o try not to make it too heavy. When the oatmeal cools, it will begin to fall off, then you can take the excess oatmeal off and splash water on your face. If the oatmeal leaves behind a slime, leave it! It's good for your skin:)

Oh sorry, I copy and pasted and it didn't come out all the way >.< I'll retype it.
A great, cheap, easy home made facemask: oatmeal! Take about 1/4 cup dry oats (not instant oatmeal) and mix with double the amount f water (ex, 1/4 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup water), and put in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. When it finishes, put it in the freezer for about five minutes (or until it is still hot, but not so hot it will burn your face. Take the oatmeal out of the freezer and scoop up little bits with your hands, and roll it into little balls and then flatten onto your face. Continue to do this all over your face forming a mask. Don't make the mask too thick or it will fall off, and don't let it cool to long in the freezer or it will fall off. The mask should stay on for several minutes until the oatmeal cools and begins to fall off, when this happens, remove the excess oatmeal from your skin and splash water on your face. Your face may appear red and blotchy from the heat, but it will go away by morning (this is a good mask for night time) and you'll wake up with your skin feeling fresh and problem spots/ some acne smaller or dried out, making them easier to remove. If the oatmeal leaves behind a slime on your face, leave it! It's good for your skin:)
