Honey and Egg Mask

Ingredients:

1 tsp Honey
1 Egg
1/4 tsp Apple cider vinegar
1 drop Lemon essential oil
1 drop Lavender or bergamont essential oil

Instructions:  

Beat the egg yolk or egg white in a small bowl. If you want both the tightening and moisturizing effect, beat the whole egg until it is well combined but not frothy. Hand beating is better than using a mixer or egg-beater. Add 1 tsp. honey and 1/4 tsp. of vinegar. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Add one drop of lavender essential oil to the mixture for dry skin, one drop of bergamot essential oil for normal to oily skin. Combine well with the egg-honey mixture, making sure the oil is incorporated.

Apply to cleansed face and neck. Leave the facial on for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
