After steaming, apply one of the following masks.

Oatmeal and Raw Honey Mask – Ideal for dry skin, this mask helps soften the skin, moisturizing the upper layers, leaving it vibrant and radiant.

1 cup oatmeal
1 cup filtered warm water
½ cup raw organic honey

Combine the oatmeal and water and allow oatmeal to absorb water.  Mix in the honey.  Leave on for 30 minutes, rinse with cool water

Pureed Pumpkin and Prune Enzyme Peel – This peel is perfect for every kind of skin.  The salicylic acid in pumpkin and prunes helps remove a buildup of oil in the pores and will brighten your complexion.

1/2 cup pitted prunes
½ cup canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling)

Combine the prunes with 4 cups spring water in a pot and heat on low for 30 minutes. Combine the prunes and pumpkin puree in a food processor and pulse until smooth.  Apply and leave on for 30 minutes.  Rinse with cool water.

Both of these masks are easy to make with products you’ve likely got in your pantry, or if not, the ingredients are super easy to get.

At home masks and beauty products are fast and effective, if you manage to make just enough for one application. Otherwise, your fridge won’t have any room for food, it’ll be so full of cosmetics!
