It also helps cure?skin irritations and removes excess oil in your skin, but it does not completely rid your face of oil. This face pack goes well for people with oily skin. Oats rejuvenates your skin and makes you feel fresh and bright. Honey and oats bind?together and stick well to the face like parlor face pack. You can also add egg white to enrich the quality of your face pack thereby the texture of your skin.

Apply the mixture not only to your face but also under your chin and around the neck area.
