Natural Face Mask

Natural Face Mask
Naturally get younger, super smooth, beautiful clear skin.

Egg-cellent Egg mask

 What you need to get from your kitchen:
1 Egg (just the egg white)
1 teaspoon Honey (I use organic honey)
1/4 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar (I used Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar- got it at the co-op in town)
*you can NOT use regular vinegar*


How to make it
Separate the white from the yoke of the egg, and use just the egg white.
In a bowl whisk the egg white until it's frothy
Add in the tsp of organic honey and 1/4 tsp or organic apple cider vinegar and mix in.
With a teaspoon, apply on your face spreading it with the smooth part of the spoon, feels great and will spread well.
Then leave on your face for abut 20 minutes, letting it dry and tighten up.
Then with a warm wash cloth rinse it off your face and you will find your face super smooth!  Do this treatment as often as you want, daily, weekly etc. 
This batch makes enough for several applications, so invite friends over for free facials:p

My skin felt Amazing after! Stay tuned for another face remedy tomorrow:)
 
Make Note* The best quality apple cider vinegar is made with fresh organic apples that have been crushed and allowed to mature (aka ferment)  in wooden barrels. The good kind (like the Bragg ACV)  retains the “mother,” which is a natural sediment on the bottom of the bottle and it should be a little cloudy and sort of honey colored. This is the same kind that is wonderful for you to drink with water (one tsp of apple cider in a full glass of water). I'm not a fan of the taste, but the health benefits make it so worth it!
 

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR contains natural enzymes, vitamins and minerals and is rich in antioxidants.   It has Vitamins A, B and C, beta carotene, bioflavonoids, calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, copper, iron, sulfur, iron, fluorine, silicon, boron and pectin. How's that for super vinegar! It naturally balances the pH balance of the skin, fight bacteria, infections and is a natural anti-fungal, AND it reduces inflammation. It is an awesome astringent (toner), for sensitive and oils skin. Vinegar can even do wonders for acne and itchy skin conditions due to eczema and sunburn and can help blast fungal infections, warts and even skin tags!
HONEY, I love you, let me count thy ways:
The natural occurring acids in honey acids are very safe to use on skin and can loosen bonds between the dead skin cells junking up your skin, making it easier to shed the dead layer and reveal your smoother  more glorious skin underneath! These acids also increase elasticity, balance out oily skin, stimulate collagen production, and minimize lines and wrinkles making you look younger and more "new and improved"!  And honey is safe for the most sensitive skin...honey has even more awesome qualities, used since ancient times!



Why EGGS are "egg-ceptional":
 An egg mask is one of the best natural remedies for irritated skin.  Eggs contains amino acids that help in reduction of any inflammation. Eggs not only smooth and tighten the skin, but help shrink pores. Even put it on your neck to tighten any skin that isn't a tight as you'd like!
