Main ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon finely ground oat flour or colloidal oats
- 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel
- 1–2 teaspoons cooled calendula tea
Why this mask is gentle
Calendula tea gives the recipe a soft ritual feel, oat flour makes the texture cushiony, and aloe vera gel helps the paste spread without harsh rubbing. It is designed for sensitive-feeling skin that prefers short, simple masks.
Recipe ingredients
- 1 tablespoon finely ground oat flour or colloidal oats
- 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel
- 1–2 teaspoons cooled calendula tea, added slowly
How to prepare
- Brew calendula tea and let it cool completely.
- Mix oat flour and aloe vera gel in a clean bowl.
- Add calendula tea a few drops at a time until the mask becomes a soft paste.
- Apply a thin layer to clean skin, avoiding the eye area.
- Leave on for 5–7 minutes, then rinse gently with lukewarm water.
How often to use
Use once weekly at most if your skin is sensitive-feeling. Skip it if skin is irritated, sunburned, freshly exfoliated, or broken.
Quick checklist
- Patch test first.
- Keep the mask damp and thin.
- Do not scrub with the oats.
- Follow with a simple moisturizer.
