Recipe: Cucumber, Papaya, and Chamomile Facial Mask

Tips and Tricks - Home and Garden
CUCUMBER, PAPAYA, AND CHAMOMILE FACIAL MASK

"This refreshing mask, especially soothing after being in the hot sun, reduces puffiness, soothes sunburn, and rejuvenates your delicate complexion. If needed, repeat every other day for 1 week."

3 tablespoons peeled and chopped cucumber
3 tablespoons peeled and diced ripe papaya
10 drops chamomile essential oil
2 thin slices cucumber for each application

Place the chopped cucumber, papaya, and oil in a blender and puree at high speed. The puree will keep, refrigerated, in an airtight container for several days.

When ready to use, wash and dry your face, then apply half the puree. Avoid getting it in your eyes. Lie down, close your eyes, and place the cucumber slices over your eyes. Relax and let the mask set for 15 minutes. Rinse your face with cool water, dry thoroughly, and apply facial toner and moisturizer.
