Not Your Every Night Facial



Getting a facial is a wonderful experience, but its also an expensive one. You can use ingredients from your kitchen to create an at home spa experience. Dim the lights, light a few candles, turn on some Marvin Gaye and get started!

Steam your face
Boil 3 cups of water
Add two bags of herbal tea(chamomile and jasmine are my two favorites)
Once the water has cooled down(should be slightly warm), place a clean washcloth in the tea.
Ring it out and place it on your face .

Wash face with facial cleanser.

Exfoliate
1/2 Cup of finely ground oats
1 tablespoon of finely ground almonds
1 tablespoon f honey
1 tablespoon of aloe vera.
Rub gently onto your face in circular motions
  
Mask
Mash up ½ of a ripe banana
1/2 Cup of oats in a bowl and add a bit of water
Mix the banana into the bowl of water and oats.
Leave on face for 5 minutes and wash off.
