.
• At the end, we can apply a moisturizer.

recommendations

The mask paste should not be too solid, since that would make it difficult to apply, nor should it be very liquid, since it would constantly slide down the face.

When preparing this oatmeal and brewer’s yeast mask, we can also  purchase a brewer’s yeast enriched with vitamin B12. In this way, we will get a much more nutritious product.

If the skin does not react favorably to the treatment, the face should be rinsed with water and neutral soap and the use of the mask should be discontinued. Consult with your doctor to assess whether the problem is due to a yeast allergy.
