Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of flaxseeds
- 1 cup of water
- 1 teaspoon of honey (optional)
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Flaxseed Gel:
- Place 2 tablespoons of flaxseeds in a small saucepan.
- Add 1 cup of water to the saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes gel-like.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Strain the Gel:
- Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the gel into a clean bowl. Discard the flaxseeds or save them for another use.
- Allow the gel to cool completely.
- Add Optional Ingredients:
- If desired, mix in 1 teaspoon of honey for added moisture and antibacterial properties.
- Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice for its skin-brightening and tightening effects.
- Apply the Mask:
- Cleanse your face thoroughly to remove any dirt or makeup.
- Apply the flaxseed gel evenly over your face, avoiding the eyes and mouth.
- Leave the mask on for 10 minutes.
- Rinse and Moisturize:
- Rinse off the mask with lukewarm water and gently pat your face dry with a clean towel.
- Follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in the hydration.
Tips:
- Use this mask every morning for best results.
- Store any leftover flaxseed gel in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Consistency is key. Regular use can help improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Enjoy your youthful, glowing skin!
