Face Masks & Creams
Honey & Cream Mask
1 Tbsp. Honey
1 Tbsp. Coffee Cream
Mix the unheated honey (heating will destroy the
precious enzymes), with the cream. Smooth over a cleansed face
and very gently pat into all the lined areas, carefully pressing open all
those tiny grooves. Leave for a few minutes; rinse with lukewarm water.
Honey Wheat-germ Cleanser
5 Tbsp. Honey
1 scant Tbsp. natural wheat-germ
Honey and wheat-germ together make a splendid
facial cleanser, especially good for removing blackheads. Mix the
two ingredients together and spread on face. Keep on for fifteen
minutes, reelaxing while you wait. Wash off with lukewarm water and
use cold water or astringent to close the pores.
Cucumber Eye Freshener
Place a slice of fresh cucumber over each
eye and relax for ten minutes.
Mint and Egg Treatment
Mint is good for stimulating circulation and awakening
dull tissue. Here is a complete facial treatment. Put the mint
tea in a pint of boiling water. Tuck your head under a thick towel
and steam your face over the tea for about 10 minutes. Then with
your pores well opened apply the face mask. Make the mask by mixing
the yolk of an egg with a few drops of almond oil if you have a dry skin,
or lemon or cucumber juice if you have an oily skin. Now with the
mask on steam your face for another 5 minutes. Rinse with luke-warm
water, splash with cold water.
Egg Cleanser
If you want to be extravagant you can use the yolk
of an egg every day to cleanse your skin. Spread on and rinse off
after three minutes. If you have an oily skin add a few drops of
lemon juice.
Use up the egg white by beating it and spreading
it on your face. Relax until dry then rinse off. It will firm
your skin and will remove tiny wrinkles for time being.
