Hey Guys!
For us, a great way to spend a Saturday evening in is doing a face-mask. As teenagers, we have fairly temperamental skin, and although neither of us suffers terribly with acne or other skin problems we are prone to the occasional breakout. Typically we would bombard our face with products full of harsh products, but when we came across a youtube video the other day by 'Rachh Loves' about a three ingredient face-mask we thought it would be good to try something a little more natural and less harsh to improve our skin.
The recipe for the face-mask includes three ingredients which we can almost guarantee you will find in your kitchen- Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Bicarbonate of Soda (Baking Soda if you're American) and honey- watch the video to see the 'science' behind each of these ingredients.
3-Ingredient Face mask (makes 1 batch)
1 tsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 tsp. Honey
1 1/2 tsps. Bicarbonate of Soda
Method:
1) Add all ingredients into a small bowl
2) Mix together
3)Add more olive oil/honey/bicarbonate of Soda if desired 'paste' texture is not achieved
4) You simply smooth this scrub/mask onto your face after cleansing and leave for about 10 minutes before washing off and following with your usual products if desired. We found that this scrub helped to reduce any redness and inflammation on the face as well as gently exfoliating off any dry patches- it didn't break us out but if you are concerned about this it may be worth doing a small patch test to check it doesn't irritate your skin.
(Sorry that the mask is not the most attractive-but it does its job!)
Happy Facemask-ing!
