Cheers! To the Egg Nog Mask

Winter is so bad for your skin, dry heat inside, then the brisk cold outside. It’s important to keep the moisture in your skin by hydration and weekly masks to exfoliate. We don’t always have time to run and get facials, so I found this DIY mask recipe does the trick!

What You'll Need

1/3 cup rolled oats

1/3 cup eggnog

1/8 tsp ground cinnamon

Why These Ingredients Work

Oatmeal and eggnog are great for face masks because they both work as exfoliants to get rid of any dead skin. Eggnog is also great because the egg/milk combination will simultaneously soften and tighten your skin. The cinnamon, besides giving the mask a great, holiday smell, will help calm any stress-induced acne--cinnamon has natural anti-inflammatory properties that will help calm red skin and clean out your pores. Bonus: if you don't have cinnamon in your pantry, nutmeg has similar properties!

To make the mask, simply combine the ingredients together in a bowl, allowing the oats to absorb some of the eggnog. Once it's thoroughly mixed, apply the mask to you face and relax. After 15 minutes, gently wash the mask off and appreciate the glowing skin that is left behind.
