Face Masks
A moisturizing or deep-cleansing face mask improves your complexion. However
a mask should not be used more than once a week. Mixing your own essential
oil face mask takes only a few minutes and uses simple ingredients, but use it
within one hour.
Apply a mask to a well cleansed skin by smoothing it on evenly in upward
strokes. Avoid areas around the eyes, nostrils and the lips, but applying to the
neck. Relax for 10-15 minutes, allowing the mask to dry, then rinse with warm
water. For a deep-cleansing facial use your fingertips to rub the dried mask
away so you exfoliate the skin.
