The listed substances make oatmeal powder a truly universal beauty product, allowing you to both moisturize, nourish the skin, and restore it and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.

- noticeably improves the color, appearance of the skin, heals it due to vitamins.

When using this product, do not use the usual foundation or powder at the same time.

By the way, a huge advantage of oatmeal powder is that it does not clog the pores of the face, but returns it to a healthy and well-groomed look.


How is this powder prepared and how to use it?

The recipe for its preparation is quite simple in execution, however, you will need at least 24 hours for this.

However, doesn't such an effective and, moreover, natural cosmetic product deserve the time spent on it?

So how do you make oatmeal powder?

So, prepare four glasses of water (clean and cold, not boiling water) and about ten tablespoons of oatmeal (in this case, you should not use instant cereals, including assorted mixes that contain several different types of cereals).

The best way to grind your oatmeal is in a coffee grinder, so use it.

Wait until the largest particles settle on the bottom of the container, and then drain the water from it.

A similar procedure must be repeated three to four more times, because your main goal is to wash the maximum amount of starch from the ground oat powder with the same water.

When all the starch has already been washed, leave the container for about 30-60 minutes (a sediment should form at the bottom). The same sediment should be filtered through paper towels folded several times.

Then you need to dry the mass (as a rule, it takes a whole day), which you just filtered, putting it on a clean and dry napkin. Transfer the well-dried sediment to some dish, where it will be convenient for you to grind it until a homogeneous mass is obtained, that is, powder.

Pour the finished powder into a container - preferably in a jar with a lid, because the powder must be stored in the refrigerator and in a tightly closed container.

This cosmetic product can be used at any, even the hottest, season.

And oatmeal powder is applied using a special brush (it is also used for ordinary powder) or a puff - this is both quick and convenient, and you probably have a suitable accessory at home.


Disadvantages of powder

Unfortunately, it will not allow you to hide bruises on the skin, severe redness, if any, although it will be able to even out the tone well, will refresh your face.

It cannot be used outside the home, and if you decide otherwise, you will have to face a number of inconveniences, because oat particles brushed off with a brush easily fall on clothes and it is possible that they will leave noticeable marks on it.

In addition, oatmeal powder lacks a variety of shades. It is almost transparent, but at the same time the skin after its application becomes much lighter.

Of course, this remedy will not work for girls with swarthy, tanned skin, but it will make pale skin even paler. In short, you should think carefully before using it.

Testimonials

For the most part, homemade powder enjoys positive reviews.


Olga: “I gathered my strength and made myself this wonderful powder. Now I'm not overjoyed! It does not pollute the pores (and even cleanses them!), Mattifies well. I am very pleased, but so far I do not use it on a regular basis - I alternate with ordinary powder, because the oatmeal matting does not last long.

Irina: “I decided to do it just out of curiosity (and how will she harm me?). She insisted on it for only a few hours (this is not rice, it is softer, and there is no need to insist for many hours). In general, all the same, everything washed out remarkably well, settled down. The oatmeal is really good. It gave my skin a natural shine, slightly evened out the tone of the face, and matted the skin until the evening. I also applied it on the eyelids (for makeup), in my opinion, she coped with dignity. Although, of course, ordinary powder is somehow more familiar, easier and more comfortable to use. "

Alina: “Considering that I am quite white-skinned, besides, I used this powder only in winter, I really liked the tool. For every day, I think it will not work, but if you want to give your skin a rest or if you have a weekend, the option is ideal. Perfectly softens and mattifies the skin. "

Every woman loves a powder that helps hide imperfections on her face, tone and improve the appearance of her skin. Makeup usually consists of a solid foundation that includes a foundation that should not be visible on the face. The powder is also matched to the skin color, which should look natural. Usually, the powder is applied at the very end and only on certain areas of the face that have an oily sheen. Avoid putting too much powder on your face, especially if your skin is dry.

Also, when buying face powder, it is necessary to take into account the type and tone of the skin so that when applied it looks natural, hides flaws and emphasizes advantages. Today there are eight types of different powders (powder): loose powder, compact powder, matting, transparent, antiseptic, concealer (acne, pimples), shiny, bronze (replaces tonal means). The powder is usually matched to the color of the foundation.

Today there is a huge selection of different types of powder for high-quality makeup. However, for yourself, it is better to choose a powder that does not clog pores and allows the skin to breathe (high quality powder).
