Lifestyle expert Leah Chavie joined us on Good Day Chicago to show us some creative ways to take care of your skin this winter!

1. Oatmeal Mask for acne & oily skin

-January is national oatmeal month

-Oatmeal absorbs oil from the skin's surface and naturally exfoliates

  • 2 tablespoons oatmeal (grind in food processor)
  • 1-teaspoon baking soda
  • Water (just enough to make a paste)
  • leave on 10-15 minutes

2. Cinnamon Honey Mask for dry skin

-The chemical makeup of honey attracts water, so it helps absorb and retain moisture on skin

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Leave on 10-15 minutes

3. Green Tea and Yogurt Mask for redness

-Antioxidants in green tea have cell rejuvenating properties making this green tea mask an effective and gentle treatment for skin that is red, sensitive and for rosacea patients.

Ingredients

  • 3 tsp green tea (about 3 bags)
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 3 tsp greek yogurt
  • Leave on 10-15 minutes
