Foodie Facial....Your gonna love it...and so will your face!
I love the fact that my blog not only conspires to address the gluten-free food issue, but the foodie facial issue as well. I love natural products and I'm often found creating another concoction related to beauty one way or another... If you want a natural face wash, try this at home. ***Do not use if allergic to nuts!
Almond Yogurt Moisturizing Facial Wash
1 Tbsp. Blanched Almond Flour
1 tsp. (2 tsp. for a drier complextion), Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbsp. Mountain High Original Style Yogurt (Plain with 3.25% milkfat). + 2 tsp. of the liquid in the yogurt.
(Keep Refrigerated)
Mix in a baby food jar. Take a small portion about 2 tsp. and gently massage in a circular fashion on your face and neck, and lips... Use enough to cover face, like a regular wash. Massage for approx. 60 seconds. You will feel the Almond flour begin to exfoliate your skin. The yogurt helps your skin maintain a proper ph level, and the olive oil is a wonderful moisturizer. Remove with a damp cloth. As a final rinse, splash cool water over your face and gently pat your face dry. If extra moisture is needed. Take a drop or two of the olive oil and massage into fingertips, pat fingertips on face and gently stroke in an upward motion. Your skin will look svelt and beautiful. I did this this morning and was pleasantly surprised.
