I love to pamper my skin with a facial mask about twice a month.
If you are frequent reader here on my blog, then you know that I love whipping up different homemade facial mask recipes. I love the way my face feels smoother and softer after using a face mask. So here it goes another facial mask recipe to try at home.
DIY Dried Botanical Facial Mask
Ingredients:
- 2 Tablespoons of Finely Ground Dried Botanicals; Lavender Buds, Rose Petals, Calendula Petals.
- A Few Drops of Lavender Essential Oil
- 2 Tablespoons of Bentonite Clay
- 1 Tablespoon of Powdered Milk
- 1 Tablespoon of Finely Ground Oats
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Store in a jar with a tight fitting lid. Store in cool dry place for up to a year or more.
How To Use:
Take one tablespoon of the dry mixture and combine it with about one tablespoon of water, milk or yogurt. Mix until you have a thick paste. Apply to your freshly washed face and neck. Leave on 20 minutes, and rinse with a warm soft washcloth.
Tips:
- The milk contains lactic acid that helps lightens and softens the skin.
- The dried botanicals and oatmeal both make a wonderful natural exfoliant.
- Bentonite clay has the ability to absorb toxins, impurities, and detox the skin.
- This recipe makes four face mask treatments.
I store my combined dry mask ingredients with the essential oil added in a bottle. It is super easy to mix up a mask by just adding a splash of water, milk or yogurt.
