Facemask you can EAT!

Do you ever have those moments where you desperately want to put a face mask on because your pores feel in desperate need of a clean out and you search high and low in the bathroom for something and you just can't find anything?

Stop looking in the bathroom! Go to the kitchen, find your cinnamon and nutmeg, and your tub of honey. Organic honey is best, but you can use any honey (except for the kind with wax).

In a small bowl mix 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, mix together (I find best with a teaspoon) until it's all mixed in and is a brown sugar colour.

Try not to eat it when you put it on your face, because it's damn delicious! It'd be great on a bit of toast I reckon. But that's probably another recipe!

So smooth it all over your face, it's really sticky so I find it easier to use the back of the spoon rather than my fingers.

 

So it'll look like this when on. Put it on your lips too, it gives them a great smooth finish. I'd recommend also wearing a old crappy top or put a towel around you because it's honey, it's going to drip.

Leave it on for 30 minutes, then whilst you're washing it off in warm water, do some circular motions all over your face, as the nutmeg and cinnamon will exfoliate but not in a harsh way.

Then once it's all cleaned off you will be able to feel and see the difference in your pores and skin. Dab your face with cool water after to close the pores so as not to get any new gunk in your clean new face.

I recommend doing this once every fortnight. It's cheap, it's not mean to the environment or harsh on your skin, there are no yucky chemicals and if you get some in your eye it doesn't come with the "Seek medical help if eye contact is made"warning.

Give it a whirl, and let me know how it ends up!
