Thursday Home Remedy - Facial Masks

Well, last Thursday I gave you some recipes for homemade facial cleansers. Today I'm giving you some homemade facial mask recipes. I hope someone finds these useful.

FACIAL MASK RECIPES
Apple Facial Mask (oily skin that is acne prone) Mix 1 medium size apple (grated), 5 tablespoons of honey to make a mask. Smooth over skin then let sit for 10 minutes, rinse off with cool water.
Banana Facial Mask (dry skin) Mash 2 bananas with a fork...don't over mash or it will be too runny. Add some honey* if desired. Smooth over skin, let sit for 10 minutes, rinse off with cool water.
Peach Facial Mask (normal skin) Cook 1 peach until its soft, mash with a fork, add 1 Tbs honey and oatmeal until its a thick consistency. Apply to skin. Let sit for 10 minutes, rinse well with cool water.
*Oatmeal is highly absorptive, hypoallergenic, and helps to soften skin. Oats have the best amino acid balance of all the cereal grains (amino acids work as water-binding agents in skin care products). Oats have also been clinically shown to help heal dry, itchy skin. Oat grains and straw appear in shampoos, dusting powders, moisturizers, and cleansing bars and more.

Last night we were invited over to Ray's eldest daughter's (Stephanie) new house for dinner. Ray worked on the garbage disposal and then we sat down to a taco dinner. Ray really liked the cheese nachos. Steph used Doritos to make them and they were pretty good, even if they were slightly burned.

I was playing with Kaden (now 8 months old) while Ray worked on the garbage disposal. He is such a sweetheart! He has these big beautiful eyes that just light up whenever he smiles. Aubreigh (just turned 2 in December) is such a pickle and just cracks me up. When she doesn't like what someone says she gets this look on her face, then she points at them and starts telling them off. Of course, she has the prettiest curly red hair to go with that attitude too and such pretty blue eyes.

After dinner Stephanie and Joe got out the Rock Star game and showed us how to play while the kids played in the toyroom. We had a lot of fun with the game and I have a feeling that game is going to find it's way into our house in the not too distant future. Daddy said he wants to see me playing the drums, lol. I had enough trouble with the guitar. Silly ol' man. We must have been having a lot of fun because before we knew it, it was 9:30 pm and time for us to go.

Well, I've got some things to do around here before that baby girl wakes up. Have a great day and this Rock Star (I'm gonna have to come up with a stage name, lol) will see ya soon!
Hugs!
