Tip Tuesday: The Easiest Face Mask Ever

Are you ready to hear about the easiest, cheapest face mask you can do any time at home?  It sounds weird, but it totally works...

Honey! 

:: Yummy! ::

Yes, just the normal pure honey that you keep in your pantry to drizzle on Greek yogurt... that honey!  (Raw, unpasturized honey is best.)

It's a great face mask to do a couple times a week.  Wash your face, slather on honey, and leave it on for as long as you can stand having a bunch of honey on your face... 10 minutes or even an hour.  Because it's so natural (and non-toxic - bonus!), you really can't overdo it.

Honey is a natural antibacterial and anti-inflamatory, so it works to gently clean your pores and help with acne/blemishes.  (Like anything that extracts the bad gunk, you might find things get a little worse before they get better, since it's drawing out all the build up at first.  Sad, I know, but a necessary evil.)

A couple things to keep in mind before you try it out:
1. It's not as hard to wash off as you think.  Apply it to your face with your fingers, and your fingers will quickly rinse off with soap and water.  (When you're done, your face will wash off easily with water, too.)
2. But honey is just as sticky as you're thinking on everything except skin, so be sure to pull your hair off your face and keep it away from any clothes.

Enjoy!

P.S. Bonus tip: If you are traveling and want a mask and find yourself at a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, bring a couple of their honey sticks back to your hotel... boom!  Insta-treatment!
