Making your life greener - one bite at a time.

Because this facial contains mint and lemon juice, please avoid the immediate eye area (a thin slice of cucumber, works wonders for the eyes to reduce puffiness). If your skin is dry, replace lemon juice with orange juice for a gentler action.

1 egg white

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried mint flakes / 2 teaspoons fresh mint leaves, chopped and crushed

Mix all ingredients together in a blender until smooth

Refrigerate for 10 minutes

Apply to face 

Lie down and relax and leave for 15 to 20 minutes

1 teaspoon olive or sweet almond oil

2 teaspoons lemon or orange juice

4 drops lemon or orange essential oil

wholemeal flour, to thicken

To use, spread mask over face and neck be very careful if you have dry skin or 'broken' veins, as masks may be overstimulating).

Quick Egg Mask

An egg white lightly beaten, smoothed on the skin and rinsed off after 20 minutes, will tighten and tone your skin. If your skin is dry you should smear some honey or coconut oil on your skin before spreading on the egg white. If you have oily skin, 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice may be beaten into the egg white.
