If the fragrance of peaches delights you, this fruity peel mask will be just the ticket. Add the anti-oxidant rich properties of green tea to moisturizing peach and you have a natural, cleansing and rejuvenating peel mask all in one. It is easy to make at home and is kind to the budget.
Face Mask
Ingredients1 cup boiling water
1 green tea teabag
1/4 cup peach nectar (homemade or purchased)
1/4 ounce packet gelatin (unflavored)
[edit] StepsAdd the green teabag to the cup of boiling water.
Steep for 10 minutes.
Remove teabag.
Put together a double boiler with simmering water.
Place quarter cup tea, quarter cup peach nectar and gelatin in the double boiler.
Stir together until gelatin dissolves. Allow it to thicken. This will take about 1 - 2 minutes.
Remove and refrigerate the thickened mixture for half an hour.
Create your face peel mask. Using a thick makeup brush or your fingertips, spread the mixture over your face. Only make a thin layer.
Allow mask to set. Leave for approx 5 to 10 minutes.
Peel off the mask.
Rince your face with cool water. Pat dry and moisturize.
Tips Do not place the face peel mask on the delicate skin surrounding your eyes - leave these free.
Exchange gelatin for agar agar or pectin if you are vegetarian, or you would prefer not to use gelatin.
WarningsThis is a once only mask - do not keep any remaining mask paste but discard after use. Remake a new batch each time as needed.
