Step-by-Step Instructions

• Ensure your coconut milk is well-chilled, as the cream rises to the top when cold. Scoop only the thick, creamy portion into a clean bowl.
• Add the honey and the finely ground oatmeal powder to the coconut cream.
• Stir all ingredients together thoroughly until you have a smooth, luxurious, and spreadable paste.
• Apply a thick, even layer of the mask to your clean face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
• Leave the mask on for 15 to 20 minutes. Allow the healthy fats and humectants to penetrate the skin deeply.
• When ready to remove, gently splash your face with lukewarm water. As the oatmeal loosens, use soft, circular motions to gently massage the flaky areas before rinsing completely.
• Pat your skin dry and immediately apply a nourishing moisturiser to seal in the hydration and benefits.

Why It Works for Flaky Skin

The Coconut Milk provides essential lipids to repair the skin barrier damaged by cold weather. Oatmeal gently removes the loose, flaky skin while simultaneously calming any redness or itchiness, leaving your skin soft and supple.
