6 DIY Oatmeal Face Masks For Flawless Skin

Face masks are one of our favorite skin care practices. We’re especially fond of the professional facial, but they’re so expensive that it can be difficult to afford more than 1 or 2 per year. In between those trips to the spa, we rely on store-bought face masks like the trendy Korean face mask or the charcoal face mask that has spawned so many funny (and painful-to-watch) videos on social media these days. Yes, you want to be careful when using certain peel-off masks so you don’t do more harm than good, but pretty much all of these masks offer some pretty compelling benefits. Face masks can:

• Help you relax
• Detox your skin
• Unclog pores
• Stimulate blood circulation
• Encourage collagen production
• Tighten your skin
• Moisturize your skin
• Help the rest of your skin care routine work better

If you ask us, those are more than enough good reasons to work in a face mask once per week. But as we touched on above, some store-bought face masks can be bad for your skin because of the chemicals and the aggressive adhesive they use. The last thing you want to do in your quest for smoother, wrinkle-free skin is do more damage. That’s where the do-it-yourself face mask comes in.

Silicone Skin Patches Are The Best Option For Flawless Skin

As good as DIY and store-bought face masks are, silicone skin patches like those from SiO Beauty are better. In fact, they’re the best option for achieving flawless, wrinkle-free skin with minimal effort. “Why minimal effort?” you ask. Because silicone skin patches are worn while you sleep for all-night healing. You don’t have to take any more time out of your busy schedule to mix up and apply a DIY face mask. Just remove the silicone skin patches from their protective packaging, press onto your skin, and go to sleep. What could be easier than that?

The power of the silicone skin patch lies in the microclimate it creates between your skin and the patch. This microclimate does two important things:

1. Pulls moisture up through the lower layers of skin
2. Traps evaporating moisture between your skin and the pad

All of this extra moisture floods your skin with powerful healing. The moisture promotes hydrates dry areas, smooths out wrinkles, and plumps and firms dull, flat skin. Ahhh, refreshing!

SiO Beauty Lift series patches come in five specially-designed shapes so you can target the problems areas on your face, neck, and chest.

• Brow
• Face
• Eye & Smile
• Neck
• Décolleté

And unlike DIY and store-bought face masks, SiO Beauty’s Lift series skin patches can be worn every night for supercharged wrinkle prevention. No DIY face mask can make that claim.
