Make Your Own:: Relaxing Face Mask

April 5, 2012 6 Comments

I’m a little high strung. And when I say a little, I mean little in the sense that it’s actually a lot. Like, I’ll just have a little ice cream. Ya feel? Anyway, I’m always looking for ways to unwind and take myself down a notch or 17.

For this mask, beat an egg white to the point of semi stiffness. Cut open 2 night time tea bags and empty the contents into a bowl. Mine were ground enough, but if your tea is larger, use a coffee grinder to make a powder.

Carefully fold in the tea, along with the honey and sweet almond oil. Don’t mix it too hard or the egg white will get flatter.

This simple face mask is perfect to apply right before a bath or at night while drinking some of the actual tea! The egg white makes your skin feel tighter, and the sweet almond oil is very moisturizing. I loved this mask, even though I was kinda bleh about putting an egg on mah facial parts.

Note that I don’t know your skin or allergies, so if your face turns green, don’t come knocking over here. Heard?

Happy Face Masking!

    I think your pictures look great with the pretty blue flowers for extra colour :)
