This DIY honey mustard salad dressing is yummy and has less fat than store-bought brands. Best of all, since it’s homemade, you can adjust it to your tastes.
When I was a little girl, my mom was always mixing up homemade facial masks and concoctions to help her nails stay long and strong. She even used common household items (like eggshells) to make plant food and fertilizer. As a result, I love experimenting with DIY skincare recipes. They’re budget-friendly and usually very effective.
Years ago, I found an oily skin oatmeal mask that I loved. You stored it in the fridge so it was nice and cool when you put it on your face. And it smelled like oatmeal cookies – uh, YUM! I’ve since lost the “recipe” for that mask, but here’s one I found that I like just as much.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cucumber
- ¼ cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons ground oatmeal
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
DIRECTIONS:
Place ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until creamy. Place in the freezer for approximately ten minutes to chill. Spread over face. Remember, this is homemade, so don’t expect it to look like a store bought mask. Allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes. Wipe mask off with cool water and pat dry.
How It Works
Each ingredient in this recipe serves a purpose for your skin. The base ingredient, cucumber, creates a soothing feeling and can help de-puff and even out skin tone. Yogurt acts as a moisturizer, and the lactic acid and vitamins found in yogurt nourish the skin and can kill the bacteria that cause breakouts. The oatmeal helps to soak up excess oil from the skin and lock in moisture. Honey has antibacterial properties that kill germs on the skin, and also acts as a moisturizer that can help fade the appearance of dark spots. And lastly, the citric acid in the lemon juice acts as a mild exfoliator that will help remove dry, dead skin cells and allow for new cells to replace them.

Slay Squad, seriously, let’s talk about menopause. What triggers your hot flashes?—and what helps you manage them when one hits? 🔥🥵
Sugar triggers mine, so I avoid it as much as possible. Every woman’s triggers can be different, but paying attention to what I eat/drink before a hot flash helped me recognize the pattern.
Here are a few practical things that help:
🔥 Track your triggers. Sugar is mine, but common triggers can also include caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods, hot drinks and stress.
🔥 Dress in lightweight layers. You can remove one quickly when your internal thermostat starts showing out! 🤭
🔥 Keep a cooling kit nearby. My turbo fan stays charged and ready! A cold drink and cooling towel can also bring some relief.
🔥 Keep the bedroom cool. A fan, breathable sleepwear and cooling sheets can make night sweats easier to manage.
🔥 Slow down and breathe. Stress can make a hot flash feel more intense, so a few slow, deep breaths may help your body settle.
🔥 Talk with your doctor. If hot flashes are disrupting your sleep or daily life, ask about treatment options. We don’t have to suffer in silence!
What’s your best strategy for managing hot flashes? Let’s help each other in the comments because these personal summers are NO joke! (and my A/C bill is getting ridiculous! ) 😫🔥
