Lately, I've been enjoying a salt water bath every other day. I don't stay in the tub longer than 15 or 20 minutes, and I like to add snips of the fresh herbs I've managed to nurse through the winter...rosemary, sweet basil and aloe. This morning I was thinking about the facial I enjoyed on vacation... and was wishing I could replicate its soothing feeling on my skin.
Any suggestions, I asked, as I prepared my tub. And sure enough... this is what the Angels said to do. This mask is especially energizing for "mature" skin (like mine.)
You will need
3 regular aspirin, uncoated.
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons fresh finely grated potato
In mortar and pestle, grind aspirin to fine powder. Add honey and potato, stir well. Apply mixture to face and throat, avoiding the area around your eyes. Leave on approximately ten minutes. Rinse off with warm water, pat dry. The salicylic acid in the aspirin as well as the enzymes in the honey will act to stimulate and exfoliate the dead cells on top. The potato contains agents that help fade age spots and is also beneficial for blemishes.
