This mask is a lovely way to give yourself a freshly made, pampering mini facial in the comfort of your own home.  Mix 1 -2 tsp of the mask with a tsp of warm water, herbal tea, or flower water, and blend to a smooth consistency. Apply to clean damp face, with your fingers or a brush, avoiding the eye area, and leave for 5-15 minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water to leave cleansed, softened, and nourished skin.

*Once your mask has been blended, it can be customized by adding 2 drops of Rejuvenating Facial Serum, other face oils, or 1-2 tsp of natural yoghurt for extra moisturizing nourishment.

Follow with a spritz or toner and a Renewing night moisturizer if you wish. Patch test if you think you might be sensitive to any of the ingredients. Store in a cool, dry place and avoid getting water into the jar.
