Before applying any facial mask clean your face and neck with fresh water. Take off all cosmetics, creams, lotions, in short: everything. Use a non abrasive, non aggressive soap if necessary. When finished, pat your skin dry

Even better is to take a hot shower or a steam bath to clean and open up your pores. For some useful steam bath suggestions & tips check our steam bath page

When you have applied the mint face mask of choice make sure you take your time to lie down, place a towel under your head and neck. Put 2 cucumber slices on your eyes; or use 2 used and cooled down chamomile teabags (our personal favorite!) or 2 cotton pads soaked in rose or lavender water

Natural face masks

As a general rule, cucumber and mint are natural refresheners. So this mint face pack will definitely stimulate and jump-start your skin

What do you need:

• 1/2 cup Cucumber solid parts (without juice)
• 1/4 cup of finely chopped fresh Mint leaves
• fresh Water

How to do it:

Wash the cucumber and cut it into pieces. Put these in a food processor and really mash them. Pour it through a clean piece of cloth (called straining) and throw the juice away, just keep the solid parts. You need 1/2 cup of this

Put these cucumber solids together with a bit of fresh water in a pan and warm it up over a slow fire (you could also use your microwave of course…about 4 minutes.) Then add the chopped mint leaves, stir and continue to heat it (if you use a microwave, about 5 minutes on medium strength)

Take it off the heat source and let the cucumber mint mix cool down until it is cool enough to apply

Spread this gently and equally with your fingertips on your clean face and neck: keep the eye area clear

Now lie down, relax and leave the mask on for 15 minutes

Then wash it off with cold water; pat your skin dry with a clean towel

Natural face masks

A very fresh mint face pack that will clean and shrink your pores

What do you need:

• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon organic Honey
• 1 teaspoon crushed dry Chamomile flowers
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh Mint leaves

How to do it:

Warm up the honey until it becomes liquid (not too hot!) by putting it in a small glass or metal bowl which is immersed in hot water. Break the egg and beat it just a bit, not too much. Gently mix in the crushed dry chamomile flowers, liquid honey and fresh mint leaves. Mix until you have a smooth, thick and sticky paste

A small word of caution: before you apply any mask, we recommend you do a patch test on a small piece of skin to test your sensitivity to it
