As the crisp autumn air rolls in, our skin often pays the price—dryness, tightness, and dullness become common concerns. Instead of turning to chemical-heavy products, you can nourish your skin with simple, natural remedies. Using ingredients like oats, honey, and plant oils not only restores hydration but also creates a comforting self-care ritual for the cooler months.

Here are three easy, DIY skincare recipes perfect for autumn.

1. Soothing Oat & Honey Face Mask

This mask gently hydrates and calms irritated, flaky skin. Oats are rich in beta-glucans that soothe, while honey locks in moisture.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp finely ground oats

  • 1 tbsp raw honey

  • 1 tbsp warm water or milk

Instructions:

  1. Mix all ingredients into a smooth paste.

  2. Apply to clean face, avoiding the eye area.

  3. Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water.

💡 Tip: Use once or twice a week for soft, calm skin.
