TWO NEW FACE MASK RECIPES
Hi, I recently came across a magazine i'd forgotten about - herbs for natural beauty, and discovered some really good recipes for face treatments.
The following two are my faves:
DRY SKIN-AVOCADO CREAM MASK
1/2 ripe avocado
1tbls thick fresh cream
1tbls honey
1000mg evening primrose oil capsule
5 drops sandalwood E/O
rice flour-sufficient to make a paste
Mix avo,cream,honey,contents of capsule and E/O together until smooth,add rice flour to make a paste,cover and refrigerate for 30mins.
Lightly remix and apply thick layer to clean dry skin.Cover whole area of face,neck and decolletage.
Leave for 15mins,then rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
OILY SKIN-BREWER'S YEAST MASK
1tbls powdered brewer's yeast
1 tspn powdered spirulina
1 tbls plain yogurt
1 egg white
cornflour
Mix yeast,spirulina and yogurt together,whisk egg white until foamy in separate bowl,then add to yeast mixture.Stir to combine,adding cornflour to make a workable paste.Apply to clean, slightly damp skin
and leave for 15mins.then rinse off with cool water.
I love this,it was written on the same page as the oily skin masks:
'If God had wanted
me otherwise,He
would have created
me otherwise'

Hi just thought i'd quickly share a couple of 'springtime masks' to do as we enter warmer weather and skin goes through a few changes (especially in the wind).
OPTION 1: Mash ripe avocado & olive oil into a paste and apply to warm skin.(open the pores first with warm water and a muslin cloth),leave on face and neck for 10 mins.rinse off,pat dry and moisturize.
OPTION 2: This is an Ayurvedic recipe that an Indian lady gave me years ago and it's AMAZING.
Mix natural yoghurt,lemon juice and besan flour(chickpea flour) together.Apply to skin quite thickly and leave at least 15 mins.This mask can be done quite frequently and you will notice a difference in your skin for the better.(Indian grocery/specialty stores sell the besan flour).
Just thought id' add this amazing quote I found:
DO ALL THE GOOD YOU CAN,BY ALL THE MEANS YOU CAN,
IN ALL THE WAYS YOU CAN,IN ALL THE PLACES YOU CAN,
AT ALL THE TIMES YOU CAN,TO ALL THE PEOPLE YOU CAN,
AS LONG AS EVER YOU CAN-JOHN WESLEY
Love,Fiona
