FOLLOW UP WITH FACIAL RINSING LOTIONS or FRESH FACIAL CREAM

** After using a mask, it's a good idea to follow up with either
FACIAL RINSING LOTIONS or FRESH FACIAL CREAM.

1. Peach Tightening Mask: Whip peach and egg white together in a blender until smooth. Gently pat mixture all over your face, relax 30 minutes and then rinse off with cool water.

2. Strawberry Drawing Mask: Mix strawberries and cornstarch together to make a paste and apply to face, avoiding the delicate area around your eyes. Leave on for 30 minutes and rinse off with cool water.

3. Apple Mask for Normal Skin: Drop apple into food processor and chop. Add honey and sage and refrigerate 10 minutes Pat mixture onto your face with a light tapping motion, tapping until the honey feels tacky. Leave on for 30 minutes rinse.

4. Cucumber Mask for Oily Skin: Puree all and refrigerate 10 minutes. Apply mixture to your face and leave on 15 minutes Rinse with hot, then cool water.

5. Blemished Skin Mask: Blend all until just combined. Apply to skin, making sure the mixture is thick enough to stay on blemished areas: cheeks, forehead, or chin. Add a bit more oatmeal to thicken the mask, if necessary. Leave on 10 minutes and then scrub off with a clean washcloth dipped in warm water.
