Homemade Natural Face Mask and Toner


I found this recipe on a YouTube tutorial while I was looking for a natural face mask, and it works really well.

Mask:

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons green tea (cooled)
7 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon honey

Mix into a paste and apply it to skin. Rub on gently, and let it sit for 10 minutes.

The apply cider vinegar dissolves dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and detox's the skin. The sugar will exfoliate dead skin and scar tissue. The honey is a natural skin cleanser that is anti-inflammatory, moisturizes, reduces redness, stimulates skin cell renewal, and will firm the skin. The green tea will also detox the skin, as well as repair skin cells and has anti-aging properties.

The mask can be stored in the 'fridge for 1-2 weeks. Use the mask once of twice a week for best results.

Toner:
1 part apple cider vinegar
2 parts green tea (cooled)
1-2 teaspoons lemon juice (optional.)

Enjoy!
