Honey and Almond Mask

Posted by Isabelle

Easy recipe to try at home - ready in seconds! This mask is ideal for dry and mature skins and is 100% natural

• 30ml Apricot, Evening Primrose oil or Rosehip (depending on your skin type)
• 1 teaspoon of clear, runny honey
• Enough finely ground almonds to make a paste
• 2 drop Frankincense
• 2 drops Mandarin
• 2 drops Neroli

Mix the oil and honey and add enough almonds to make a paste in a clean glass bowl. Add the essential oils.

Apply to your face and neck area, avoiding the eyes. Leave on for twenty minutes while resting with eyes closed.

If you don't have time or do not want to keep the mask for so long, you can just use it as a gentle exfoliator.
Rub in circular motions over the face. The ground almond is soft enough as to not irritate the skin (which is important for dry and sensitive skins) and will gently rub off dead skin particles.

Rinse off with warm water and follow with a hydrolat to tone and finish with moisturiser or night cream of your choice.

Any extra mask will last for three days if stored in the fridge. Cover with lid or cling film.

Enjoy!
