DIY PUMPKIN FACE MASQUE MOTW

I love Fall and everything pumpkin (except pumpkin pie!) Pumpkins are an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamins A & E and zinc. These ingredients heal, soothe and moisturize the skin.


Pumpkin Pie Face Masque


ingredients:
2 tsp canned pumpkin
1/2 tsp honey (humectant)
1/4 tsp milk (you may use heavy cream for dry skin) 


Combine ingredients and mix gently. Apply to face- avoiding eye area, leave on 10-15 minutes and rinse well with warm water. Apply appropriate moisturizer for your skin type.

Ahhhhh Fall,

BANANA BREAD FOR YOUR FACE {MOTW}

I enjoy DIY homemade facial masques and will try to share one with you each week.

MOTW- Masque of the Week

Banana bread is yummo and a banana bread masque sounds like fun! I found a few recipe variations but picked this one to share with you:

BANANA BREAD MASQUE

1/2 very ripe banana, mashed

2 TBSP ground oats

milk or cream, add as necessary

pinch of nutmeg

2 TBSP whole wheat flour

To make ground oats- place rolled oats in a blender and grind until fine powder.

Whip ingredients together, adding cream or oats to create a creamy paste consistency. Apply to clean face and rinse after 5 to 10 minutes, pat skin dry.

This mixture is perishable, use right away.

The bananas are moisturizing, oats are soothing, milk or cream is softening, nutmeg is an antiseptic and flour is an antioxidant.

enjoy :)
