Peppy-Mint Mask for Acne & Breakouts
Ingredients:
2 tbsp. of sea salt
1 tbsp. of warm water
3 drops each of peppermint oil
2 drops of tea tree oil
3 tbsp. of honey
¼ tsp. of cornstarch.
Place 2 tbsp. of sea salt into a small bowl and dissolve it with 1 tbsp. of warm water. Then add the 3 drops of peppermint oil, 2 drops of tea tree oil, and 3 tbsp. of honey into the salt water mixture and combined them together to form a golden yellow syrup. After add in your ¼ tsp. of cornstarch to help thicken the mixture right up into a light yellow creamy textured facial mask. If the mask is to runny add another small ¼ tsp. of cornstarch, and if the mask is too thick add a tsp. of warm water. The mask should be thick and easy to spread onto the face without dripping off of it.
First cleanse the skin with warm water and a facial cleanser. After take a small handful of the mask and lather it right onto the skin and face in a nice thick even layer. A burning, stinging, and cooling sensation will be present while the mask is on, but this is only because the mask is cleaning the acne blemishes and drawing out the puss and the toxins inside of them. The facial mask should be left on for 20 minutes. After it can be washed off with plenty of warm water. The salt and baking soda from the mask will help remove blackheads, whiteheads, and oils, and the peppermint oil and tea tree oil will help tone, cleanse, and kill the bacteria on the skin. The honey in the mask is meant to soothe, lightly condition, nourish, and kill germs on the skin as well to prevent further acne breakouts.
