Facial anti-inflammatory mask
Hello dear readers,
This recipe for an anti-inflammatory mask has way too many ingredients; however, I do not want to subtract any of them since they all have proven inflammation-quenching qualities.
If you a missing an ingredient or two, you can still go ahead and try it.
Here it is:
1 tsp of plain yogurt (any type, any fat content)
1/2 tsp raw honey
1 tsp or less of apple cider vinegar (with the mother)
3 drops of tea tree oil
3 crushed aspirin pills (uncoated)
a pinch of turmeric powder
Mix all in a plastic cup. Be careful to apply only on your face (turmeric stains everything). I keep the mask on my face until the mixture dries out and tightens the skin. Wash with water. If you are afraid that your skin will acquire yellow glow from the turmeric powder, then shorten the treatment.
I routinely leave the mask for an hour on my face and if there is any residual color, I wipe off the skin with my recipe cleanser.
