Honey & Almond Oil Homemade Face Mask

Tuesday, May 1, 2012

Moisturizing your face is essential for preventing wrinkles and fine lines from appearing later on.  You should start taking care of your skin at a young age.  Of course, the last thing you want to do is risk putting harsh chemicals on your skin so you can start with this homemade remedy.


The honey and the egg yolk will penetrate your skin and moisturize it.  The honey also helps your skin retain moisture.

Almond oil is rich in unsaturated fats and essential fatty acids which get easily absorbed into your skin.  It is also rich in Vitamin E and Vitamin K.  Vitamin E is an great antioxidant which also helps keep you skin safe from free radicals (chemicals) in the air.

Similar to honey, it helps reduce the skin's water loss (helps to bind the water) thus reducing dry, and rough skin.

Ingredients:
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp honey
10 drops of almond oil

Directions:
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl to make your mask.  Leave it on for 10-15 minutes and make sure you're completely relaxed at the same time :) Take some time out for yourself!

Rinse off thoroughly and pat dry.  Remember to use a toner after you wash your face, followed by a moisturizer!  Toning is extremely important because it balances the pH level of your skin and also closes your pores so that the moisturizer and other dirt don't get into your pores and clog them.

Enjoy happier skin!
