The effects of winter's bitter cold has left many complexions dehydrated and irritated. While there are many great commercial products on the market, sometimes it's fun to whip up a soothing mask using natural ingredients found in the kitchen. Here's is a hydrating mask to try now that most St. Paddy's Day celebrations are over.
Beer Mask
1 T beer
1 t plain yogurt
1 t olive oil
1 egg white
1/4 t lemon juice
Combine all ingredients. Apply to cleansed face. Leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse well with warm water. Store any leftover in the refrigerator.
Benefits: Beer balances the skin's ph level. Egg white reduces pore size and acne. Lemon juice helps to exfoliate dead skin cells. Lastly, olive oil and yogurt soothes, softens, and hydrates the skin.
