Cucumber Aloe Oat Quick-Comfort Face Mask

Best for

Sensitive-feeling or warm-weather skin that wants a short, soft rinse-off mask. Use only on intact skin.

Recipe ingredients

• 1 tablespoon finely ground oats or oat flour
• 1 teaspoon plain aloe vera gel
• 1 teaspoon fresh cucumber juice
• 1/2 teaspoon cooled green tea, as needed for texture

How to prepare

1. Grate cucumber and press out 1 teaspoon juice.
2. Mix oats and aloe in a small bowl.
3. Add cucumber juice and enough cooled green tea to make a soft paste.
4. Use immediately; do not store leftovers.

How to apply

Apply a thin layer to clean skin, avoiding the eye area. Leave for 5–7 minutes, then rinse with cool water without scrubbing.

Frequency and safety

Use once weekly. Patch test first, and avoid broken, freshly exfoliated, sunburned or irritated skin.

Quick Checklist

• Short contact time: 5–7 minutes.
• No rough rubbing.
• Fresh cucumber is a grocery ingredient, not an iHerb product.
• Stop if the skin stings or flushes.
