FOOD FOR FACE: HOMEMADE FACEMASK

I love making my own face mask.. It's a home remedy that my mom has been doing for decades and I grew up watching my mom putting FOOD on her face. My favorite is cucumber face mask. Cucumber is rich in vitamin C (so does the orange, but orange is too acid-like) which is good for sunburned face after a day at the beach.

Here's how:
Ingredients- one small cucumber, 1/2 cup flour, 1 egg york.
Directions- Grate the cucumber with a vegetable grater and add the flour and york and mix them together in a bowl then put in on your face. Leave it on for 20-30 min and wash it off with warm water. ** You can also substitute flour with oatmeal**
TIP from my aesthesian: Before you start the mask, it's good to open your pores with a steamed-towel.(wet a towel and put it in a microwave for 20 seconds and pet your face with it)
