Mixing it up Porcelain Girl style


Simple Homemade Face Masks 

I am home for the break and have some time on my hands between Christmas parties with my parents and birthday celebrations. Both of my parents birthdays' fall in the month of December. If there is a better way to celebrate a birthday with your mother then to blend your own organic beauty products ... I don't know what that might be. As for my father, he must think its odd that the house smells like baking when there is never any sweets out on the counters. And I'm sure when finds so many jars in the refrigerator that are edible but may not taste the way they smell he's puzzled. However we know that in those little bottles we keep chilled in the top shelf do amazing things for our skin!

I always want to make sure that I am not sharing something I haven't tried my self. I don't tend to give my seal of approval easily... ask my friends and the men they date! So I have tried each of these recipes (some for fun, some for results) and now I am going to share them with you!

You should only put a mask on once a week. Some of the fruits & veggies can be very acidic and will leave skin raw if done too often. 





 Peach Bourbon Mask

 2 pitted peaches (blended until smooth)
 1 shot glass full of bourbon (well two if you drank the first one)
 Keep Refrigerated



Banana Mask (for acne/sensitive skin)

1 whole banana (preferably ripe)
2 tsp of honey (preferably local)
3-4 drops of lemon (or orange) juice
Keep Refrigerated



Avocado Mask (for dry skin)

1 whole avocado
1/2 a cucumber
2 Tsp honey (preferably local)
2 Tsp powdered milk
Keep Refrigerated






Yogurt Mask
(for dry skin)

1 cup natural organic yogurt (goats milk yogurt works wonder)
1/2 cup organic oats
Keep Refrigerated




Sweet Strawberry Brown Sugar Scrub
 (acne prone skin)

6 fresh strawberries
1 tablespoon of organic honey
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Keep Refrigerated & Use Weekly



All of the ingredients must be blended well and work best if used immediately. Every mask should be applied to fresh clean skin and should only be left on for 15 to 20 minutes. Making homemade organic masks is a great group activity with its own party favor built in! I had a blast blending and testing in the kitchen! I hope you enjoy each of these as I did. Remember to enjoy life with others and share your love organically.
