Relaxing Facial Recipe
Homemade Spa recipe for a creamy facial mask that leaves your skin soft and refreshed.
Does a long hard day (or week) at work leave you tired and stressed out? I don’t know about you, but when that happens to me, all sorts of stuff happens to my face from wrinkles to dark circles. Not exactly the look I was going for. This relaxing facial recipe helps me relax and keeps my skin soft and smooth at the same time.
Ingredients
- 1 beaten egg (unclogs pores)
- 1 carrot (cooked and mashed)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 avocado (peeled and mashed)
- 3 tbsp honey
Directions
Combine the egg, mashed carrot, cream, avocado and honey in a bowl. Make sure the carrots are cooled down before you add them, or they will start to cook the egg. Stir everything together with a fork until they are well combined. Of course you could also throw everything in the blender and combine it that way.
Spread the mixture all over your face, being careful not to get it in your eyes or mouth. Leave it on for about 10 minutes, then rinse the mask off with plenty of warm water.
You can repeat this relaxing facial mask weekly, or just throw it together when you need to relax and pamper yourself.
