Clean, clear beautiful skin is something everyone wants. Many will want this complexion on their face while some other parts of their anatomy. This is the main reason people spend a ton of cash on those expensive beauty products or professional spas.

In your microwave, warm up half a cup of water. In a bowl, mix together some instant oatmeal, a couple teaspoons of honey, a tablespoon of cinnamon powder and some infants or toddlers' milk (regular milk is the wrong consistency). Add the water to the bowl of ingredients and mix together thoroughly until you have a paste. Test the temperature of the paste to make sure it won't burn you, then apply to your face. Avoid your eyes, but otherwise spread evenly over your face. Let the paste sit on your face from a half an hour to a full sixty minutes. After that time, wash it off with water and papaya soap, which can be found in most organic sections of the grocery store. If you don't want to use papaya soap, use whatever you have on hand.

This next recipe includes yogurt and cooked oats. Be sure that you mash the cooked oats as you mix the ingredients together. Don't apply this to your skin before making sure the oats have been completely broken down. If you like a thinner mixture try adding a touch more yogurt or some milk to thin it to your liking. Spread onto skin just as you would a cream taking care to avoid your eyes and let sit. After you've allowed the mask to dry use warm water to remove and pat dry. Then follow that with your regular moisturizer.

Also try dampening three tablespoons of oatmeal with a bit of water, then add two teaspoons of witch hazel. Apply to your face using upward, circular motions, after mixing the ingredients together. After letting it sit for just a moment or two, use clean water to thoroughly rinse your face. Gently pat your face dry, using a soft, dry towel.

You probably already have all the ingredients needed to make these recipes. Doing so will save you money while also giving you the beautiful skin that you've been hoping to have for so long. Considering you can get the same results in the comfort of your home, why spend extra money at a spa?
